Infrastructure
GROUPE provides infrastructure engineering services for projects based throughout the Washington Metropolitan Area and the Mid-Atlantic.
What is infrastructure engineering?
To understand infrastructure engineering, one must first know what the word infrastructure means. This term refers to all the systems that support a community, region, or country, including water and sewage, road and rail, and electricity and gas.
Accordingly, infrastructure engineering includes the plans to build, maintain, or add on to each of these systems. In a region like the Washington Metropolitan Area where the infrastructure is hundreds of years old, infrastructure engineering faces unique obstacles and challenges. New projects often must work around old roadways or insufficient electrical systems, requiring innovative approaches and original solutions.
What does infrastructure engineering include?
As a city or region’s infrastructure involves so many components, infrastructure engineering addresses a myriad of concerns. Some of the infrastructure engineering services that GROUPE provides include the following:
- Commercial, industrial, and retail site plans including water usage, sewage plans, electrical needs, etc.
- Residential subdivisions including roadways, entries and exits, water supply and management, sewage management, etc.
- Stormwater management is particularly challenging in areas near the water (like in our region)
- Erosion and sediment control plans
- Estimates of probable construction costs including permitting, rezoning, and environmental concerns
- Grading studies to determine the best approach to land use and water management
- Earthwork analysis to obtain an accurate understanding of soil composition and how this will affect the overall project
GET STARTED TODAY
Infrastructure engineering can be a very complex undertaking. Not only is the geography unique in this part of the country, but any new project must be constructed around other structures that are decades or even centuries old. To undertake a project of this nature, it is necessary to hire an engineering firm that understands these unique challenges and can approach them with confidence. Our team has over three decades of experience in this area and can help you get your project done.
