Site Development

Shield has extensive experience in preparing regulatory permits and managing design approval and construction of site development projects. Our staff has designed sanitary sewer and water distribution systems and coordinated the service extensions of natural gas, electric, telephone and cable television utilities.  Shield can also prepare sewer/water service feasibility studies to identify capacity constraints and costs of service alternatives. Shield integrates all design elements into constructible construction drawings and specifications.

Shield has extensive experience developing site grading plans, producing "balanced" earthwork conditions to limit the need to import or remove material from the site. We have developed and evaluated grading plans for sites involving as little as a few thousand cubic yards to over several million cubic yards of earthmoving to satisfy project objectives. Our site grading consulting services incorporate CAD technology and integrate the important aspects of site development, such as slope stability, drainage, stormwater management, transporation, and geotechnical requirements.
