Engineering and DesignCardno JFNew has more than 20 years of experience applying ecological engineering principles to our client's projects. We create engineering and design solutions that capitalize on the services that natural resources provide. This approach allows us to implement projects that meet human needs and still maintain environmental benefits. Cardno JFNew develops customized ecological solutions and provides turnkey design-build services.

Our approach starts with understanding a client's vision for a site, the overall project objectives, and the desired outcomes. We then follow natural best management practices and apply our knowledge of how natural systems work to determine what can be achieved on a site.

We evaluate feasible alternatives and then design a specific plan that meets the project objectives within the client's time frame and budget. Our experience with construction of natural resource projects allows us to optimize engineering and design to move quickly into implementation. We also involve permitting authorities early in the process, to ensure the project will be in compliance and will not face unnecessary delays.

The Cardno JFNew design team provides a wide array of engineering and design services, such as:

Cardno JFNew provides design services relative to the construction and management of wetlands, lakes, streams, woodlands, and prairies.

Our projects result in aesthetically pleasing native landscapes that provide robust ecological solutions.
