Civil / Site Development

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.
