Civil Engineering For Water Sector Michigan

We’re Here to Help

We service municipalities, county drain commissioners, water resources commissioners, architectural firms, private developers, and the State of Michigan.

If you would like to know how our civil engineering expertise can help advance your project, reach out to us today.
  1. Site Specific Environmental Analysis:

    Site Evaluation: We recommend a preliminary site evaluation to determine the feasibility of a project within your properties regulatory zone.

    Compliance Review: Analyze permitting authority requirements and regulatory constraints to ensure project feasibility and compliance.

  2. Civil Engineering & Design

    Shoreline Design: With fluctuating Lake Michigan water levels, erosion has become an ongoing issue for many waterfront property owners. We have extensive experience assisting homeowners and contractors in obtaining permits for various shoreline activities including dune restoration, regrading, and hard armor shoreline protection using riprap revetments and sheet steel seawalls.

    Critical Dune Permitting: Properties located in the Critical Dune area require a permit from EGLE for almost all activities. Some existing site conditions can make obtaining an EGLE permit difficult. We recommend a preliminary site evaluation of properties within the Critical Dune area to determine the feasibility of a proposed project.

    Permit Application Assistance: With extensive knowledge of regulatory requirements and decades of permitting experience, we can obtain permits from various regulatory agencies in the most efficient manner possible. This allows clients to finish projects on time and within their budget.

  3. Environmental & Regulatory Compliance & Permitting

    Environmental Permitting: We handle permitting for local, state, and federal environmental regulations, including shoreline stabilization, wetlands, critical dune and high-risk erosion areas, septic, well, and stormwater permits.

    Erosion & Sediment Control: Design erosion control systems in compliance with environmental regulations of authorities having jurisdiction.
