Environmental Services
Southeastern Engineering, Inc. (SEI) provides environmental and regulatory consulting expertise to clientele involved in public sector improvement, land planning, and land development projects. SEI’s experience begins at the early due diligence stage of a project and extends through project planning, development, and construction. SEI is well versed in early coordination activities necessary to develop an understanding of a project’s environmental and natural resource exposures. SEI has considerable experience conducting and completing land evaluations including U.S. Army Corps of Engineer waters/wetlands delineations, verifications, floral and faunal protected species surveys, stream evaluations and assessments, fisheries studies, and water quality sampling and analysis. Upon completion of baseline data acquisition, SEI works closely with regulatory entities, clients, land planners and surveyors to prepare environmental permitting documentation (e.g., USACE, USEPA, USFWS, State, County, Municipality, etc.) and deliverables as necessary. SEI is also experienced in the completion and interpretation of bathymetric surveys for ponds and lakes. SEI’s staff includes a Certified Ecologist and Professional Wetland Scientist.
SEI has completed numerous Phase I Environmental Site Assessments. In addition, SEI has staff certified by the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission and the Georgia Department of Transportation to complete erosion control inspections, monitoring, reporting, and rainfall recordation.
Relevant Environmental Services Projects
- City of Sandy Springs: Morgan Falls Road - The redesign of Morgan Falls Road was complicated by several environmental issues therefore environmental screening, coordination and documentation began early with the appropriate regulatory agencies. Although this is a locally funded project, SEI completed coordination procedures typically used when performing National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) and Georgia Environmental Policy Act (“GEPA”) regulatory coordination. The entire segment of Morgan Falls Road...
- Union City: SR 138 Project - SEI utilized survey grade GPS units to establish survey control throughout each route for Vertical (MSL) and horizontal control. These control points were confirmed for accuracy by running a level loop on each route. A robotic total station and total station were utilized to gather the data required for the Base Map. These include; topography, creeks, streams or ditches, storm water and sanitary sewer pipes and associated structures, curb, gutter, pavement, striping, traffic control devices, all above ground visible utilities, property corners, right of way markers and any unusual features...
- Union City: Roosevelt Highway Project - The purpose of this State and Federally funded project was to add, improve and enhance the pedestrian facilities along these corridors. All of SEI’s disciplines were involved in the performance of this contract. Included in these improvements was the upgrade of many intersections and signal modifications for ADA compliance, such as Roosevelt Highway at Lower Dixie Lake Road, Raymond Drive and Gresham Street...
- Union City: Lester Road Project - This project is a State funded TE project subject to regulations outlined in the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) and/or Georgia Environmental Policy Act (“GEPA”). It was found that no archaeological or historical features will be affected by any portion of the project therefore a Programmatic Categorical Exclusion (PCE) has been applied for. SEI also performed a JD and provided regulatory coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“USACE”)...
- Cobb County DOT: Transit Supportive Sidewalks: N. Cobb Parkway, Hicks Road, County Services Parkway - SEI worked closely with Cobb County DOT and GDOT to design and engineer these roadway enhancements in an effort to improve pedestrian access to CCT transit stops as well as improve connectivity and pedestrian safety. This project consists of adding or improving CCT-approved bus stops & adding 5’ sidewalks along both sides of a ½ mile corridor of North Cobb Parkway from Bells Ferry Road south to the Canton Road Connector. All roadway segments have been designed or redesigned to meet current Cobb County and GDOT roadway standards...
- Serenbe Mixed-Use Development - SEI is providing planning coordination, civil engineering and surveying services in support of this nearly 1000 acre, mixed use, sustainable development. Serenbe is the result of a national effort of specialists. Serenbe is a somewhat unique development model in that it is composed of densely concentrated “hamlets” which allows for the conservation of key natural... Learn More
