The Professional Engineers at Providence help design, connect, and maintain our communities. Our team has years of experience providing environmentally conscious solutions for the infrastructure necessary for everyday life. 

Providence's civil engineering experience covers municipal utilities/sanitary sewer systems, drainage systems (creation, improvements, and management), new construction and modifications to existing facilities, landfill operations, and site development, to name a few.  

With respect to sanitary sewer systems, we have successfully provided our clients with engineering, design, and construction administration for gravity systems, force mains, and lift stations. We also perform inflow and infiltration (I&I) studies to assist clients in identifying and prioritizing repairs for existing systems. Our experience with municipal water systems includes design and construction oversight for potable water distribution systems, as well as modifications and improvements within existing water treatment facilities.

 From pre-development planning and the critical permitting stage to client representation during construction, we have completed thousands of siting studies, environmental permitting, and licensing projects for facilities. Drawing on our expertise in facility planning, design, construction, and operations, we collaborate with clients to incorporate timely, effective solutions into our site developments. We also provide design, feasibility studies, cost analyses, project management, and construction oversight. With an overall project delivery approach of design-build or design-award-build, our facilities services range from conceptualization to design, post-design services, and construction administration.

Even as innovative approaches to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste continue to be developed, landfill operations remain the backbone of solid waste management. Providence is experienced in all areas of landfill assessment, engineering, and management for both public and private sector clients. We have conducted the full range of landfill and other solid waste facility-related studies, design, and construction projects. As industry experts, Providence engineers and scientists operate at the forefront of comprehensive landfill facility planning, design, permitting, construction, operations, closure, monitoring, and compliance.

Coastal and estuarine systems present complex issues and challenges. Providence provides creative methodologies derived from a unique blend of scientists, engineers, planners, and environmental permitting specialists — all experts with considerable industry experience and technical knowledge. We offer a full scope of professional services for engineered coastal structures, coastal zone projects, wetlands, and waterway environmental permitting projects, as well as all phases of project analysis, engineering design, construction management, and monitoring.

Governing bodies are making a tremendous effort to formulate a comprehensive approach to coastal restoration — a plan Providence strives to support through permitting, compliance, remediation, and design services, as well as our long-standing relationships with governmental decision makers. We are proud to actively advocate for these long-term strategic plans to enhance Louisiana’s coastal regions. 

Providence’s full range of engineering services includes planning, permitting, design, construction administration, repair/rehabilitation of levees, along with other water conveyance and storage structures. Our staff’s collective experience includes a wide spectrum of projects including flood control, channelization, containment of dredged materials, berms for water and wastewater storage ponds and tanks, and slope protection.

As professional surveyors, we’re passionate about solving problems and driven by results. Our experienced staff of professional land surveyors, field crews, and survey/CAD technicians are qualified to meet a broad range of client needs. Our industrial, commercial, and residential surveying is completed in accordance with industry best practices as well as local regulations and standards. Additionally, we routinely measure and map existing site surface conditions and subterranean utilities in both urban and rural developments across all types of terrain.
