Portfolio
For over 35 years, S&EC has successfully delivered on a range of projects throughout North Carolina and beyond.
Here's a sample of our work in natural resource identification, site and environmental assessment, environmental permitting, soil science & mapping, wastewater system design, engineering, stream, buffer and wetland restoration, and innovative stormwater BMP design, among other projects.
Engineering & Design
S&EC prepared a Jurisdiction Determination and Hazard Classification Application for two small, in-series dams located on a property in Johnston County, NC.
S&EC analyzed the proposed Friendship Chapel Road Extension project and performing a comprehensive flood study to determine water surface elevations and floodplain boundary mapping for a multi-culvert road crossing of Dunn Creek within the Town of Wake Forest, North Carolina.
S&EC performed hydraulic analysis for the proposed Olive Ridge Subdivision Greenway/Boardwalk project by performing a comprehensive flood study to determine water surface elevations and floodplain mapping for a planned community greenway project within the Town of Apex, North Carolina.
Landscape Restoration
S&EC prepared restoration design plans for approximately 450 linear feet of piedmont stream and approximately 0.1 acres of riparian wetlands that were inadvertently impacted as a result of development activities on a property in Durham County, NC.
S&EC prepared restoration design plans for approximately 550 linear feet of piedmont stream and approximately 0.5 acres of riparian wetlands in Chatham County, NC, that were inadvertently impacted as a result of development activities on an adjacent property.
S&EC prepared repair and stabilization design plans for approximately 425 linear feet streambank along Cross Creek which failed during a hurricane event. The failure the stream bank, and an almost 50 foot high upper slope, is located immediately adjacent to the historic Cross Creek Cemetery in Fayetteville, NC.
Resource Identification
S&EC worked with Pender County officials to identify and document Red-cockaded Woodpecker cavity trees on a property located in the Grady Township in Pender County, NC.
S&EC conducted environmental consulting, to include a wetland delineation and Town of Apex Riparian buffer review for the Castleberry Review project in Apex, NC.
Veridea will be a new, sustainable, mixed-use urban community constructed on +/- 1,000 acres within the Town of Apex in Wake County, North Carolina.
Environmental Compliance
Mingo Creek is a multi-family residential development located in Knightdale, NC. These phases of the Mingo Creek project included two road crossings and one aerial sanitary sewer crossing over jurisdictional streams to provide necessary development infrastructure.
S&EC provided site location, environmental permitting, design, construction supervision, and monitoring for two sites related to the mitigation for the Triangle Town Center Mall in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Septic Soils Evaluations
S&EC evaluated the original approximately 128-acre old farm property along Sauls Road in Southern Wake County for on-site, individual, subsurface septic system suitability.
S&EC was brought in by the site civil engineer to help determine locations and suitability of soil/site conditions for new septic drain fields or disposal methods for a couple of existing facilities at Mount Mitchell State Park.
S&EC evaluated the original approximately 114-acre property along Manns Chapel Road in Northern Chatham County for on-site, individual, subsurface septic system suitability.
Groundwater Hydrology
The Hasentree Golf Club Subdivision and golf club community in Northern Wake County within the Falls Lake watershed is on a private, community wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) that cleans up the wastewater to Reclaimed Water (RCW) standards then the reclaimed effluent is used as conjunctive use spray irrigation on the golf course turf grass. S&EC worked with the project engineer on various aspects of the soil series mapping, agronomic soils evaluation, hydrological work, and environmental compliance work to obtain the environmental permits needed for construction.
Project work consisted of Soil/Site Evaluation, Hydrologic Evaluation, and Site Loading Capacity for an Infiltration Basin Wastewater System. The design daily flow was 7,000 GPD. This project is currently in the construction phase.
