Civil Engineering for Utilities & Public Infrastructure
Comprehensive civil engineering consulting organized across four core disciplines — from utility planning and analysis to funding assistance and field construction oversight.
Utility Infrastructure Engineering
Resilient Design for Essential Community Systems
We engineer robust, ODEQ-compliant municipal and rural utility infrastructure — distribution, storage, pumping, and treatment — built for longevity, pressure stability, and reliable service.
Specific Engineering Capabilities
Water Distribution Design
Main sizing, layout, loop connections, pressure reducing valves, and hydraulic zoning to ensure consistent service and water quality throughout your network.
Water Storage Tanks
Ground-level and elevated composite or steel storage tank design, site evaluation, foundation coordination, and integration into existing pressure planes.
Pump Stations
High-service and booster pumping facilities featuring variable frequency drives (VFDs), mechanical piping layouts, emergency generator power, and telemetry.
Waterline Relocations for ODOT
Comprehensive utility coordination, conflict matrices, relocation plans, easement exhibits, and permitting for utilities impacted by Oklahoma highway expansions.
Waterline Installation Oversight
Resident engineering observation, trench safety verification, proper bedding, hydrostatic pressure testing supervision, and bacteriological compliance oversight.
Wastewater Treatment
Municipal wastewater collection, lift station improvements, and treatment process evaluations complying with Oklahoma discharge standards.
System-Wide Improvements
Turnkey engineering solutions addressing aging lines, lead service line replacements, valve replacement campaigns, and meter modernization programs.
Engineering Analysis & Planning
Data-Driven Modeling and Long-Term Master Planning
Before breaking ground, accurate computational modeling and engineering studies protect capital investments and identify the most practical, cost-effective solutions for your system.
Specific Engineering Capabilities
Hydraulic Modeling & Analysis
Digital twin simulations of pipe networks to pinpoint low-pressure nodes, calculate available fire flows, and verify fire hydrant ratings under peak load.
Water Loss and Leak Studies
Water audit accounting, non-revenue water (NRW) analysis, acoustic leak survey coordination, and financial recoupment planning for rural water systems.
Engineering Reports
Preliminary Engineering Reports (PER) adhering to USDA Rural Development, OWRB, and federal grant formats for utility modernization projects.
Capital Improvement Plans (CIP)
Multi-year phased infrastructure plans that align prioritized capital projects with annual municipal or district budgets.
Environmental Review
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation, environmental assessments, categorical exclusions, and historical resource coordination.
Community Infrastructure Planning
Strategic utility growth projections coordinated with local comprehensive land use plans, economic development zones, and annexation boundaries.
Project Development & Funding
Funding Assistance at Every Stage
You don't have to start at the beginning. Whether your project is still an idea, you're working to get it on a funding priority list, or an application is already in progress, LeBlanc Engineering can help you move forward. We provide guidance and technical support throughout the funding process to help communities move important infrastructure projects forward — without guaranteeing funding awards or priority-list placement.
Specific Engineering Capabilities
Project Development
Transforming initial community concepts into shovel-ready engineering plans eligible for competitive infrastructure funding.
Tribal Funding & Tribal Water Projects
Specialized engineering consulting aligned with Indian Health Service (IHS), tribal block grants, and inter-governmental utility partnerships in Oklahoma.
Funding Applications
Technical preparation for Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) State Revolving Fund (DWSRF/CWSRF), USDA-RD, and CDBG grant packages.
Priority-List Positioning
Guidance to help get your project onto appropriate funding consideration and priority lists, with the engineering reports and supporting documentation programs require.
State and Local Permitting
Thorough permitting packages prepared for the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ), local floodplains, and highway right-of-ways.
Bidding and Procurement
Preparation of sealed bid packages, contract books, prevailing wage schedules, contractor pre-qualification, and public bid opening administration.
Rural Water District (RWD) Consultation
Dedicated advisory for RWD boards regarding tariff reviews, capacity allocation, system interconnections, and regulatory compliance obligations.
Project & Construction Management
Your Project. Your Timeline. Our Commitment.
Deadlines matter. We approach each project with proactive scheduling, clear milestones, and consistent coordination to keep work moving and help deliver projects on time — with diligent oversight that holds construction true to the engineered plans.
Specific Engineering Capabilities
Project Management
Single-point engineering accountability coordinating surveyors, geotechnical engineers, utility owners, and regulatory inspectors — with proactive schedule and milestone tracking.
Engineering Consulting
Responsive technical advisory for city councils, utility authorities, and district boards facing complex infrastructure challenges.
Construction Observation
Full-time or periodic field inspection documenting daily contractor logs, material delivery verifications, depth-of-bury, and trench safety.
Contract Administration
Pay application processing, change order review, submittal review, certified payroll tracking, and final as-built record drawings.
