🌟 Meet the Team: Aden Parker 🌟
We're excited to spotlight Aden Parker, who joined the Civil Design team in January 2026 as a Civil Engineering Intern!
Aden is a 2025 graduate of South Dakota State University and works alongside our engineering staff to support a variety of civil engineering projects. Since joining the team, Aden has been gaining hands-on experience in site design, engineering calculations, CAD drafting, field work, and project support. From municipal infrastructure improvements to site development projects, Aden is building a strong foundation for a future in engineering while helping move projects from concept to completion.
Engineering was a natural fit for Aden. Growing up around construction sparked an early interest in the field, and that interest eventually led him to pursue a degree in civil engineering. When asked about his favorite projects so far, Aden pointed to the S&W Construction and Fox Run developments, noting that the unique design challenges and problem-solving opportunities made them especially rewarding to work on.
Outside of the office, Aden enjoys working on vehicles and tackling hands-on projects in the garage. One of the coolest vehicles he's worked on is a 1966 Chevelle. He also enjoys hunting, shooting pool, rock climbing, and spending time with family and friends.
Here's a fun fact about Aden: his last family reunion had more than 1,000 people in attendance! Talk about a big family gathering!
We're excited to have Aden on the team and look forward to seeing his continued growth and success in the engineering profession.
We're excited to have him on the team and look forward to seeing where his engineering career takes him.🚧📐⚙️🛠️🔧

Project Spotlight: SDSU ARPA Watermain Improvements 💧🐰

Civil Design Inc. was proud to provide surveying, design, and construction administration services for the ARPA Watermain Improvements project at South Dakota State University.

This multi-phase project included new watermain connections and service upgrades across campus, improving system reliability, strengthening fire protection capabilities, and replacing aging underground infrastructure. Key improvements included completing a critical watermain loop, providing new water services to residence halls, and enhancing water distribution for the Animal Science Complex and Arena.

From survey and design through construction observation and coordination, our team worked closely with SDSU and project partners to help deliver infrastructure improvements that will support the campus for years to come.

The completed project enhances the resiliency of SDSU's water system, expands fire protection coverage, and provides a stronger foundation for future campus growth.

**PROJECT SPOTLIGHT**

We're proud to be helping keep South Dakota moving forward through one of the largest rail infrastructure improvement projects in the region.

Civil Design Inc. is serving as the engineer of record and handles all construction administration services and contract management for the rehabilitation of the 163-mile Rapid City, Pierre & Eastern Railroad (RCPE) corridor between Fort Pierre and Rapid City. This transformative $84 million project is focused on improving rail reliability, increasing freight capacity, and enhancing long-term operational efficiency across western South Dakota.

The project includes replacing nearly 88 miles of rail, installing approximately 80,000 new crossties, upgrading 121 bridge structures, restoring 121 rail crossings, replacing mainline turnouts, and resurfacing and realigning track to support modern freight demands.

As part of this effort, CDI has provided preliminary surveying, bridge inspections, project design, and ongoing contract management. Our team is also leading bid procurement, construction administration, grant management, and coordination with the South Dakota Department of Transportation and the Federal Railroad Administration.

Funded in part through a Federal RAISE Grant, this project represents a significant investment in the future of South Dakota's transportation infrastructure and economic growth. As construction activities move toward completion, the project is poised to deliver lasting benefits for industries, communities, and rail users across the state while strengthening a critical freight corridor for decades to come. We are honored to play a key role in delivering improvements that will benefit industries, communities, and rail users across the state for decades to come.

🏌️‍ What a day on the course!

On Thursday, August 13, we hosted the 18th Annual CDI/D&I Railroad Golf Outing at the Brookings Country Club, and we couldn't have asked for a better event. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us and helped make the day a success!

Because of your generosity, we raised over $6,700 for charity donating $3,390.00 to Feeding Brookings and $3,390.00 to the Brookings County Food Pantry – Brookings, SD. 👏❤️

Congratulations to this year's champions for taking home the coveted hardware and earning ultimate bragging rights! 🏆

Thank you to all the golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters who made the outing such a great time. We can't wait to do it again next year!

As another summer comes to a close, we'd like to extend a sincere thank you to our interns for all of their hard work, enthusiasm, and contributions to Civil Design Inc.

Throughout the summer, our interns gained hands-on experience by working alongside our engineers, surveyors, technicians, and support staff on a variety of projects across the region. Their willingness to learn, ask questions, and take on new challenges made them valuable members of our team.

At CDI, we believe investing in the next generation of engineering professionals is important, and it has been a pleasure watching these students grow their skills and gain real-world experience in the civil engineering industry.

Thank you for a great summer. We wish each of you the best as you return to school and continue pursuing your goals. We look forward to seeing all the great things you'll accomplish in the future!

🎉 Exciting week for Brookings as Target officially opens their doors at Brookings Marketplace!

Civil Design Inc. is proud to have provided the engineering and surveying services that helped bring this development from concept to reality. Working with Ryan A+E and the City of Brookings, our team was responsible for performing the topographic and boundary survey for the site, for replatting the property, and for the design of the site including street and parking lot design, utility and grading design, hydraulic modeling, and stormwater detention pond design for the new retail center.

The project included extensive site improvements such as grading, water and sanitary sewer infrastructure, storm sewer systems, asphalt and concrete paving, sidewalks, curb and gutter installation, and erosion control measures. The development also features stormwater detention ponds designed to manage increased runoff and support long-term sustainability of the site.

Brookings Marketplace was designed to accommodate approximately 148,000 square feet of retail space, along with parking, roadway access, and future expansion opportunities. Final design was completed in 2025, with construction beginning shortly thereafter.

We're honored to have played a role in a project that will serve the Brookings community for years to come and help support continued growth in our region. Congratulations to everyone involved in making Brookings Marketplace a reality, and welcome to Target and ALDI!

BX Civil & Construction is doing a fantastic job on this cast-in-place box culvert project for the Minnehaha County Highway Department! The previous aging structure required replacement due to weight restrictions and restricted wide agricultural equipment. We are happy to partner with Minnehaha County & BX Civil & Construction on this project. Looking forward to having the road re-opened soon!

CDI performed all engineering aspects of the project including topographic survey, hydraulic analysis, structure replacement and approach grading design, plan development, permitting, bidding, and Construction Administration services.
