Civil Engineering
Site design, infrastructure planning, and engineered solutions that turn your vision into buildable, permittable projects.
BLEW’s civil engineers design the infrastructure that makes development possible. We handle site grading, utility systems, stormwater management, and roadway design from concept through construction.
Our engineers work directly with our survey crews to ensure accurate site data and coordinated execution. We navigate local regulations, secure permits, and stay involved through construction to deliver projects that get built right the first time.
OUR ENGINEERING SERVICES
Site Design & Development
Comprehensive site planning and layout for residential, commercial, and industrial projects from concept through approval.
Grading & Drainage Design
Engineered grading solutions and stormwater management systems that control runoff and meet regulatory requirements.
Utility Design
Complete water, sewer, and storm system design including mains, services, and utility coordination.
Subdivision Development
Full engineering services for residential and commercial subdivisions from platting through infrastructure design.
Stormwater Management
Detention basins, retention ponds, and drainage systems designed to control peak flows and remove pollutants.
Erosion & Sediment Control
Construction-phase erosion control plans and SWPPPs that protect water quality and maintain compliance.
Roadway & Parking Design
Design of access roads, internal streets, and parking facilities meeting geometric and ADA requirements.
Permitting & Agency Coordination
Navigate local, state, and federal regulations to secure approvals and permits for your project.
Construction Administration
Engineering support during construction including RFI responses, submittal reviews, and project closeout.
Floodplain Analysis
Engineering analysis for development in floodplains including CLOMR applications and compensatory storage design.
Traffic Generation Analysis
Trip generation calculations and traffic impact letters documenting site-generated vehicle trips for permit applications.
Local, State & Federal Permitting
Expert coordination with DOT, environmental agencies, and local jurisdictions for all required permits.

OUR ENGINEERING PROCESS
Step 1: Due Diligence & Feasibility
Before a single line is drawn, we determine if your project is actually possible. We identify deal-breakers like environmental constraints, zoning issues, or utility limitations early to save you time and money.
Step 2: Schematic Design (The Concept)
We create a high-level concept plan visualizing building placement, parking, and access points. This rough layout is used for initial meetings with city planners to get early feedback.
Step 3: Preliminary Design & Entitlements
We develop detailed plans for submission to local municipalities for public hearings and planning commission reviews. This is the “approval” phase where we finalize site layouts, preliminary grading, and navigate the entitlement process.
Step 4: Construction Documentation
After concept approval, we produce the technical construction documents—the blueprints contractors use to build your project. This includes final grading, drainage design, utility sizing, erosion control, and hydraulic modeling.
Step 5: Permitting & Agency Coordination
We secure approvals from all required agencies including local municipalities, environmental agencies, and DOT. We manage the comment-and-response loop, updating plans as needed to satisfy all requirements.
Step 6: Construction Administration
Our engineers support you through construction, answering contractor RFIs, reviewing shop drawings, and providing final certification so you can obtain your Certificate of Occupancy.
RELATED SERVICES
Civil engineering works best with accurate site data and coordinated services. BLEW provides integrated support:
Land Surveying Topographic surveys and boundary information that form the foundation for engineering design.
Environmental Assessments Phase I ESAs, wetland delineations, and environmental studies completed before design begins.
Zoning Services Zoning analysis, variance applications, and entitlement support to secure development rights.
Construction Services Construction administration and project closeout to ensure your design is built correctly.
