CIVIL ENGINEERING

Expertise in all aspects of site development

We provide civil engineering design, land development plans and stormwater analysis and design for multi-unit residential properties, schools, community and government buildings, parks, residential sub-divisions, commercial sites, and parking lots.

Stormwater Drainage Engineering
  • All land development and construction projects require proper drainage for stormwater during extreme rainfall events. Proper drainage prevents localized flooding.
  • NWSE engineers work with local planning boards to meet government requirements while balancing costs and aesthetics.
Site Engineering
  • Site design engineering involves civil engineering design, land use planning, land surveying and permitting. NWSE’s engineers work with construction managers and owners to create plans that flow through the entire project; including site investigation, topographic surveying, civil design, stormwater and underground utility management, permitting, construction staking, as-built surveys and regular meetings.
Land Development
  • Land Development includes converting raw land into construction ready housing, commercial or industrial building sites.
  • Northwestern Surveying and Engineering works with clients to capture their vision for the property while working the local planning boards to conform with government requirements on usage, drainage, landscaping, grading, and paving.
  • NWSE produce cost effective plans that minimize fill and grading.
Civil Design
  • Civil engineering is the design and construction of public and private works.
  • Northwestern Surveying and Engineering design construction plans for roads, parks, sidewalks, drainage ponds and parking lots.
  • NWSE’s civil design plans mitigate costs while following governmental guidelines and creating functional and aesthetic plans.
"I would like to take the time to say thanks to you and your field staff at Northwest Survey for this past years work. It has been a comfort to us knowing that your team is working with us onsite to help assist in our survey and four-way sweep needs. Some projects have had very little notice to proceed and NWS has always been able to make things work. Much appreciated! "

From the oil & gas industry, to the grain and industrial industry; NW Survey continues to deliver."

"I’ve worked with NWSE in MN and ND on utility locating and follow-up surveying services. I have only positive things to say about both office and field based NWSE staff. They offer prompt responses, good questions, and timely quotes during proposal development. Dedication to safety, project communications, and the desire for a satisfied end-client are each reasons why our partnership has been successful. A top-notch bunch of folks I hope to continue working with into the future."
