GBA is a leader in the planning and engineering design of virtually all types of developments throughout the region. The firm first gained recognition for the award-winning Harry S. Truman Sports Complex in Kansas City, Missouri, where we provided planning, design, and construction supervision for all site improvements. Since then, GBA has provided civil/site engineering services for literally thousands of projects including
- Business and Industrial Parks
- Commercial/Retail Developments
- Mixed Use/New Urban
- Residential Development
GBA’s professionals work as teams, with team size determined by the needs of each project, to provide clients with a wide range of civil/site engineering services including sustainable design consultation. This may involve environmental planning and permitting and consideration of sustainable systems and features as well as traditional design services including:
- Site grading
- Storm drainage and detention facilities
- Best Management Practices (BMP) design
- Storm water runoff management
- Sanitary sewer systems
- Wetland and open space conservation
- Water distribution systems
- Roadways
- Parking lots
- Pervious pavement
- Utilities
- Site/street lighting
- Landscaping and irrigation systems
- Renewable power systems
The firm’s comprehensive site development services also include
- Surveying
- Sustainability analysis and design
- Master planning, site planning, and zoning
- Traffic analysis and studies
- Environmental studies
- Landscape architecture
- Construction administration
In addition, GBA specialists use a variety of CADD/modeling software packages to create realistic images. Some of these include
- Civil 3D
- Geopak
- MicroStation
- AutoCAD
Adding a third dimension to a two-dimensional CADD drawing can enable designers to more accurately determine concrete and structural quantities, coordinate construction with underground utilities, or experience first-hand how traffic is impacted by a new development. For our clients, all of these applications ultimately mean a more successful project.
