Civil Engineering Services
Osborn Consulting’s collaborative team of engaged professional engineers provide civil engineering services including project management, planning, alternative analysis, design, plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E), and construction support. We focus on service areas including stormwater management, transportation drainage, fish passage and habitat restoration, green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) and low impact development (LID), research and effectiveness studies, environmental compliance, and utilities planning and design.
Our team is experienced providing these services on conceptual planning-level feasibility studies, traditional design-bid-build projects, as well as design-build projects.

Aimee has over 27 years of experience focused on stormwater drainage in Washington, including expertise in design, research, planning, policy development, and technical training. She has been the principal investigator and project manager on Stormwater Effectiveness Studies for structural, operational, and educational BMPs, which included the development of the Washington State Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs) Templates. Aimee authored the WSDOT Hydraulics Manual as well as the Highway Runoff Manual and has extensive experience working collaboratively on projects with multiple stakeholders. She has served as a project manager and design lead on projects such as urban drainage systems; pump stations; stormwater retrofits, low impact development practices, and BMPs; culverts; and fish passage improvements. She has conducted hydrology and hydraulic modeling, developed stormwater comprehensive plans, construction documents (plans, estimates, and specifications), and developed curriculum for professional and undergraduate courses. Aimee has also successfully negotiated NPDES permit conditions and stormwater policy changes with the Washington Department of Ecology and developed grants that resulted in funding stormwater retrofit projects.
