Land Planning:
Compass Pointe Engineering often starts with raw acreage and client concepts to form a workable plan. They help determine the highest and best use for the property, based on the developer’s desires as well as governing state and local regulations. Property assessments are performed based on client needs and interests to determine suitable locations, or to help decide whether desired location will suit a plan or vision. Site Plans are created based on governing ordinances to meet project needs. Environmental considerations are an integral part of all planning processes. Working with surveyors and the developer/owner the team at Compass Pointe Engineering uses its extensive knowledge of engineering and regulations to create a complete and comprehensive plan.

Wastewater:
Wastewater planning involves managing the water from a residence or structure to the septic or sewer system, as well as potential process or industrial site wastes. Wastewater systems, just as water distribution systems, are critical to many permitted uses of personal property. The professionals at Compass Pointe Engineering design for on-site treatment, as well as pump stations, force mains, and gravity sewer applications. Public and environmental health and safety are key criteria in all designs and specifications. Compass Pointe Engineers evaluate all options for projects to satisfy both short-term and long-term solutions for your specific needs.

Water:
Water distribution systems are designed to provide potable water in support of proposed development. This may include modifications and connections to existing facilities. Compass Pointe Engineering ensures public health and safety are priorities in all designs by meeting or exceeding state and local standards in plan designs and specifications.

Stormwater Plans:
When impervious surfaces are added to otherwise undeveloped areas, (lots or acreage) a stormwater run-off plan is usually required. Compass Pointe designs a Best Management Plan (BMP's) as required by state and local regulations that outlines how stormwater is dealt with before it reaches the streams, rivers or other bodies of water, thus protecting the environment and adjacent properties.

Erosion Control:
Removal of vegetation and grading that is necessary during construction leaves the land particularly vulnerable to erosion. The erosion control plan minimizes the amount of erosion during construction. This plan includes considerations for sediment control, preventing eroded soil from leaving the construction site and contaminating the environment or discharging into adjacent properties and water bodies.
