Services
Civil Engineering Design
Kelley Engineering & Surveying specializes in civil engineering design for residential, commercial, and municipal projects. Services include site plans, grading plans, and storm water pollution prevention. Our team ensures compliance with local regulations while optimizing functionality and sustainability.
Aerial Photogrammetry
Using DJI Phantom 4 drones, we capture high-resolution aerial data for topographic surveys and earthwork calculations. This technology reduces costs and ecological impact while providing scalable, accurate mapping solutions for land development projects.
Boundary Surveys
Our boundary surveys establish precise property lines using Trimble R-10 GPS systems. This service supports land transactions, development projects, and dispute resolution by delivering legally defensible measurements and documentation.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention
We design storm water pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) to mitigate environmental impact during construction. These plans ensure compliance with regulatory standards through erosion control, sediment management, and site-specific best practices.
Project Management
Kelley Engineering provides end-to-end project management for civil works, coordinating design, permitting, and construction phases. Our approach prioritizes timely delivery, budget adherence, and seamless collaboration between stakeholders and regulatory agencies.
