Civil Engineering

Improper civil grading and drainage and failed civil infrastructure can result in problems at properties including water ponding adjacent to structures, unsafe conditions, water intrusion into structures, flooding, foundation movement, structural distress, and more. Civil failures can range from minor nuisance conditions at a property to catastrophic failures impacting widespread areas.

The design and construction of water drainage, containment, retention, and distribution mechanisms and systems is one of the most important features of any project to protect life and property from the potentially destructive forces of water; from perils such as design and construction defects, civil infrastructure failures, heavy rainfall and flooding, hurricanes and storm surge, and erosion; and from a wide variety of other natural and man-made water sources affecting the built environment.
