Utility design
Water, sewer, storm, duct bank, and franchise relocations. Plans, profiles, details, and conflict tables an owner or city can review. Built for roadway, site, and campus work where the utilities are the critical path.
From $4,500Houston · Design first
Utility, data center, and gas design that can be built.
AVA Engineering is a design practice. We draw the utilities, the campus, and the gas — including fuel gas for data centers — then seal the set. Coordination and field support follow the drawings. They do not replace them.
Utility design
Data center design
Gas for data centers
Gas distribution design
Campus design, not a brochure.
Power, gas, water, and yard layout on one sealed set.
Core design
Four design lines. Everything else on this site supports these drawings.
Data center design
Site civil, yard layout, cooling-plant pads, primary electrical service alignment, and utility corridors for a hall or a campus. We design the bones the building sits on — not the server rows.
From $18,000
Gas design for data centers
Fuel-gas laterals, meter-set layouts, generator headers, and campus distribution to backup generation. Sized for the load, coordinated with the electric service, and drawn so the gas company can review it.
From $8,500
Gas design, overall
Distribution mains, service laterals, regulator stations, and commercial or industrial feeds outside a data center. Alignment, class location notes, details, and permit drawings for the operator or the city.
From $6,500Also on the drawings
Support that stays tied to the design. Not a construction-management menu.
Design review and seal
Independent check of another firm’s utility or gas set, then a seal when it meets the standard.
Utility conflict design
Relocation alignments and details where a roadway or campus hits existing lines.
Meter and regulator layouts
Station piping, pads, and clearances for gas company review.
Duct bank and vault design
Power and fiber corridors into a data hall or substation yard.
Permit sets
City, county, and operator packages with notes, details, and calculations.
Record drawings
Redlines turned into a clean as-built of the designed utilities.
Starting prices
Standard design scopes. Incomplete surveys, extra sheets, and rush work are quoted after we see the files.
