"Engineering Solutions For Your Future"
Newsome Civil Engineering, LLC specializes in personalized
professional civil engineering services in the following areas of expertise:
Stormwater
Analysis and Design
One of the challenges facing communities everywhere is the significant increases in stormwater flows in their creeks, rivers, lakes, and stormwater conveyance systems. Managing these increased flows due to urbanization is a big challenge that faces them. Having dealt with these problems of stormwater management since the early 1980's by developing successful methodologies and systems, these communities were able to work with us and solve their specific stormwater challenges.
Although stormwater ordinances controlling the discharge of stormwater from urban developments have been around for a number of years, these ordinances, while moderately effective, are only one component of many that comprise an effective stormwater management program.
An effective program contains all of the components necessary to manage stormwater flows and quality to mitigate known stormwater issues. It also incorporates effective Stormwater Best Management Practices to alleviate future issues with stormwater quality and quantity. Newsome Civil Engineering, LLC stands ready to engineer a plan to solve your community's stormwater issues.

Site Development Engineering
Real estate prices have skyrocketed over the years making it vital that commercial, residential, and industrial developments are optimized to utilize space efficiently, while preserving to the extent possible, important material features of each site. Engineers at Newsome Civil Engineering, LLC have been involved in small- and large-scale development projects since 1984.
​
N.C.E. will provide conception to completion site development planning, engineering, permitting, construction related services, and post construction closeout for your development. We understand the project approval processes at the local, state and federal levels for your projects. Our focus is to provide consultation regarding the best approach to shorten the development of your project whether it be residential (including multi-family), commercial (including large shopping centers and office complexes), and industrial site development.
Site preparation for National Steel Car $350 million rail car plant. In the words of
Governor Bob Riley it is a "mega project" for Alabama. This project entailed moving 1.3 million cubic yards of earth. The completed plant exceeds 2.1 million square feet, nearly
a mile long, and three football fields wide.
Working hand in hand with our clients, Newsome Civil Engineering, LLC achieves the vision for their projects. Our goal is to successfully deliver a project that everyone feels meets their objectives, including the project developer, the regulatory agencies, and contractor(s).
Roadway Engineering and Design
The modern roundabout on South Pinetree Blvd, Thomasville GA
This design replaced a dangerous four-way stop intersection successfully improving traffic flow and safety.
Transportation needs continue to stress the financial capacity for federal, state and local governments. For the past 20 +/- years there has been a desire to incorporate multi-modal components into many transportation projects. Newsome Civil Engineering, LLC brings together over 35 years of experience in projects ranging from local residential streets, collectors, major arterials, major and minor intersections, and interstate. Our engineering experience also includes many streetscape and non-motorized transportation projects including pedestrian and bike trails.
The foreseeable future will hold growing transportation needs while budgets to meet those needs may continue to shrink. N.C.E. has expertise in conducting roadway condition surveys, and prioritizing projects to accommodate budget shortfalls.
​
Drainage analysis and design is a critical component of every transportation project. We are capable of conducting drainage studies and plan development for urban, rural, and interstate highways. N.C.E can provide detailed storm sewer analysis and design, including hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, and Bridge Hydraulic Reports for bridges and major culvert crossings.
​
You can count on Newsome Civil Engineering, LLC for the knowledge and experience needed to assist you in meeting your transportation project needs.
Water Distribution
System Design
Water supply to meet growing potable and fire water protection demand continues to increase for municipalities throughout the nation. Water distribution networks in many communities are aging and undersized to meet current demands. Newsome Civil Engineering, LLC has the ability to model water supply networks, and determine where system upgrades are warranted, and identify cost effective solutions to meet pressure and flow demands in water supply networks, including online pump stations and water towers.
​
These systems are designed with material choices and appurtenances that maximize efficiency and minimize long-term maintenance on the system. Valve placement for accessibility for ease of maintenance are considered on every project.
​
Sewer Collection
System Design
Newsome Civil Engineering, LLC has experience modeling collection systems and can identify where upgrades and preventative measures are warranted. Expansion of the collection system due to increased urban sprawl requires even more demand on the lift stations and sewer treatment facilities. N.C.E. can provide consultation regarding the most cost-effective means to accomplish expansion of the system and minimize the number of lift stations in a system, as lift stations are the most costly and maintenance intensive component of sewer collection systems.
Municipal separate sanitary sewer systems are aging in most communities with inadequate funding to keep pace with systems that are failing. Sewer spills constitute a major financial and environmental hit, and infrastructure conditions that result in these spills must be proactively addressed before the spill occurs.
Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) are the prime contributors to systems getting overwhelmed. Of particular concern are sewer lift stations, which can shut down during these heavy I & I events, resulting in costly cleanup and expensive restoration of the sewer lift station sites.
