Our In-House Design (IHD) directorate provides design and engineering services to meet operations needs in a manner consistent with BEDCs core values of safety schedule quality and customer service. IHD supports projects from the capital project initiation process through preliminary design design procurement construction and finally with the turnover to operations. IHDs Design Services division includes Architectural Site Civil Structural Process Mechanical/HVAC Water Tunnel Mechanical Systems and Electrical discipline sections. Each design section prepares design and construction documents including engineering plans and specifications for the construction of water supply sewer and wastewater treatment infrastructure. IHD projects are typically of the highest priority for the Agency. IHDs Engineering Services includes the Quality Assurance Laboratory Services Specifications/Standard Operating Procedures Sustainability and BIM/CADD sections. The Engineering Services division focuses on projects sustainability resiliency laboratory material testing quality reviews and inspections standardization of documents project delivery standards and uses current BIM/CADD technology to streamline engineering design processes.

IHDs Civil Section creates sustainable site and civil engineering designs for capital improvement projects that in conjunction with other engineering disciplines develop and shape DEPs public infrastructure. The Civil Section is responsible for the preparation of civil engineering documents involving the construction remodeling operation maintenance and repair of public infrastructure including plans and technical specifications for large and complex projects for water supply wastewater and miscellaneous facilities. Specific work areas include but are not necessarily limited to preparation of plans and specifications for site development work during and post construction including site grading and paving yard piping drainage and stormwater management erosion and sedimentation control and maintenance and protection of traffic.
