How Civil Engineering Companies Avoid Drainage Delays

Civil engineering companies constructing a stormwater detention pond to control runoff and prevent drainage delays

If you plan to build, you cannot skip drainage and erosion planning. Even a small store or housing project must control stormwater the right way. Otherwise, the city will reject your plans. Then your schedule slows down. Your contractor waits. Your loan deadlines get tight. That’s why strong civil engineering companies focus on more than […]

Construction Survey: Why Every Major Project Begins Here

Mesquite is growing fast. New retail centers are rising near major roads. Warehouses are expanding. Subdivisions continue to stretch farther east. Because of this growth, every serious build now starts the same way — with a construction survey. Years ago, some developers treated surveying like a small step before pouring concrete. Today, that mindset creates […]

How Plastic Asphalt Is Changing Geotechnical Engineering

Cracked asphalt pavement highlighting how geotechnical engineering affects soil stability beneath road surfaces

Texas roads take a beating. Between blazing summer heat, heavy truck traffic, and sudden rainstorms, pavement cracks fast. Now, researchers at UT Arlington are testing plastic-modified asphalt as a way to make roads last longer. The idea sounds simple: reuse plastic waste and create stronger pavement. However, this research also raises a bigger question. What […]
