Skylar Patton Joins ZAPATA

ZAPATA is pleased to announce civil engineer Skylar Patton has joined the firm.

Mrs. Patton will be responsible for civil site plans, project specifications, cost estimates, and civil design calculations; this includes design preparation for drainage, utilities, and roads for new/retrofit building and infrastructure construction.

At ZAPATA, Mrs. Patton will conduct site visits to document existing conditions; prepare civil site designs that incorporate standardized erosion control and stormwater management practices; review consultant-prepared design drawings and technical specifications; and perform engineering calculations for facility designs, cost-benefit analysis, and long-range planning.
