Services

Eight disciplines, one firm, one P.E. of record.

We are deliberately broad in scope so a single firm can carry a project from feasibility through closeout — and deliberately senior in staffing so each discipline is led by a licensed engineer with a decade or more of practice.

Structural Engineering

Steel, concrete, and timber design — from foundations to roof.

  • Cast-in-place and precast concrete design (ACI 318)
  • Structural steel design and connection analysis (AISC 360)
  • Wood-frame and CLT design (NDS / SDPWS)
  • Foundation design including driven piles and helical anchors
  • Wind and seismic analysis to ASCE 7-22
  • Hurricane-resistant residential and light-commercial design

Civil Site Design

Grading, paving, drainage, utilities — coordinated to permit.

  • Site layout, grading and earthwork balancing
  • Stormwater conveyance and detention design
  • Sanitary sewer and potable water main design
  • Pavement design (rigid and flexible) per LADOTD
  • ADA-compliant pedestrian circulation and parking
  • DOTD driveway and access permit support

Levee, Floodplain & FEMA

Certifications, LOMAs, LOMRs, and the studies behind them.

  • Levee inspection and 65.10 certification
  • FEMA LOMA / LOMR / CLOMR submittals
  • Floodplain development permit support
  • HEC-RAS 1D/2D hydraulic modeling
  • Elevation Certificates by licensed surveyor
  • Coordination with USACE and parish floodplain administrators

Stormwater & Hydrology

Models you can defend, plans that drain in a real Louisiana rain.

  • Detention/retention basin design
  • SWMM and HydroCAD modeling
  • MS4 SWPPP preparation and renewal
  • Low-impact development (LID) and green infrastructure
  • Coastal stormwater coordination with CPRA

Construction Administration

We stay with the project until the punch list is closed.

  • Pre-construction meetings and submittal reviews
  • RFI response and design clarification drawings
  • Site observation and field reports
  • Pay-application certification
  • Substantial-completion walkthroughs and punch lists
  • Record drawings and project closeout

Forensic & Existing Structures

When a building has a story, we read it carefully.

  • Post-storm structural condition assessments
  • Insurance-claim engineering reports
  • Historic structure rehabilitation design
  • Slab, foundation, and settlement investigations
  • Mold, moisture, and envelope failure root-cause analysis

Land Surveying

Boundary, topo, ALTA, and construction staking.

  • Boundary and ALTA/NSPS Land Title surveys
  • Topographic and utility surveys
  • Construction staking and as-built surveys
  • Elevation Certificates
  • GPS / RTK / total station — survey-grade equipment only

Industrial & Petrochemical

Foundations, pipe racks, equipment platforms.

  • Equipment foundation design and anchorage
  • Steel pipe-rack and platform engineering
  • Containment and secondary containment design
  • Brownfield site civil rehabilitation
  • OSHA-compliant access and egress structures

Process

How a project moves through our office.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We meet on site or by phone, walk the project, and confirm we are the right firm for the work. No charge.

  2. 02

    Proposal

    A fixed-fee scope letter, line-item by deliverable, signed by a principal.

  3. 03

    Design

    Concept → 30% → 60% → 90% → IFC. Internal QA/QC review at every milestone, by a P.E. who is not the engineer of record.

  4. 04

    Permitting

    We carry the drawings to the parish, the DOTD, and FEMA when needed. We answer the questions ourselves.

  5. 05

    Construction

    Submittal review, RFIs, site observation, and pay-app certification — with the same engineer who designed the work.

  6. 06

    Closeout

    Record drawings, punch list, and a follow-up call ninety days after substantial completion.

Need a service we didn't list?

If your project doesn't fit neatly in one of these boxes, call us anyway. The honest answer is sometimes "we are not the right firm" — and we will tell you who is.
