Core service

Civil Engineering & Stormwater Design

Innovative stormwater design (also known as a Drainage Plan) is essential for every civil project. We consider drainage at the very beginning of every project to determine site allocation needs and facility costs — so you can plan budget, schedule, and feasibility with confidence.

Deliverables

What we design & deliver.

  • Site plans & grading design
  • Roadway planning and design
  • Utility planning & design
  • Stormwater management & design
  • Stormwater treatment & detention modeling
  • Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP)
  • Commercial, industrial, multi-family & residential development
  • Plats, subdivisions & Planned Unit Developments
Highlight

One coordinated set of civil and stormwater drawings ready for plan review.

We stamp the civil construction plans and stormwater drainage designs under one roof — one engineer of record, one submittal — so you don't have to hand drawings between firms.

Common project types

Civil scopes we carry through review.

Short plats

Short plat stormwater and civil plans

Short plats often stall when the civil sheets and drainage report are not aligned. AXE supports Bellingham and county short plats with the site plan, grading, utility, and stormwater details reviewers need before lots can move forward.

  • Drainage design for short plats in Bellingham, Lynden, Ferndale, and county review
  • Stormwater reports, calculations, and comment-response support
  • Civil sheets coordinated with the land-use and subdivision path

Commercial and multifamily

Commercial, industrial, and multifamily site design

For builders and developers, the highest-leverage engineering work is usually the coordinated site package: grading, utilities, stormwater treatment, detention, access, and review support under one PE-led team.

  • Civil construction plans for commercial, industrial, and multifamily sites
  • Stormwater treatment, detention, infiltration, and downstream conveyance
  • Jurisdiction-ready packages for Whatcom, Skagit, and Snohomish review

Subdivisions

Residential subdivision and plat engineering

Subdivision work needs more than a drainage sheet. AXE ties road, utility, grading, stormwater, and agency coordination into one approval path for short plats, long plats, and planned unit developments.

  • Plat-level stormwater and drainage design
  • Roadway, utility, and grading plans aligned to jurisdiction comments
  • Support through review cycles until the civil package is ready to build
