Calichi Design Group is licensed to serve Sacramento and the Central Valley with civil engineering, stormwater management, site planning, and water infrastructure design.

Sacramento’s Central Valley climate and soils present specific challenges—we design for intense winter storms, summer heat, and typically higher water tables than Bay Area sites.
Why Calichi for Sacramento Projects
Sacramento sits in the Central Valley with distinctly different hydrology than coastal California. Stormwater design must account for seasonal flooding, downstream constraints (proximity to the Sacramento River system), and the Sacramento County Stormwater Quality Partnership requirements. The region’s relatively flat terrain and clay soils influence grading and drainage design significantly.
The City of Sacramento and surrounding County are growing rapidly—new multifamily housing, office parks, and industrial sites require civil engineering that’s both economical and fully compliant with state and regional water quality standards. We’ve engineered projects in the Valley that required careful coordination with Sacramento County and regional water boards.
