So what’s the difference between civil engineering and land development design?

I guess the best way to differentiate these two topics:

  • Civil engineering is a subset of the entire engineering profession, such as electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, aerospace engineering, etc.
  • Where land development design is a subset of civil engineering, such as geotechnical, environmental, water resources, etc.

A good overview of the tasks involved in civil engineering land development design is described in the City of Knoxville Engineering Department’s Land Development Manual here: http://www.cityofknoxville.org/engineering/ldmanual/KnoxvilleLDM.pdf

LandTech offers land development design services for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Land development designs will typically include topographic / property boundary land surveys and mapping, erosion and sediment control, site layout planning and design, roadway plan and profiles, grading plans, stormwater management, domestic water and sanitary sewer utilities, Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) and associated permits, and layout for construction.
