Civil Engineering Projects Require Special Expertise

Choose a Firm That Will Go Above and Beyond

From proper stormwater management in new developments to preservation of historic buildings and sites, civil engineering projects require an especially precise level of care. Clifton Engineering understands the intricacies of civil engineering and is prepared to bring unique solutions to the table to make your project run smoothly, all while remaining on schedule and on budget.
A key component of this service is the meticulous design of HVAC systems, which is tailored to meet the specific needs and constraints of each project. CLIFTON conducts a thorough analysis of the building’s layout, usage patterns, and environmental conditions to develop an efficient and effective HVAC design. This includes selecting the appropriate equipment, calculating heat loads, and designing ductwork layouts to ensure optimal air distribution. CLIFTON Technology manages all aspects from initial consultation and design to equipment procurement and installation. Electrical work includes wiring, circuit installation, and adherence to safety standards and local codes. Plumbing services encompass the installation of pipes, fixtures, and related systems crucial for the efficient operation of HVAC units.

Raising the Bar for Our Clients

What to Expect From Clifton’s Civil Engineering Design Team

1. Exceptional Project Coordination

Managing a project with multiple owners, clients, and agencies is a challenge, but Clifton coordinates between all stakeholders to ensure the project is a success and all parties are satisfied.

Clifton provided the master plan for a 126-acre site that includes a reconstructed middle school, an existing high school, a new library and future Center for Advanced Studies to be used by the high school. There are two owners and three architect firms representing the different projects, but Clifton was chosen to be the only civil engineering firm.

During the design process Clifton recognized there was not road that would safely accommodate buses or pedestrian traffic. Clifton coordinated a joint application from the city, the school district, and the county libraries to the county transportation department to approve a roadway improvement project that benefited the entire community by providing safer school and pedestrian circulation. Clifton’s involvement early in the project saved money and ensured the community’s safety.

2. Proactive & Accommodating Project Leadership

Clifton doesn’t just do the bare minimum to keep a project moving. We constantly seek out opportunities to go above and beyond to accommodate the client’s needs.

A local car dealership wanted to renovate and expand a dated facility. Clifton saw an opportunity to design a project that the owner didn’t even know was possible. The project became a major overhaul of the entire property and a highly visible dealership with state-of-the-art facilities and a significant increase in car inventory and display area was created. The renovation was beyond the owner’s and a detailed phasing plan avoided interrupting operations during construction.

Clifton developed a three-phase site construction approach to avoid interrupting operations during construction. The owner was pleased with a renovation that was beyond his original expectations and maintaining operations is always a priority to a business like a car dealership.

3. Unmatched Technical Expertise & Creative Solutions

Civil engineering projects present unique challenges, but Clifton has the practical knowledge and experience necessary to propose sound solutions.

The US Army planned to build an Explosive Waste Incinerator (EWI) and Contaminated Waste Processing (CWP) facility in the mountain region of Virginia. The site is adjacent to a river and within a 100-year flood zone, so standard BMPs to improve water quality would have been the stormwater management solution.

However, a geotechnical investigation discovered karst in the region, making the site susceptible to sink holes. The threat of sink holes and the site’s limited space eliminated the ability to use many of the standard BMPs. With the project’s viability at stake, Clifton’s civil engineering design team went to work on creating another alternative.

The team was able to design a treatment system for the stormwater management ponds that prevented the creation of sinkholes. The required stormwater quantity and quality requirements were ultimately achieved through Clifton’s new treatment system combined with other site BMPs.
