Site Design / Permitting

Comprehensive and creative site design is critical to maximizing the potential of your property. Whether your project is large or small, residential, commercial, or industrial, this is an area where Ruggiano engineers excel.

Once you’ve chosen your site, and your boundary and topographic surveys are complete, it’s time to dive into site-specific planning and design. In the planning phase, we work with you to make sure that your property and your project are the right fit. We ask the questions and do the research that will let you avoid roadblocks once the project is underway. We investigate property locations, and review local and municipal ordinances to determine site suitability. We evaluate potential access issues, zoning regulations, possible environmental impact, and any potential historic preservation concerns. We investigate potential impacts to wildlife and wetlands, and if either need to be considered in the design of a project. We establish what, if any, effect the project could have on local agriculture and soils, and the feasibility of ADA/handicap access. We troubleshoot issues before they arise, even delving into community perceptions that might affect the project in the permitting phase.

Once analyses have been performed and site and project compatibility have been fully explored, we iron out the details of site design. We map out the physical profile of the site, including contours, cuts, and fills so that we can create a balanced site, manage stormwater runoff, wastewater, and water supply systems. We incorporate utilities as well as property access, including roads, driveways, and sidewalks. Traffic studies and traffic flow design may also be implemented during this phase.

At Ruggiano Engineering, we have the comprehensive expertise to create an effective site design that minimizes your investment, avoids costly delays, and addresses environmental considerations — important priorities that establish the foundation for a successful project.

The staff at Ruggiano Engineering, Inc. has decades of experience in Federal, State and local permitting. This knowledge and expertise enables us to expeditiously navigate the permitting process on your behalf.
