Site Engineering

The current emphasis on environmentally responsible green design and sustainable development has brought a renewed awareness of the importance of site engineering. From concept planning and design development, to right-to-build permitting and the construction delivery of projects, O'Brien & Gere's site engineering team provides a full range of consulting services to support new developments, expansions, or site reuse.

Our clients depend on O'Brien & Gere site engineers to turn their visions into realities. As part of your team, we are dedicated and committed to delivering a successful project. Because our goal is success defined on your terms, we are sensitive to maintaining scope, schedule, and budget. Working with you, we make value-added design decisions that are sensitive to established budgets and schedules, and that result in engineering solutions that work well.

Since site development projects frequently need permits and approvals at several regulatory levels, our responsiveness and broad-view approach to project execution is enhanced by the inclusion of our scientists in our site engineering group. This approach avoids schedule impacts associated with environmental assessments and permitting. Our site engineering services encompass the following:

Site feasibility studies
Storm water pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) and inspections
Erosion and sediment control (in construction)
Economic development
Right-To-Build Permitting™
Storm water management
Infrastructure/utilities
Roadways
Wind energy
Brownfields/site reuse
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

O'Brien & Gere's drive for excellence is first and foremost, whether servicing retail, manufacturing, institutional, or residential development, as well as economic development initiatives to support job growth.

We have expanded beyond our traditional role of designing on-site roadways, parking lots, utility extensions and services, off-site highway improvements, rail sidings, and grading and storm water management, to helping communities and industry capture infrastructure assets through a web-based GIS. Sustainable infrastructure for your program and your community is our goal.
