Review historical site drawings to determine if site objectives align with existing conditions
Understand pavement materials, design of pavement sections, and construction methods
Determine land use characteristics and assign runoff coefficients
Calculate times of concentration
Conduct pre‑development hydrologic analysis for simple sites
Delineate complex watersheds and determine how to model them
Develop design approach for site factoring in topography, existing drainage conditions, outfalls, site constraints, etc.
Design detention ponds and outlet control structures to meet pre‑development discharge rates
Design channel linings
Advance site grading using Civil 3D
Calculate pressure system head losses and related calculations
Understand BMPs for environmental protection and sustainability compliance
Prepare storm drainage reports
Prepare engineering calculations and sketches
Prepare land development plans, site grading, utility and drainage design for planning, permitting and construction of food and beverage processing facilities
Review drawings and coordinate the project team
Prepare bid packages and provide construction administration
