Providing comprehensive civil engineering consulting services to the public and private sectors

Morales Engineering Associates facilitates the successful completion of projects by providing comprehensive civil engineering consulting services in the Greater Houston area. From initial site evaluation and cost assessments to inspections of completed facilities, we work on projects of all sizes and scopes. Our services cover planning all the way through to final construction.

Leveraging more than a decade of experience in engineering design and consulting, we offer services in the areas of:

To help you make informed business decisions, we provide input during the due diligence and acquisition process. Through a complete site assessment — which includes investigating utility service availability and identifying drainage and accessibility issues — we help you determine development risks. We’ll make project layouts to determine product yields and create conceptual utility and paving layouts along with conceptual construction cost estimates so you can evaluate costs and assess development benefits.
Seeing your project become a reality is one of the best parts of our job. When it comes to transforming undeveloped acreage, our team contributes knowledge of the entire development process to help your project get off the ground. Because of our familiarity with the design criteria in Houston and its surrounding municipalities, we can work with you to obtain the required development permits in the most efficient, cost-effective manner.

Our services include the design of water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, detention, grading and paving facilities. We can also help with the development platting process and provide floodplain management services, storm water runoff permitting and storm water quality management.

Utility districts continue to play a vital role in Houston’s economic and development success. We leverage our experience with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality regulations to help establish thriving district facilities. From bid documents to the public bidding process and liaising with other district consultants, we provide you with the support to ensure the successful establishment of utility districts. Our services include:

  • Bond application reports
  • Capital improvement plans
  • Creation reports
  • Infrastructure rehabilitation
  • Wastewater treatment plants
  • Water plants
We are committed to providing cost-effective designs that optimize the use of public funds so that municipal infrastructure developments can truly benefit the communities that they serve. Our experience includes the design and maintenance of water distribution systems, wastewater collection systems, storm sewer collection systems and roadways. We can also help you to design recreational facilities such as hike and bike trails or parks, and we assist with amenity improvements.
It’s crucial that your project is built according to plans and specifications. We provide that peace of mind through onsite project representation. Using our extensive experience working with Houston-area contractors, we inspect facilities during the construction phase. We also process contractors’ pay requests to ensure that your funds are being properly expended.

Once the project is complete, we’ll conduct a detailed walk-through where we create a list of needed repairs. We’ll also ensure those repairs are made. Any design changes made during construction will be captured in the drawings we’ll provide to you so you have an accurate record of the development.
