Conceptual Site Design & Drafting

The development of residence and business locations in an area can bring economic growth, employment opportunities, much needed housing and pride to the communities that they serve. Our team would love to work with you to help your site development dreams become a reality.

The areas in which our team has experience are:

Conceptual and Preliminary Site Designs for Residential and Commercial Developments
Site Grading and Earthwork Calculations
Conceptual Utility Layout
Proposed Lot Layout
Survey Data Processing and Existing Site Conditions Mapping
Site Profiles and Sections
Sketchup Modeling
Qgis Modeling and Data Entry
Stormwater Calculations and Culvert Sizing
Erosion and Sediment Control DEP Permit Preparation
DOT access road and utility crossing permits
CADD Standard Consultation and Project Template Design
Preliminary Architectural and Structural Design and Modeling
- Floor plan layout, Exterior Building Elevations, Building Sections, Sketchup Modeling

Ridgewood Apartments Complex – South Hill, Virginia

This project involves the layout of a site design for four proposed multi-story apartment buildings and their adjoining parking lots. Multiple layout options and building renderings have been developed for use during rezoning proceedings with the goal of proceeding to preliminary design in 2025. The layout was designed using Autodesk Civil 3D. 3D renderings of the apartments were developed in Sketch up using only a basic floor plan provided by the client. Textures and landscaping features were also added to provide a more realistic feel. Feasibility considerations, such as site topography, stormwater retention, and local codes were considered during conceptual design.

Berry Hills Country Club Pool

This project in Charleston, WV is a collaboration between toXcel and Lawson Engineering and Technical Services. The existing pool has been leaking for some time. toXcel assisted with the site survey, and an existing conditions map including grids showing the approximate locations of existing structural members. This will be used for quantity takeoffs.

Flood Monitoring & Disaster Resilience

Climate resilience is critical to help communities withstand and recover from climate-related disasters like floods, hurricanes, wildfires, and heatwaves. Our team has helped State DOT’s to prepare for climate-related events and we would love to help you do the same on a local or nationwide level. The areas in which our team has experience are:

Climate Adaptation and Resilience Strategies
High Water Monitoring
Flood Evacuation Procedures and Equipment Recommendations
Federal, State and Local Grant Application Assistance
Contaminate investigation and abatement strategies (Fecal coliform, PFAS)
Stakeholder engagement to build community resilience to extreme weather
Qgis Modeling and Data Entry

High Water Monitoring System Pilot Project. Virginia, VDOT.

A variety of technologies including sensors, cameras, gates, communication devices, and power sources were considered for integration into a comprehensive high water monitoring system. These recommendations were made based on a nationwide review of state’s flood monitoring systems.

MOVER, PROTECT Grant Application. Virginia, VDOT.

Toxcel contributed to the development of a successful PROTECT grant application in the total amount of $6,781,380. This program will improve weather and traffic flow monitoring along Virginia’s evacuation routes using: flood monitors, road weather information systems, CCTV’s and automated traffic signal performance measures.
