Civil engineering & drainage in Tyler and East Texas
Plan the ground, drainage, and site infrastructure around your project with a clear engineering scope.
For property owners, developers, builders, and project teams
A scope built around your project
Site engineering depends on more than a property outline. Existing grades, drainage paths, proposed improvements, and jurisdiction requirements shape the work. Davis Engineering supports site development projects and drainage concerns by identifying the information needed and the deliverables that fit the project.
Site grading
Grading work coordinates proposed elevations and slopes with the site layout and drainage objectives. A current survey and the proposed improvement plan are important inputs. Share building locations, access needs, and known constraints so the grading scope can be developed around the actual project.
Stormwater & drainage
Stormwater work can involve understanding existing runoff, evaluating proposed changes, and developing drainage improvements within the agreed scope. Tell us where water collects or flows, what construction is planned, and which jurisdiction reviews the project. Additional survey or downstream information may be required to support the evaluation.
Utility coordination
Site utility work depends on available services, provider requirements, and the proposed layout. The engineering proposal establishes the utilities included and the coordination needed. Survey information, existing utility records, and service requirements help identify conflicts and define the design work.
Erosion control
Erosion-control planning should be coordinated with the construction limits, grading, drainage patterns, and applicable review requirements. We discuss the intended construction activities and available site information to define the appropriate scope. Ongoing installation, maintenance, and contractor responsibilities remain part of project coordination.
What to send us
A few useful details help us discuss the engineering scope and provide a project-specific proposal.
- Property address and jurisdiction
- Current survey, topography, and available site plan
- Proposed buildings, paving, and other improvements
- Photos of drainage concerns and desired project schedule
The proposal confirms the services, deliverables, fee, and schedule. Additional investigation, field visits, or revisions are identified separately when needed.
Common questions
Can you review a drainage problem on an existing property?
Yes. Share the location, photos, and a description of when the problem occurs. We will discuss what site information or investigation is needed.
Will every development need detention?
Requirements depend on the location, governing criteria, and proposed changes. The project must be reviewed against the applicable requirements before a conclusion is made.
Do I need a survey before engineering begins?
A survey is often a key input for site design. We can review what is available and identify whether additional topographic or boundary information is needed.
Start with your project.
Send the location, available documents, and the decision you need to make. We will discuss the scope and next steps.
