(ROADWAY DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION)
SMITHCO. has experience in road design and inspection to make an expert judgment on the existing conditions and the ways in which to rehabilitate those that are in need of it. One of the most important services that SMITHCO. can supply is the ability and knowledge to locate state and federal funding to complement local funds to complement local funds in rehabilitation projects. performs a large amount of work for local municipalities, as well as having large degree of experience in coordinating projects with higher levels of government and of applying for funds that these levels of government allocate to local projects. We will utilize our abilities to the utmost to try to make these rehabilitation projects affordable to local communities. The inspection and design process that SMITHCO. follows has been developed over time to encompass all aspects of roadway rehabilitation. can:
Perform the initial inspection on local roadways to prioritize and develop repair schedules. This will entail a detailed report on the existing conditions of all inspected roadways and schedule of repairs. Aid in securing state or federal dollars to help pay for these projects. Provide repair design necessary to upgrade local roadways. Repair or replacement design of all support structures within the scope of work. These structures could include culverts, drainage systems, as well as underground pipes. Offer on-site inspection during construction to insure all designs and specifications are met. has experience in the design and rehabilitation of parking lots, in addition to its work in roadway design. can develop a plan to help any client insure that its infrastructure remains in good condition. GEOLOGICAL / HYDROGEOLOGICAL SERVICES
Federal, State and local regulations often require an assessment of the hydrogeologic conditions at the site to determine the potential for, or the extent of environmental contamination. Hydrogeologic assessments typically involve the analysis of surface and ground water quality, soils, and subsurface properties that when evaluated as a whole, define the horizontal and vertical extent of site contamination. ENGINEERING GROUP’s staff of hydrogeologist and engineers, have extensive experience in conducting successful hydrogeological assessments and site evaluation projects for a variety of clients. typically has called upon to:
Assess impact of water disposal, industrial and commercial operations
Determine suitability of water sources for human consumption
Estimate the extent of surface and subsurface contamination
Delineate ground water recharge and discharge zones
Recommend remedial action alternatives
Perform property transfer assessment
Locate contaminant sources
Some hydrogeological services may require minimal analyses, while others may require a full-scale, multi-disciplined investigation. A typical hydrogeological assessment will involve the following steps:
Site Geology - research all available information on the site geology. Conduct a detailed site inspection to confirm the finds of the research. Monitoring Well - locate and install monitoring wells to develop information about ground water flow characteristics. Groundwater Flow Analysis - to record changes in water levels and flow direction. Remedial Action - recommend alternatives for remediating ground water contamination. For land development projects, it is often essential to analyze the surface and subsurface conditions at a site to ensure the integrity of the structure to be erected. offers a technically excellent staff of engineers, geologists and hydrogeologists experienced in conducting a variety of geotechnical services. STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
