A site feasibility study is the foundational step in any development project. At Sterling Engineering, we conduct thorough assessments to evaluate the viability of a proposed site. This include, topography, environmental constraints, zoning regulations, and utility availability. By identifying potential challenges early, such as flood risks or geological issues, we help clients make informed decisions that save time and costs. Our studies incorporate advanced tools like GIS mapping and preliminary cost estimates, ensuring your project starts on solid ground.

Site development planning involves creating a master blueprint for transforming raw land into functional spaces. We collaborate closely with clients to outline layouts that optimize land use, incorporate sustainable practices, and integrate necessary infrastructure. This service covers everything from grading plans to access points, ensuring compliance with local codes. Our approach emphasizes environmental stewardship, such as minimizing disruption to natural habitats, while maximizing efficiency for residential subdivisions or commercial complexes.

Concept plans serve as the creative vision for your project. We develop initial sketches and diagrams that illustrate proposed layouts, including building placements, roadways, and green spaces. These plans are iterative, allowing for client feedback to refine ideas before detailed engineering begins. Drawing on our extensive experience, we ensure concepts are practical, aesthetically pleasing, and aligned with budget constraints, setting the stage for successful execution.

Road designs are critical for safe and efficient transportation within developments. Our engineers design roadways that meet traffic demands, incorporate proper drainage, and adhere to standards set by bodies like the Tennessee Department of Transportation. From rural access roads to urban thoroughfares, we factor in elements like curvature, pavement materials, and signage to enhance durability and user safety.

Sanitary sewer and pump station design ensures reliable wastewater handling for growing communities. We create systems that include gravity sewers, force mains, and lift stations, optimized for capacity and energy efficiency. Our designs integrate with existing infrastructure, minimizing disruptions and meeting health and environmental regulations from agencies like the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.

Erosion control design safeguards sites during and after construction. We implement measures like silt fences, sediment basins, and vegetative stabilization to prevent soil loss and water pollution. Compliant with NPDES permits, our strategies protect ecosystems and maintain site integrity, reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Navigating Aquatic Resource Alteration Permits (ARAP) is essential for projects impacting wetlands or streams. We prepare applications, conduct delineations, and design mitigation plans to obtain approvals from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. Our expertise ensures minimal environmental impact while advancing your development goals.

Residential and commercial site plans detail the arrangement of structures, parking, and landscaping. We produce comprehensive drawings that address zoning, accessibility, and aesthetics, facilitating permit approvals. Tailored to client specifications, these plans balance functionality with appeal for homes, offices, or retail spaces.

Our consultation services offer expert guidance at any project stage. From preliminary advice on regulatory hurdles to ongoing support during implementation, we provide insights based on decades of experience. This flexible service helps clients troubleshoot issues and refine strategies for optimal outcomes.
