The kinds of work we take on — utility permitting programs, engineering delivered at scale, CAD coordination, and the move from drafting to declarative CAD. Described by project type; we don't publish client names.
Utility Permitting & Civil Design
Multi-year program delivering 500+ permit packages annually for cast iron and bare steel main replacement across 40+ municipalities. Includes directional bore plans, road crossing details, and DOT/municipal permit applications — all produced in AutoCAD Civil 3D.
High-volume service line design and DOT permit packages supporting new residential and commercial connections. Field mapping of existing conditions, site plans, and right-of-way documentation.
HDD plan and profile sheets for gas main installations beneath state highways and railroads. Entry/exit pit details, utility conflict analysis, and complete permit packages for DOT and railroad authorities.
Fiber-to-the-home route engineering and municipal permitting for a greenfield broadband deployment spanning multiple counties. Directional bore plans, conduit placement, and ROW permit packages produced in Civil 3D.
Underground conduit design and right-of-way permits for metro fiber ring expansion. Field mapping, directional bore profiles, road crossing details, and DOT/municipal permit applications.
Combined aerial strand engineering and underground directional bore design for a multi-community fiber buildout. Site plans, road plans, and complete permit packages across 20+ municipalities.
Engineering at Scale
When a project outgrows an in-house team, we can stand up a coordinated engineering group off-site and size it to the work.
An off-site ESPO engineering team worked as a resource for a large part vendor, applying reverse engineering at scale to a catalog update.
CAD Coordination
Coordinating CAD across designers, disciplines and owners is its own project type. The work is keeping every contributor drawing the same way.
One maintained set of AutoCAD palettes and blocks, so every contributor draws with the same parts.
Drawing templates and title blocks defined per owner and site, instead of copied from the last job.
A consistent external-reference and naming structure so many hands can work in one drawing set.
The standard lives in one place and is kept current, so what the team draws with matches what the standard says.
How the Work Is Changing
Drafting means drawing every sheet and re-checking it by eye. In a declarative CAD environment you describe what a drawing set must contain — the owner's standards, the title block, the equipment, the numbering rules — and the sheets are generated and checked from that description.
Every line, label and title block is drawn, then revised sheet by sheet and checked by eye.
Shared palettes, block libraries, templates and xref structure keep many hands consistent.
Standards and project data are declared once. Drawing sets are generated, validated and re-issued from them.
We're starting with PLC and electrical schematic sets, where much of the drawing is derived data — numbering, cross-references, equipment lists — rather than design intent. If your drawing sets are mostly mechanical renumbering, they're a good candidate.
While we specialize in natural gas and telecom, our directional bore design capabilities apply to any utility that needs to go underground. If you need HDD plan and profile sheets, we can produce them.
