Engineering ABCs: What is P.V.C.?

As civil engineers, we select piping materials for a wide range of applications and designs. The specific pipe material that is selected can significantly impact the cost, efficiency, and longevity of a project. Among the many options available, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipes stand out for their durability, cost-effectiveness, and their ability to resist corrosion over time. Because of these properties,

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan

Most of our clients (contractors, builders, and commercial site owners/operators) are required to file and maintain a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). A SWPPP is a site-specific document consisting of plans and a written report addressing the sources of stormwater pollution present at a construction site. This stormwater pollution can come in the form of sediment runoff, fallen leaves and
