Henrico Pierce Engineering
At Henrico Pierce Engineering, we build accessible pathways through complex permitting, design, and infrastructure challenges. By integrating advanced hydrologic modeling, CAD/BIM workflows, and structured electrical tools, we empower clients to design with confidence—one repeatable system at a time. Our commitment to clarity, equity, and innovation ensures every project reflects both technical rigor and community-minded purpose.
🌿 About Henrico Pierce Engineering
Henrico Pierce Engineering was founded with one goal: to simplify the complex world of stormwater and site design for the people it impacts most—homeowners, small developers, and local communities.
We specialize in geotechnical and stormwater solutions that are not only code-compliant, but also clear, cost-effective, and customized. Led by Managing Engineer Jessica Evans, our team brings a well-rounded experience in project management, CAD / technical drawing preparation, stormwater management, geotechnical, and sustainable site development.
Whether you're navigating a demolition permit or planning long-term drainage strategies, we translate engineering into everyday language that is backed by data, built with care.

Our Services
Residential Site Drainage Design
& Permitting Support
We provide foundational support for small commercial site drainage design, integrating hydrologic modeling, BMP strategies, and permitting documentation into repeatable workflows. Our templates and tools help clients meet local regulatory standards with confidence—whether working through new site development or retrofit drainage challenges.
Core Capabilities:
- Structured design templates for pre- and post-development runoff calculations
- Rational Method and SCS Curve Number workflows using PCSWMM and HydroCAD
- BMP sizing and treatment train recommendations tailored to local stormwater regulations
- GIS-informed drainage area delineation and catchment analysis
- SWMM-compatible base files for permitting and submittals
- Coordination language for use with engineers of record and municipal reviewers
Available through one-time packages or ongoing retainer plans. Custom dashboards and client portals optional.
Geotechnical Design & Coordination
We provide guidance for preliminary geotechnical planning, including bearing capacity evaluations, soil classification coordination, and reference to required certifications for concrete and foundation testing in Virginia. Through partnerships and permitting insight, we help clients anticipate subgrade performance and integrate foundational requirements early in the design process.
Deliverables may include:
- Foundation bearing capacity estimates based on soil type and structure class
- Coordination support with third-party labs for soil testing and compaction reports
- Integration of geotechnical input into CAD layouts and permitting submittals
- Recommendations for trench bedding, slab details, and drainage interfaces
CAD & BIM Drafting Support
We offer tailored drafting solutions using AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, and Chief Architect Premier to streamline documentation and integrate modeling into permitting workflows. Our services focus on clarity, code-awareness, and reusability, so clients receive more than just drawings; they get scalable systems designed for repeat use.
Capabilities Include:
- Floor plans, site layouts, and utility schematics
- Civil grading and drainage sheets compatible with SWMM workflows
- Revit electrical modeling for service sizing and load verification
- Exported CAD sets for submittals and contractor coordination
- Custom CAD standards and title block setup
- BIM family customization for small commercial projects
- Drafting workflows aligned with permitting and code references
Deliverables can be included in one-time packages or supported through our monthly retainer plans.
