Civil

Our Civil/Survey Department has a passion for planning, design and construction services and works closely with municipalities, developers and state agencies to achieve feasible, dynamic solutions. Our civil engineers have paved the way for projects of every size, location and setting—from design and layout for roads, streets and highways, to subdivision development and utility work, to developing enjoyable parks in which to play and relax. DGR Engineering understands that our work creates so much more than infrastructure. The foundation we build together is the heart of a community.
