Brown & Mitchell, Inc. (BMI), is a consulting engineering firm specializing in civil engineering and environmental consulting services for a wide range of clients along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  BMI has over 40 years of experience in the study and design of public and private water, sewer, and storm drainage projects; road and highway improvements; site development; and beach erosion/beach renourishment projects.  Additionally, BMI has provided engineering services for several new and existing wastewater treatment plants, ranging in size from 50,000 to 5,000,000 gallons per day (GPD), in all phases from design through construction and start-up.  The firm has been involved in the growth of the Mississippi Gulf Coast gaming industry from the beginning and is also involved in the design and construction of ancillary facilities, such as hotels, entertainment complexes, and parking garages for that industry.  BMI has provided the full spectrum of civil design services, from surveying and permitting through contract administration and construction observation, for several major casino developments on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, including Casino Magic Bay St. Louis, Casino Magic Biloxi, Grand Casino Gulfport, Grand Casino Biloxi, Imperial Palace, and The New Palace Casino.  These projects have involved not only the dockside casino facilities, but also parking lots and garages, hotels, entertainment complexes, marinas, and golf courses.

As a result of the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, BMI has continued to provide engineering services to the Cities and Counties directly affected by the storm to aid in the expeditious repairs and reconstruction of the infrastructure along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  We take pride in the fact that our services are assisting the citizens of the Gulf Coast in returning to a somewhat normal lifestyle.

BMI’s Drafting department consists of five CADD Operators, two of which are Senior CADD Operators with over 30 years experience each in drainage, water and sewer improvements, and site development.  They perform computer aided drafting using AutoDesk Civil 3D 2009 software on networked computer systems with over 250 gigabyte transfer retrieval systems and mon/color HP multi-media plotters.  Utilizing state of the art computer software and hardware, BMI's team of designers and CADD Operators have the ability to work together in order to maximize the use of available land area while maintaining as much as possible of the natural environment.  This integration of development with concern for the environment is a prime consideration and compatibility with the surroundings is essential.

Environmental services are provided by BMI Environmental Services, LLC (BMI/ES).  This company was formed in October, 2003 and employs former BMI environmental staff who have extensive experience and expertise in the areas of wetlands and regulatory permitting.  They are familiar with the often complex environmental issues associated with large projects and are very knowledgeable about the requirements of various Federal and State regulatory agencies.  The philosophy of BMI/ES is to work closely with the engineering staff of BMI and the clients to develop projects and solutions that are environmentally sustainable.
