Civil Engineering
Our civil engineering department provides clients with a full range of design services for land development. Clients come to us with their dream, an idea and a piece of property. We guide them in developing their idea to the property by preparing conceptual layouts and preliminary plans. Next, our survey crews survey the boundary and topography of the property which is used to further define the conceptual plans for the property. We encourage clients to accompany us when meeting with the city and county review boards. These meetings allow clients to fully understand zoning and permitting requirements.
With this information in hand, the civil engineering plans can be developed which will meet the client’s expectations and will smoothly move through the permitting process. The client is invited to be involved in each step of the development process and know exactly how the project is affected by the development regulations. Most local jurisdictions in Georgia have adopted (1) The Georgia Erosion and Sediment Control Manual (The Green Book) and (2) the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual (The Blue Book).
The Green Book provides regulations for the control of erosion and siltation runoff and methods to prevent siltation from reaching streams and creeks. The Blue Book provides regulations for the release of stormwater runoff and also addresses the quality of the stormwater runoff. Atlanta Engineering Services has worked with these guidelines since they were promulgated by the state and adopted by the cities and counties. A thorough understanding of these guidelines help us to advise clients of the ways these laws affect their property and help us guide them in the most successful plan for development of their property and realize their dream.
