Flatirons, Inc.

Engineering Services

To complement our surveying services, Flatirons, Inc. has added a staff of experienced and qualified engineers capable of meeting your civil and structural engineering needs. Our engineers are licensed in multiple states and are familiar with the needs of the development community and the requirements of various jurisdictions. Having managed the development of multiple communities, we are confident that we have the knowledge and skills necessary to produce unique, high-quality solutions to many civil and structural engineering tasks. In conjunction with our surveying services, the engineering department at Flatirons, Inc. offers a complete package to take any project from preliminary design to complete build-out.

Engineering includes the planning, designing, construction, and maintenance of structures and altering geography to suit human needs. Some of the numerous subdivisions are transportation (eg, railroad facilities and highways); hydraulics (eg, river control, irrigation, swamp draining, water supply, and sewage disposal); and structures (eg, buildings, bridges, and tunnels).

Services

• Civil & Structural Design - Design services for infrastructure particularly utilities, roads and access, and buildings.

• Community Development - Development of subdivisions from initial control surveys, plat development, infrastructure design, plot plans, As-built surveys, etc.

• Project Management -Overseeing the process from start to finish including, preliminary design, client communication, communication with other agencies and sub-contractor, determining sequence of tasks and work flow, producing and distributing deliverables.

• Construction Inspections

• Public Process - Manage public process for approvals (i.e. sketch plans, concept plans, change of zone, preliminary plats, final plats, and planned unit developments (PUD)), prepare submittal packets for approval from governing agencies, conduct public hearings, and coordinate permits and improvements for the project.

• Site Investigation - Determine scope of services, evaluation of site features, topography, irrigation and drainage, obtain studies (environmental impact statements, soils, traffic, drainage, wetland, and wildlife studies), utility investigation and letters of service availability, and oil and gas impacts.

• Deformation Surveys - Surveys to monitor the movement of structures, analysis of the movement to determine cause (i.e. seasonal factors). Typically performed on structures like dams, foundations, tunnels etc.

• Control Surveys - A survey to establish a network of survey control to be used on a large project or job typically for construction sites, and subdivisions.

• Plan & Profile A plan and profile is a drawing showing two views of the same features. This type of drawing is typically used to delineate a corridor in which some kind of linear structure, such as a roadway, pipeline, or runway, is going to be constructed. The plan view is similar to maps with which we are all-familiar, and may include such features as topography, structures, utilities, or other features which could impact a proposed design. The profile view is a representation of the vertical features, both at ground level and underground. The two views together provide information in three dimensions, and are usually placed on the sheets so that the plan view is correlated to the profile view at any particular point. This type of document is often used by engineers to prepare construction plans for surface and subsurface improvements. The plan view is used to show the horizontal location of new or existing features, while the profile view provides the vertical locations of new or existing features. The surveyor may be involved in the preparation of a plan and profile prior to design by an engineer, or be called on to take design plans in the form of plan and profile drawings in order to provide construction staking.
