Although predominantly a Geotechnical and Materials Consulting Engineering firm, Palmerton & Parrish offers specialized services including both Civil Site Design and Stormwater facilities design on projects that complement their geotechnical activities.

Fred Palmerton served as Co-Chairman of the City of Springfield's Stormwater Committee during a time period when stormwater design ordinances were being formulated in the mid-1990s. Palmerton & Parrish has been identified as one of the southwest Missouri Engineering firms with sophisticated stormwater management capabilities. As an out-growth of the stormwater activities, the need to provide general civil site design to facilitate the siting of buildings and setting of adequate site grades in flood-prone areas has been a natural progression of project development.

Palmerton & Parrish does not seek Civil Site work projects on the open market, but rather, concentrates almost exclusively on projects which have a decided Geotechnical or Stormwater facility component. The firm is ideally suited for performing work in and around floodplains. Computer modeling capabilities include Corps of Engineers (HEC-1, HEC-2, HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS) and Haestad Methods (Pond Pack and StormCAD) software.
