- Fixed structures for irrigation, flood protection, drainage, water supply, and sewerage works
- Tunnels
These services usually precede the authorization of a capital project and may involve extensive investigations, analyses of conditions, and comparison of several possible plans. These studies may include the impact of a project upon the environment, sustainable development, operating costs, life-cycle costs, financing considerations, and expected revenues as bases for conclusions and recommendations regarding the advisability of undertaking a project.
Preliminary and Feasibility Investigations and Reports
These services may include the broad areas of developing the engineering requirements of master plans for long-range capital improvement programs, preparation of preliminary engineering of land development plans, urban plans, and regional plans; and the investigation of environmental conditions and preparation of environmental impact studies with subsequent engineering planning to improve or maintain existing conditions.
Planning Studies
These services may include investigations and analyses of existing conditions; capital and operating costs; overhead costs and costs of financing; and revenues as needed to evaluate a property or to recommend establishment of prospective rates.
Appraisals, Valuations and Rate Studies
The Civil Engineer may be engaged by a client who is planning to issue bonds, particularly revenue bonds, to finance a capital project. The scope of services may include an evaluation of capabilities of existing or proposed facilities to meet present and projected future needs, statements of probable construction costs, and an estimate of annual revenue requirements, with a determination of appropriate rates to provide this income.
Assistance in Financial Matters
These services include tests of materials and equipment under established codes and standards, specialized examination of equipment and materials used in construction and industry, and other inspections and monitoring required by a client.
