We work with municipalities to resolve erosion issues and implement stormwater management solutions. GRANT WRITING SLOPE STABILIZATION & ROAD RESTORATION STREAMBANK EROSION CONTROL PROJECTS Streambank erosion poses a significant threat to both the environment and infrastructure. When left unchecked, it can lead to the loss of land and property, damage to roads and bridges, and negative impacts water quality. Soil eroded from streambanks can also contribute to sediment pollution in waterways which impairs the habitat for aquatic life. Addressing and resolving streambank erosion issues is of paramount importance. This is not only for the preservation and protection of our natural environment, which is essential for maintaining the planet’s biodiversity and ecological balance, but also for safeguarding our built environment, which includes our homes, roadways, and other infrastructure. At McMillen Engineering, we work with townships, municipalities, and counties to address streambank stabilization and road restoration to ensure a safe and healthier environment for our communities. RIVER ROAD SLOPE STABILIZATION McMillen Engineering worked with Perry Township on the stabilization of a failing gabion wall and road slope along River Road.

McMillen Engineering established a design for a 115 feet tall water storage tank for the NPWA, providing civil engineering design and permit acquisition. CIVIL ENGINEERING NATIONAL PIKE WATER AUTHORITY CIVIL ENGINEERING AND PERMIT ACQUISITION McMillen Engineering worked with the National Pike Water Authority (NPWA) to provide water line in Henry Clay, Stewart and Wharton Townships and throughout Markleysburg Borough. While providing civil engineering design and preparing all required permits for the entire project, McMillen Engineering also worked in partnership with the NPWA, the municipalities, and the residents and business owners in the service area. Project scope for the National Water Pike Authority: Civil engineering Design Permit Preparation for the Entire Project Collaboration with NPWA, Municipalities, and Local Stakeholders Design of the Water Storage Tank Securing Funding PROJECT OVERVIEW When the National Pike Water Authority recognized the need to increase water supply for multiple residents throughout the four municipalities which it serves, they contacted McMillen Engineering to request a proposal for a solution. After conducting an assessment of the NPWA's needs and defining structural capabilities, McMillen Engineering established a design for a 115 feet tall, above-ground water storage tank with capacity for expansion of the system. The tank was constructed utilizing a distinct process which allowed it to be built from the ground upward without the necessity of a crane. This process permitted assembly workers to remain on the ground throughout the construction process and also allowed construction to continue through varying weather conditions. McMillen Engineering also helped to secure federal, state and local funding for the project. PROJECT PHOTOS LEARN MORE & GET IN TOUCH REVIEW OUR PROJECTS EXPLORE SERVICES COMPLETE INQUIRY FORM

Find clear, professional answers to the most frequently asked questions about land surveying from McMillen Engineering, Inc. Learn what to expect, how surveys are conducted, and why accuracy matters. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SURVEYING McMillen Engineering, Inc. is located in Uniontown, PA and provides commercial and residential land surveying throughout Pennsylvania. Learn more on our Land Surveying page at https://www.mcmilleng.com/land-surveying . If you don’t find the information you’re looking for here, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’ll be happy to assist you. I am building a new home; do I have to address stormwater? Stormwater needs to be addressed for all types of developments, however, often the required system can be quite simple and still meet the stormwater requirements. If you call McMillen Engineering, Inc. we can assist you on the stormwater management system that best meets your needs. How much will my survey cost? Each property survey is different, affected by the unique nature of your property. Is the land wooded or open? How large is the property? How many corners will need to be marked? Is your need for a simple lot survey, or is the more extensive ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey survey more appropriate to your goals? Once we understand the scope and purpose of your survey, we will provide guidance regarding the most appropriate land survey type and provide a firm price quote. How long will my property survey take? Small residential surveys are usually completed within 1 to 2 weeks. Larger, commercial surveys may take from 30 to 60 days, depending on the needs of the survey. We are willing to consider expediting land surveys needed on a priority or "emergency" basis. How definitive are your surveys? At McMillen Engineering, Inc., we consider our land surveys very authoritative. Owner and President Terry McMillen, Jr. is experienced in Boundary Law and has successfully defended our survey results in a courtroom setting. Are there different types of land surveys? There are many different types of land surveys , from simple residential lot surveys to large acreage woodland surveys. The Cadillac of surveys is referred to as the ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey, which considers many detailed factors, including utility access to the property. Knowing the purpose for which a land survey is undertaken helps us determine the appropriate extent and cost of your survey. How do you perform a property survey? McMillen Engineering, Inc. prides itself on exceedingly thorough surveys. Depending on survey needs, our efforts include, but are not necessarily limited to: Finding existing neighborhood and surrounding area marker points. Researching courthouse records and other existing boundary records. Utilizing the latest GPS system (Global Positioning) results. Accessing US Geological Survey topographical maps and orthometric aerial photographs. Computer research using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and C&G software. Are GPS system surveys accurate? There has never been a more accurate way to perform a land survey than GPS (Global Positioning System). Measurements with GPS are accurate to within 1/16th of an inch. Are you licensed? Yes. It is illegal to perform survey work in Pennsylvania without a license. Can you survey in winter? Yes. The ideal time to conduct a land survey is when the leaves are down, as this improves visibility and allows our surveying equipment—including GPS systems—to operate more effectively. However, significant snowfall and extreme cold, particularly below-zero wind chills, can hinder our ability to achieve the high level of accuracy we require. Is courthouse research always necessary? You may wonder, “I have my deed—why is courthouse research necessary?” The answer lies in the nature of land surveying, which is much like assembling a puzzle. Your property represents just one piece, and the surrounding parcels complete the picture. To ensure your piece fits accurately within the broader context of the neighborhood, we must examine adjacent properties and historical records. This is especially important for larger tracts of land or properties not included in a recorded lot plan, where resolving discrepancies often requires in-depth research into previous deeds and property records. Where do you find the starting point? A common misconception in land surveying is the belief that there are universal starting points used by all surveyors to conduct accurate surveys. In reality, most land surveys do not begin from a single known reference point. Instead, during the surveying process, we identify and locate various physical markers throughout the area—such as iron pins, monuments, wooden stakes, and concrete markers. These markers are then analyzed using specialized software and cross-referenced with neighborhood deeds to develop a solution that aligns as accurately as possible with the greatest number of reliable reference points. Are you insured? Yes, however, your strongest assurance lies in the thoroughness of our work and our commitment to integrity. We take every precaution to minimize the possibility of errors and deliver land survey results that meet the highest professional standards—results we are fully prepared to stand by, including in a court of law, if necessary. Do I have to be there? In 99% of cases, property surveys are completed with customer communication handled entirely by phone, and your presence on-site is not required during the survey. Backed by a reputation for exceptional customer service, we strive to make the surveying process as seamless and stress-free as possible. From providing a clear, firm quote to delivering your final report, McMillen Engineering, Inc. Is committed to treating every client with the professionalism, respect, and attention they deserve. 40 Years of Experience Choose a land surveyor with more than 40 years of experience, a strong foundation in records research, and a proven reputation for effectively utilizing the latest technologies.

From the playground development, construction plans, land surveying, and grant writing - McMillen provided services for the full project. LAND SURVEYING INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND IN GERMAN TOWNSHIP INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND NEAR YOU The German Township Board of Commissioners realized the need for their residents to not only have a children’s playground, but to have one that is inclusive for all children. Playgrounds offer various ways of developmental growth for children—not only physically, but socially, emotionally, and cognitively as well. The German Township Supervisors recognized the importance of providing their community with a recreational facility where children could play and develop in a safe environment. The design phase began with a focus on accessibility, and that focus remained throughout the development of the project. McMillen Engineering, Inc. secured funding for the project, completed construction plans, surveyed the property, and designed the park to include ramp accessibility between multiple swing sets and sliding boards, musical instruments, and even a rock-climbing wall.

As part of the grant-seeking process , we prepared and administered the grant for the park on behalf of German Township. We worked with our state legislators to be sure they were aware of the application, coordinated efforts with the funding agency to request a change in scope after the grant was awarded, and worked through the requirements to ensure compliance with the grant funding agency. After the surveyors at McMillen Engineering, Inc. performed a topographic survey of the property, our engineering team designed stormwater and erosion control facilities to protect downstream properties from erosion and stormwater runoff. Our Landscape Architect prepared a layout plan for the park including age-appropriate playground equipment with the proper isolation distances, safety services, security fencing, and parking facilities.
