Site Feasibility Evaluation and Land Planning

Site Selection

Preliminary Site Evaluation entails a desktop review and evaluation of critical environmental and engineering concerns related to the suitability of the site.  A Feasibility Study, including testing for radon, wetlands, hazardous chemicals, and geophysical and hydrological characteristics, is completed for the site. Engineering surveys may include boundary, topographic, and wetlands.  Feasibility of water and sewer services are also investigated.

Site Development

Development plans are prepared consisting of a base plan of the existing topography and boundary, and an overlay of the proposed improvements to buildings, drives, parking, storm water management systems, sedimen­tation & erosion control, traffic, and all utilities. BIA secures all necessary approvals from the applicable regulatory agencies, including the DEP, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Soil Conservation District, and the Department of Transportation.

Facilities Design

BIA Facilities Design Team:

• Civil engineering designs water distribution and sewer collection;
• Environmental services designs water and wastewater treatment systems;
• Structural engineering handles structural design and investigations;
• Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing engineers capable of providing heating, ventilating, air conditioning, fire safety and electrical services.

Facilities Management

BIA can furnish engineering services for on-going operations and maintenance along with preparing specifications for these services. 

BIA can:

• Develop operation and preventative maintenance plans and records. 
• Prepare Computer-based archives of the site, related infrastructure, and facility drawings. 
• Conduct an Energy usage analysis and develop plans for energy reduction and implementation, including projected cost savings. 
• Provide Long-term facility sizing, including capital budgeting.
