CIVIL ENGINEERING IN CHARLESTON, SC
Development in Charleston must navigate a complex regulatory landscape involving the City of Charleston, Charleston County, and in some cases the towns of Mount Pleasant, Summerville, or James Island. Our team coordinates with the appropriate review agencies and ensures that your site plan meets all applicable zoning, stormwater, and environmental requirements.
Charleston's low-lying coastal topography and high water table make stormwater management particularly challenging. We design drainage systems that account for tidal influences, frequent heavy rainfall, and the need to protect the city's surrounding marshes and waterways from polluted runoff.
Our environmental permitting experience in Charleston includes SC DHEC stormwater permits, coastal zone consistency certifications, and coordination with the US Army Corps of Engineers for projects involving wetlands or navigable waters.
