Civil Engineering Designing with the world in mind.
Our engineering experience is broad, from academic and healthcare facilities to highly technical R&D laboratories, data centers and manufacturing buildings.
Engineering is a historical part of Page’s services, and a critical part. In the mid-1900s, we were one of the first architectural firms in the nation to integrate in-house engineering design services, which was an innovative approach for a single design organization. Today, our engineers are responsible for designing interdependent mechanical, electrical, plumbing, civil and structural systems for a wide range of projects. These vary in complexity and innovation from office buildings and corporate interiors, to academic institutions to technology and healthcare facilities. Page emphasizes the importance of providing distinct engineering specialties. We have staff dedicated to each area of specialty to ensure high levels of expertise. Relying on a single point of architectural and engineering design responsibility allows Page to provide its clients with a higher level of coordination and clarity than is otherwise achievable. While our clients demand outstanding engineering and architecture, our design professionals also are perpetually mindful of the reliability, security, maintenance and aesthetic characteristics that define these facilities as well. We consider whole-picture factors such as siting, unique environmental influences, resource access and more. As a result, several of the facilities we have designed can be categorized as some of the most energy efficient facilities in their particular class.

As prime, Page has delivered a wide variety of projects involving complex utility infrastructure utilizing both in-house resources, or in many cases, using out-of-house civil engineering firms. Projects in which we have served as prime have included: utility replacements within existing active right of ways; analyses and renovations of systems to accommodate new demands; extension of services to project sites; services for compact urban zero lot sites; and distribution networks for new and existing campuses. We have utility system experience including: water, wastewater, gas, telecom and IT, storm, and thermal utilities.

Page Civil Land Development Services MASTER PLAN AND SITE DEVELOPMENT Urban design, economic development, transportation, stormwater and green infrastructure are melded with Owner inputs and building placement to develop for our clients the most desirable site layout in coordination with regulatory entities and a detailed analysis of site characteristics.
UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE Municipal, commercial, residential and mixed-use projects require infrastructure services of varying intensity, specific to each population, based on zoning and economic use of each site. Community engineering design standards set the criteria for each use. Page coordinates with each stakeholder to locate their facilities, identify their existing availability, request extension, and to design to their standards to achieve project needs. From layout to project acceptance Page works with stakeholders through the project duration to clarify, trouble shoot, and assist the Contractor.
HYDROLOGY, HYDRAULICS, DRAINAGE & STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Review site rainfall and site run-off with calculation of pre- and postdevelopment peak flow for use in management of critical drainage facilities. Design systems that convey, detain, and treat stormwater runoff in order to mitigate potential site and community impacts. Review and perform river flood studies.
STREET AND HIGHWAY DESIGN Map topography and existing facilities including finish floor elevations and utilities to coordinate new infrastructure under flatwork. Provide plan and profiles of new utilities in the public right-of-way (ROW). Generate concepts for parking, landscaping, street furniture, lighting, and accessibility to facilitate pedestrian activities or traffic predominately, where desired. Prepare street layouts, profiles and sections to match existing topography and facilities and including location of meters, manholes, transformers, drives, approaches, bollards, inlets, hydrants, curb cuts, curbs and gutter, tire bumpers, accessible parking, sidewalks, accessible routes, irrigation, signals, signage and wayfinding for construction.
WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEM DESIGN Depict existing systems to remain or be maintained during construction and design water distribution systems and wastewater collection systems and services that will supply water service, provide sewage collection, and provide fire protection throughout the project. Analyze sanitary sewer flows and provide pipe slope for proper self-cleaning velocities. Provide meters and backflow preventors in traffic rated vaults. Distribute hydrants throughout the project according to Fire Code. Obtain flow tests and use to calculate head losses and verify pipe size to achieve required fire flow to be provided at each structure.
CITY, STATE, AND FEDERAL PERMITTING Identify governing agencies and stakeholders at project initiation to begin coordination and obtain timely authorization. These range from Municipal Utility Districts to cities to the EPA to community organizations. Page develops relationships early to coordinate directly with permitting personnel to move your project efficiently through approval.
