Site / Civil Engineering & Design
GZA seamlessly merges site civil engineering and landscape design services with all of our core service areas.
We assist our clients with diverse assignments ranging from small residential subdivisions to large multi-unit housing projects, public gathering spaces and parks, and a wide range of commercial, institutional, transportation, brownfield, solid waste, and water resources projects.
Our engineering staff works closely with our in-house geotechnical engineers, environmental assessment, and ecological groups, creating engineering designs that are responsive to our client’s site development needs and the site’s environmental and regulatory realities. We strive to deliver environmentally-sensitive, cost-effective designs which meet our client’s needs and are accepted by regulatory authorities in a timely manner.
