Site Civil Engineering at ATCS
At ATCS, we take pride in shaping the communities where we live and work through our comprehensive site civil engineering services. Our site civil engineering team plays a crucial role in designing and delivering projects that seamlessly integrate into the surrounding environment while supporting sustainable growth and development.
The Role of Site Civil Engineering at ATCS
Our team provides a full suite of services, from concept planning and yield studies to detailed engineering design, entitlements, permitting, and construction administration. We collaborate with developer and builder clients across Metro-Maryland, Northern Virginia, Richmond, and Hampton Roads to ensure projects align with their specific needs while maintaining high standards of quality, functionality, and sustainability.
Enhancing Communities Through Thoughtful Design
Civil engineering is more than just infrastructure; it’s about placemaking. Every project we work on requires intentionality and a deep understanding of the local context. Through active engagement with local professional industry associations and volunteerism, our team stays informed about jurisdictional nuances, ensuring each project is tailored to meet the unique needs of its community. While the principles of engineering, land surveying, and project management remain consistent, our ability to customize solutions ensures long-term success for the developments we support.
Transforming Communities: The Cassidy Project
housing multi-family development in Prince George’s County, Maryland. ATCS provided end-to-end site civil engineering services, beginning with yield studies and concept layouts and continuing through entitlements, final engineering construction documents, and permitting. By helping to bring more affordable housing options to the area, our work on The Cassidy contributes to long-term community growth, providing much-needed residential opportunities for local families. One of the many impactful projects our team has contributed to is The Cassidy, a 170-apartment, low-income
Revitalizing Fairfax City: The Breezeway Project
Another key project demonstrating our commitment to community enhancement is The Breezeway, a mixed-use development in Fairfax City, Virginia. ATCS led the conceptual engineering design, outlining the significant benefits this project will bring to Northern Virginia. We successfully rezoned the site—previously home to a 70-year-old motel and adjacent structures—into the Planned Development Mixed-Use district.
The phased redevelopment includes 20 two-over-two multifamily units and 40 townhouses, with a portion designated as affordable housing. Additionally, an 8,000-10,000 square-foot commercial building, upgraded transportation infrastructure, parking, and open space elements will further enrich the community. The project’s master plan features a lawn, seating areas, pedestrian walkways, and a play area to serve families, fostering a vibrant and inclusive neighborhood.
The Role of Site Civil Engineering in Building Communities
As we celebrate Engineers Week, we recognize the critical role of site civil engineering in community development. Site civil engineering is the foundation of how communities are built. From residential and commercial developments to office buildings, campgrounds, parking lots, airport hangars, municipal spaces, and mixed-use developments, every element of the built environment is shaped by the expertise of site civil engineers. By designing and implementing essential infrastructure, site civil engineers ensure that spaces are functional, sustainable, and integrated into their communities, enhancing the overall quality of life. At ATCS, we remain committed to delivering impactful solutions that enhance the built environment and improve the quality of life for residents.
