LOWER MERION, PA
Padula Engineering's Commercial Land Development- Lower Merion Township
Commercial land development involves the planning and execution of construction projects for businesses in Lower Merion Township and surrounding areas in Pennsylvania. At Padula Engineering LLC, we specialize in providing top-quality land surveying services for residential and commercial land development projects, ensuring that our clients are satisfied with the results. Commercial land development often involves the subdivision of a larger piece of land into smaller lots suitable for commercial use. This process typically involves working with local government agencies to obtain permits and approvals for the subdivision. Our team of professional surveyors and engineers work closely with business owners, municipalities, and commissioners to ensure that each project is completed on time and meets the necessary standards for stormwater management and other regulations.
Commercial Land Development Process:
Site Analysis and Evaluation
The first step in commercial land development is to conduct a site analysis and evaluation. This includes assessing the site’s topography, soil conditions, hydrology, and vegetation.
Design Concept
After analyzing the site, the next step is to develop a design concept for the commercial development. This includes creating a site plan that includes the location of buildings, parking lots, and access roads.
Land Use Approvals
Once the design concept is finalized, the next step is to obtain land use approvals from the relevant authorities. This includes zoning permits, land development approvals, and environmental permits.
Engineering Design
After obtaining the necessary land use approvals, the engineering design process begins. This includes the design of the site’s infrastructure, such as stormwater management systems, utility connections, and roadway design.
Construction Documents
The construction documents are then prepared, including detailed drawings and specifications for the commercial development.
Bidding and Construction
Once the construction documents are complete, the project is put out to bid, and a construction company is selected for the service. The construction phase then begins, including site preparation, earthwork, infrastructure installation, and building construction.

Construction Land Surveying Process
1. Research
The first step in construction land surveying is to conduct research on the property, including a review of any existing survey records, property deeds, and legal descriptions.
2. Boundary Survey
The next step is to conduct a boundary survey of the property to determine its exact location and size. This includes locating existing property lines and marking new ones if necessary.
3. Topographic Survey
After the boundary survey is complete, a topographic survey is conducted to determine the elevations and contours of the property. This information is then used to design the site’s infrastructure, such as grading, drainage, and utilities.
4. Construction Layout
Once the design is complete, the surveyor marks the site with stakes or other markers to show the location of buildings, roads, and other infrastructure.
5. As-Built Survey
After construction is complete, the surveyor conducts an as-built survey to confirm that the project was built according to the design. Any changes or deviations from the design are noted on the survey.

Stormwater Management in Lower Merion via Permeable Pavements
Permeable Pavement Installation Process
1. Site Preparation
The first step in installing permeable pavement is to prepare the site. This includes removing any existing pavement, grading the site, and ensuring proper drainage.
2. Aggregate Base
Next, an aggregate base is installed, which provides a stable foundation for the permeable pavement.
3. Permeable Pavers
The permeable pavers are then installed, either by hand or using machinery. The pavers are typically made from concrete or stone and are designed to allow water to filter through the joints between the pavers.
4. Joint Filling
Once the pavers are installed, the joints between them are filled with a permeable material, such as sand or crushed stone. This allows water to filter through the pavement and into the aggregate base.
5. Inspection and Maintenance
After installation is complete, the permeable pavement is inspected to ensure that it is functioning properly. Regular maintenance, such as removing debris and keeping the joints filled, is necessary to ensure that the pavement remains permeable over time.
