Every project we work on begins with understanding the land, its features on, below and above to create a starting point for the work that follows. Gateway’s team of experienced surveyors can provide reliable surveys of virtually any space and ensure the accuracy of the survey to comply with legal, municipal or other regulatory requirements. Surveying is often forgotten about once the construction process begins, but an accurate and certified survey is critical to successful outcomes.

Our Site Civil practice is applied to bring design concepts from “would like to have” to “can be done.” Beginning with the reality of a survey as the foundational baseline, we review architectural plans or landscape architectural design to, ultimately, develop plans to construct the intended project.

Gateway’s geotechnical engineers and geologists provide crucial analysis of the soil and rock on which any structure, road or installation will be built. While no two construction sites are ever the same, this is particularly true in the Pittsburgh region where many geologic features are present. Our team, and its experience in this region, allow our clients to advance their projects with confidence, understanding where to build and how to build upon the specific features of a site.

Landscape architecture is often thought of as a design function: placing trees, shrubs, and other natural features for aesthetic purpose. At Gateway, our landscape architects support our clients’ projects not only with design, but with specific solutions for erosion control, environmental restoration plans, park and recreational facility design and large-scale urban planning.

Gateway's largest practice area in terms of project volume, municipal engineering is more than merely understanding and engineering municipal infrastructure. Gateway often serves as the appointed engineer for many of our municipal clients, providing ongoing counsel and review of new and restorative projects necessary for a community to properly function. Our direct work with many of western Pennsylvania’s municipalities also provides Gateway with a comprehensive knowledge of each of their regulations, codes, and limitations. This institutional knowledge is leveraged across much of our work, ensuring the solutions we provide to clients is compliant to the requirements of the respective communities in which it is performed.

Environmental engineering is, perhaps, Gateway’s most complex practice area because it involves multiple scientific applications ranging from chemistry and microbiology to hydraulics and hydrology. Applied primarily to water resources in the environment and wastewater control in municipal systems, our engineers provide solutions in one of the most geographically challenging areas to do so: our hometown of Pittsburgh. Constantly improving our abilities to provide value and solve the challenges that urban growth, climate change and changing regulations present, Gateway is uniquely suited to provide environmental engineering as part of our integrated solutions to our clients.
