Civil Engineering in Houston
Local civil engineering experts for the Houston Metro area. We specialize in grading, drainage, and stormwater management designed to handle our local climate and regulations. From commercial builds to residential lots, we manage the permitting process to get you from concept to construction without delay.
Our Services
Detailed Site Plan
We design comprehensive site plans to illustrate the full layout of your project, including structures, utilities, access roads, and landscaping. These plans serve as the master roadmap for your development, ensuring every aspect is accurately mapped to meet local zoning requirements and expedite the permitting process.
Grading Plan
Proper site preparation is essential for a stable build. We develop precise grading plans that optimize land use and respect the natural terrain. Our designs ensure proper water drainage away from structures while balancing earthwork to reduce costs and comply with city codes.
Drainage Study
Before construction begins, it is vital to understand how water moves across your land. Our hydrology experts conduct in-depth drainage studies to evaluate water flow and historical patterns. We design efficient solutions that prevent flooding and erosion, protecting your investment long-term.
Detention Pond Design
We specialize in the design of detention ponds that effectively manage stormwater runoff and reduce flood risks. Our engineered solutions are tailored to site-specific hydrology, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and providing sustainable, low-maintenance water management.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
We create robust SWPPP documents to mitigate stormwater pollution during construction. Our plans ensure your project remains compliant with the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and local environmental mandates by outlining clear best practices for pollution control.
Erosion and Sediment Control Plans
Construction activities can disrupt soil stability. We provide detailed plans to protect your site during the build phase, preventing soil loss and ensuring compliance with local construction codes regarding sediment control.
No Rise Certificate
For projects located near floodplains, demonstrating zero impact on flood levels is mandatory. We provide the necessary engineering analysis and documentation to issue a "No Rise Certificate," proving that your proposed development will not increase flood heights in the area.
Why Choose Emarat for civil engineering services
We combine engineering precision with local building insight to help you design and build safely.
Areas We serve
As a Texas-born company, our roots and reputation are built right here in the Lone Star State. We understand the Greater Houston area’s unique mix of flat coastal terrain, expansive clay soils, and rigorous flood control standards. This allows us to design site infrastructure and drainage solutions that are precise, reliable, and resilient.
