Civil Engineering Design in Mount Vernon, WA

Northwest Datum & Design provides civil engineering design and land surveying support for private and public projects throughout Skagit, Whatcom, Island, Snohomish, and San Juan Counties.

NWDD assists property owners, developers, contractors, public agencies, architects, attorneys, and design professionals with civil engineering design, site planning, stormwater and drainage design, road design, sewer and water utility design, erosion and sedimentation control plans, and permitting support.

Because NWDD provides both surveying and civil engineering services, project information can be coordinated from the initial site survey and base mapping through engineering design, agency review, permitting, construction staking, as-builts, and project completion.

If you are planning a short plat, long plat, commercial site improvement, residential development, roadway improvement, utility extension, storm drainage project, or permit application, call 360-424-4865 or contact NWDD to discuss your project.

Stormwater, Drainage, Hydrology, and Hydraulic Engineering

Stormwater and drainage design are often central parts of civil engineering projects in Northwest Washington. NWDD can assist with storm drainage systems, hydrology, hydraulic engineering, conveyance design, erosion control, and related site planning needs.

Civil engineering design may include review of existing drainage conditions, site constraints, topographic survey information, contour mapping services, soils or critical area information provided for the project, agency requirements, and the proposed development plan.

When a project requires additional specialized review, NWDD can coordinate with qualified consultants in related disciplines as needed.

Site Plans, Roads, Access, and Utility Design

NWDD prepares civil design information for site planning, permitting, road and access improvements, utility coordination, grading, and construction layout. The design process may rely on boundary survey information, topographic survey data, record research, base mapping, and agency standards.

Civil engineering design can support short plats, long plats, residential site development, commercial site improvements, public agency projects, and private development projects requiring coordinated survey and engineering work.

Planning, Permitting, and Agency Coordination

NWDD can assist with planning and permitting support related to civil engineering and surveying work. Project needs vary, but support may include permit exhibits, agency submittal materials, construction plan revisions, SEPA checklist coordination, hydraulic project application support, fill and grade permit support, and coordination with reviewing agencies.

Coordinated Surveying and Engineering Support

Many civil engineering projects begin with survey information. NWDD can coordinate property surveys, topographic surveys, base mapping, construction surveying, and civil engineering design so the project information is consistent from the initial field work through design and construction staking.
