2IM Group, LLC is a multi-disciplined civil engineering firm that began in February 2006. Our experience includes working on Illinois and Chicago Departments of Transportation, Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, county and municipal highway and roadway projects. Additionally, we have worked with Mouchel of the United Kingdom on various drainage projects. The project scopes include: Phase I studies; Phase II plans, specifications and engineer’s cost estimates; and Phase III construction engineering services. In addition to highway and roadway improvements, we have designed parking lots and related civil aspects for public and private site developments.
Although we have worked on all aspects of civil engineering projects, our focuses are hydraulic reports, drainage design, erosion & sediment control plans and construction inspection. By concentrating on these civil engineering fields, we can assess the drainage problems, design cost effective solutions and ensure the plans are constructed to the clients’ specifications. In addition to designing to current storm water standards, we seek to develop Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), which aim to improve storm water quality, reduce or delay storm water quantity and provide an environmental or public amenity on all our projects. Our staff has designed storm water quality improvement devices for highway projects and public parklands. Examples include a combination of bio-infiltration and wetland swales along Interstate 294 in Cook County, Illinois. We also have designed storm water attenuation systems to reduce flood impact on the receiving system. Currently, 2IM Group is in the process of writing the Erosion Control and Water Quality Field Guide for Construction Inspectors for Illinois Department of Transportation.
Our engineering staff consists of licensed Illinois Professional Engineers as well as proficient CADD Technicians. We are registered on the U.S. Central Contractors Registration database as a Small Business Enterprise for civil engineering design. We are pre-qualified with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) in Freeway and Roads & Streets Design, Hydraulic Reports (Typical), Location Drainage Studies, Reconstruction & Major Rehabilitation and Construction Inspection and with the Chicago Department of Transportation in Residential & Industrial Street Design, Roadway & Roadside Enhancements and Streetscape Designs. Additionally, 2IM Group, LLC is certified as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) under the Illinois Unified Certification Program, which includes IDOT, City of Chicago, Chicago Transit Authority, Metra and Pace. We are also registered with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago as a Protected Class Enterprise (PCE) and are a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) with the City of Chicago.
