Surveying
SEI provides survey services in support of our engineering design services as well as other surveying services on many of our firm’s projects. Our survey crew is equipped with the latest conventional survey equipment including total stations (electronic theodolites) and data collectors to obtain field data for downloading directly to office computers. This equipment is also used to obta
in points from electronic design files to upload to the total stations for use in construction stakeout, making the stakeout surveys more accurate and able to meet the time demands of contractors on tight construction schedules. Our employees continually expand their knowledge through continuing education to provide the most accurate surveys possible. SEI prides itself on the thoroughness of our research and the accuracy of our surveys. An example of one type of specialty survey is the Agricultural Lands Preservation Surveys being performed for the State of Delaware. We have performed numerous surveys of large farm tracts delineating property boundaries, land use types and improvements on the properties. Services

Civil Engineering
It is hard to imagine what our lives would be like without the Civil Engineer. Civil Engineers have contributed more to the health, safety and welfare of the general public than any other profession. Our engineers have extensive experience in many disciplines within the Civil Engineering field and are dedicated to working for the good of the public. Our staff has a strong background in technical analysis and is capable of dealing with a wide range of engineering needs, including water and wastewater design, traffic safety, stormwater management, structural inspections and design, and construction phase services. Our firm has performed numerous hydrologic/hydraulic studies as part of stormwater management, stream restoration, and floodplain analysis projects. NPDES permit applications for stormwater discharges have been prepared for projects throughout Delaware. Engineers and designers routinely use hydrology and hydraulic computer software such as HEC-1, HEC-2, HEC-RAS, HY-8, and TR-20 and frequently attend training workshops to maintain proficiency in their use.

Site Planning and Engineering
Site design is an essential part of any development. Site Planning and Engineering encompasses two major fields of work; Site Design and Subdivision Design. Commercial, Educational, and Industrial site plans involve design of all improvements necessary to a site for construction of an individual site or campus, Industrial Park, or facility for private or public use. Subdivision Design encompasses the work required to create individual building lots and the design necessary for all streets, utilities and other services or facilities required by governing agencies in order to build on each lot. Subdivision Design can be for residential purposes as well as for commercial purposes. SEI has extensive experience in all facets of the planning, design, and construction inspection of Site development, renovation and expansion projects. Typical tasks include facility layout, grading, paving, and utility design, stormwater management, erosion and sediment control and permitting. Our experience also includes transmission, distribution and collection systems for water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, natural gas and electrical/communication ductbanks. Scott Engineering recognizes that many complex issues affect today’s site planning and design and that innovative and cost-effective solutions are paramount in order to bring a project into existence successfully. Our site design employs the latest computer technology for design and drafting to meet specific client needs and SEI prides itself with being able to consistently deliver high-quality plans and specifications on-time and within the client’s budget.
