Utility Design and Relocation

Engineering Efficient Utility Systems for Seamless Development

Utility design and relocation services are essential for integrating or adjusting water, sewer, power, and communication systems to support development projects. Whether installing new utilities or relocating existing lines, careful planning ensures efficient infrastructure placement, regulatory compliance, and minimal disruption to existing services.

Utility Design and Relocation

Benefits

Design Reliable Utility Systems for Your Project

From water and sewer lines to power and telecom, our designs create efficient, cost-effective utility networks that meet project needs.

Minimize Delays With Expert Utility Coordination

We handle utility relocation planning and coordination with service providers to help prevent conflicts and ensure smooth construction.

Address Local and State Regulations

Our utility designs aim to address regulatory standards and permit requirements to support project approvals and long-term functionality.

What to Expect

The utility design and relocation process follows a structured approach to help ensure comprehensive, compliant, and efficient infrastructure solutions. Here’s what to expect:

* Every project is unique! Exact steps and services will vary.

1. Utility Research and Conflict Analysis

We identify existing utilities through research, records, and utility locator services, assessing potential conflicts with proposed site improvements.


2. Utility Coordination With Providers

We collaborate with utility companies and local agencies to coordinate relocations, ensure service continuity, and resolve conflicts.


3. Water and Sewer Line Design

Our team designs efficient water distribution and sanitary sewer systems, ensuring proper capacity, flow, and regulatory compliance.


4. Power, Telecom, and Gas Line Design

We develop layouts for electric, gas, and communication lines, integrating them seamlessly with site infrastructure.


5. Relocation Plans for Conflicting Utilities

When existing utilities conflict with construction, we design relocation plans and coordinate with service providers to minimize disruptions.


6. Stormwater and Utility Crossings

We design utility crossings and ensure proper separation between utilities and stormwater systems to prevent conflicts and meet regulations.


7. Permitting and Regulatory Approvals

We prepare and submit applications for utility permits, ensuring compliance with local and state requirements.


8. Construction Support and Stakeouts

During construction, we provide utility stakeouts and respond to RFIs to help contractors implement the designs accurately.
