The Engineering Department

The Engineering Department consists of 3 engineers and a secretary and uses consultants on an as-needed basis. We are responsible for the design, review and inspection of construction of Village infrastructure projects and development projects. The Engineering Department is located in the west half of the Village Hall at 1200 Oak Brook Road ( 31st Street ) just east of Jorie Boulevard .

The Engineering Department coordinates with the Department of Community Development regarding site issues for most engineering permits . These items include grades and drainage, parking lots and driveway construction, erosion control, and other miscellaneous items. The Village's Public Works Construction Standards contain detailed information regarding standards for various construction issues. Section 8 of those standards contains General Instructions for Engineering Permits.

Village maps are maintained in the Engineering Department and are available for viewing. They can also be purchased at the Reception Desk in the Village Hall.

The Engineering Department works with other Village departments to generate a 10-Year Roadway Maintenance Plan which lists every Village-maintained street and the major maintenance activities planned for the next 10 years. This information is then placed within the Village's 5-Year Financial Plan and Annual Budget.

Most construction projects are either managed or coordinated in this department and include Village projects (such as paving, pavement crack sealing, pavement rejuvenation, drainage, bike/pedestrian ways, traffic signals, street lights, and water system improvements) and development projects (such as subdivisions). Projects of other agencies, such as DuPage County, the State or Tollway, are coordinated.
