stormwater management

  • Peleg’s Point Drainage Study in James City County

Other services include the design, review, and inspection of structural and non-structural BMP’s for water quantity and quality control.

public infrastructure

With aging infrastructure unforeseen problems such as cave-ins and embankment failures are ongoing problems. These could be a hole in someone’s backyard or a pavement collapse on a major thoroughfare. Such situations can pose a nuisance or threat to public safety and require competent engineering design services to quickly identify the problem and provide cost-effective solutions. 

Anticipated services include an initial damage assessment, preparation of the contract documents, evaluation of the bids received, and construction monitoring.

regulatory program compliance

If left untreated, stormwater runoff can wash harmful pollutants like trash, chemicals, oils, dirt and sediment into receiving lakes, streams, rivers and coastal waters. To protect these resources stormwater runoff controls known as best management practices (BMPs) are installed to filter out pollutants by controlling them at the source.

Most projects must comply with local, state or federal regulations that govern runoff from municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s), construction site activities and industrial activities. TTSG is very familiar with the permitting process; the design of BMPs for protection of wetlands  and Chesapeake Bay Preservation Areas; and plan preparation for erosion & sediment control, TMDL reduction and pollution prevention.
