d’Escoto, Inc. is providing drainage engineering services in the IDOT District One Headquarters for various work orders. The primary role is to assist IDOT with the review of various drainage submittals. A full review is done by d’Escoto when a private development connects to an IDOT drainage system. The review consists of ensuring the IDOT Drainage Connection Checklist was followed and properly completed, in addition to checking drawings and calculations to ensure accuracy. Comments and coordination are provided to the submitting firm. In addition, d’Escoto Inc. is providing drainage reviews for the High-Speed Railroad from Chicago to St. Louis. Anytime work is being done on an IDOT road, the drainage is reviewed to confirm that is correct and in accordance with IDOT’s overall drainage system and goals. d’Escoto, Inc. also helps with any minor Drainage Investigations or Phase I work that needs to be completed.
