How It Works
From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Melbourne.
Our engineers inspect your property's stormwater infrastructure, evaluate drainage performance, identify problem areas, and document existing system components. We photograph conditions and collect data needed for engineering analysis.
We obtain original permit documents, as-built drawings, and maintenance records from agencies and property files. This historical data reveals design intent, permitted capacities, and any modifications that may have occurred since construction.
Using field data and record documents, our Licensed Professional Engineers perform hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, design system improvements or new infrastructure, and prepare construction-ready drawings with detailed specifications.
We prepare and submit all required permit applications — including SFWMD ERPs, county building permits, and FDEP authorizations. Our team manages reviewer correspondence and resolves comments to keep approvals on track.
Local Requirements for Commercial Storm Water Management
Why Melbourne Properties Need Commercial Storm Water Management
Commercial properties in Brevard County face heightened stormwater treatment requirements driven by the Indian River Lagoon crisis. The lagoon's ecological decline — directly linked to untreated stormwater — means commercial permit applications face intensive water quality review.
Local Factors in Melbourne
- Lagoon protection drives water quality treatment requirements
- Canal system retrofit opportunities
- Space Center proximity affects drone surveys
- De-mucking requirements for lagoon sediment
Brevard County Soil & Drainage Profile
Brevard County features well-drained barrier island dune sands along the coast, poorly drained flatwoods Spodosols on the mainland, and organic wetland soils along the Indian River and St. Johns River floodplains. The narrow county width creates rapid east-west drainage gradients.
The Indian River Lagoon crisis is the dominant factor in Brevard County drainage engineering. The lagoon — which runs the entire 72-mile length of the county — has experienced catastrophic ecological decline directly linked to untreated stormwater runoff from residential canals and developments. Every drainage project in eastern Brevard now faces heightened scrutiny for water quality treatment, and engineers must design systems that not only manage flooding but actively remove nutrients before discharge reaches the lagoon.
