Civil Infrastructure
Infrastructure and civil design features are critical elements of any solid waste facility, but are often overlooked unless they are causing a problem. We have more than 30 years of experience designing civil features at solid waste, commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities. Tetra Tech’s solid waste engineers help clients implement the proper layout and design to provide easy and safe access, proper stormwater management to prevent flooding, necessary site utilities, and local planning and zoning compliance. Our designs maximize the assets of specific sites and address requirements for roadways, traffic circulation, stormwater controls, buildings, and operational support facilities.
Our design, permitting, and construction management solutions help clients maximize operational and asset efficiency, profit, safety, and durability. At the County of Orange’s Prima Deshecha Landfill in San Juan Capistrano, California, Tetra Tech designed a major reconfiguration of the site’s entrance facilities to improve traffic queuing, optimize fee collection, and reduce visual impacts on local residential communities. We also designed a stormwater management plan and infrastructure accommodating climate change considerations at Moose Creek Landfill in Ontario, Canada.
