Our Services
Sewage Disposal Systems and Wastewater Treatment
Whether designing a conventional Title 5 subsurface sewage disposal system or larger wastewater treatment facilities, we have the knowledge and experience to take these projects on. Sieruta Engineering is well versed in designing on site wastewater treatment systems, whether it is a conventional, chambered, drip, pressure distribution, etc. We continually evaluate cost and performance of new and emerging wastewater treatment technologies so that we can advise our clients on the best option available for their facilities. We have many years experience in designing septic systems all over the state (in over 50 towns)
Site Analysis and Feasibility Assessment
Our extensive experience in engineering and environmental analyses will help our clients determine the feasibility and scope of a land development project. Code/regulatory reviews, permitting inventories, preliminary layouts, timeline assessments, and cost estimates provide our clients with the information necessary to make informed decisions. Our detailed land surveys pay particular attention to significant natural and manmade features that could affect the success of the design. Critical features and setbacks are evaluated and integrated into our existing conditions plans and guide our conceptual designs.
Site Planning and Development
All site development projects require an engineered site plan that shows the location of proposed buildings, site improvements, utilities, grading, drainage, and roads and parking lots. The site topography, wetlands, soil conditions, and/or drainage concerns are major factors in development of an appropriate design. We provide the degree of plan detail necessary to assure that the design will be clearly understood and implemented as intended. Our staff has the experience with design solutions to meet any challenge, be it safety issues, regulatory requirements, stormwater management, or environmental issues. In addition to the plans, we offer advice in the planning and coordination of technical aspects of construction projects.
Stormwater Management
Sieruta Engineering has the knowledge and experience to design your project in compliance with the requirements of the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook, Massachusetts Stormwater Management Standards, and all local zoning and wetlands bylaws. We can prepare the stormwater management plans, operation and maintenance manual for stormwater facilities, best management practices aimed to control the source of pollutants that could be transported by stormwater runoff, Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans as well as a spill response plan. Our designs utilize Low Impact Development (LID) practices such as vegetated swales, rain gardens, and bio-filtration basins to uptake pollutants through vegetative cover and then naturally filter stormwater runoff through soil layers. We utilize these techniques to have the most sustainable and cost efficient designs for each individual application.
System Inspection and Soil Evaluation
Sieruta Engineering Specializes in comprehensive soil evaluation and planning for your designated site. The first step in designing a new septic system is the soil testing which determines how large the system is and where the water table is for that area. State regulations require that a Licensed Soil Evaluator (SE) be used for the soil evaluation and percolation test. What makes us different from the competition is that we are a one stop shop for all you planning and evaluation needs, which is also backed by our level of professionalism and experience it site planning and design. By understanding the unique characteristics of a site as well as having a well planned analysis, it allows us to have a comprehensive and coherent design from start to finish. We are able to do this by not only being Professional Engineers (PE), but also being Licensed System Inspectors (SI) and Soil Evaluators (SE). Our designs are meant to ensure the longevity of proposed system, as well as taking into account aesthetic layout, by having the system blend in with the surrounding landscape and contours.
Title V Inspections
If you need a comprehensive Title V inspection for you existing septic system, Sieruta Engineering is here to help. Title 5 is defined in the Massachusetts State Environmental Code 310 CMR 15.000, and is designed to protect communities and environments from the potential hazards of on-site wastewater disposal systems. Whether you need a mandatory inspection for a property that is being sold or altered, or if you simply want a voluntary assessment, our Title V specialists and System Inspectors have the knowledge and experience to help you with your property.
