Our Process

How It Works

From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Weston.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

Why Weston Properties Need Commercial Storm Water Management

Commercial properties throughout Broward County — from the I-95 corridor office parks to the western retail centers — face stringent stormwater management requirements driven by the county's dense development and multiple drainage district oversight. Aging infrastructure in established commercial areas of Fort Lauderdale, Plantation, and Coral Springs frequently fails to meet current standards, creating compliance exposure. The county's Surface Water Management License requirement for projects over 1 acre adds a permitting layer not found in neighboring counties.

Broward County Regulatory Note Commercial stormwater projects in Broward County require coordination with both the county and the applicable local drainage district. SFWMD Environmental Resource Permits are required for projects affecting regional surface water systems. The county's Surface Water Management Code (Chapter 27, Article V) sets baseline standards that local drainage districts may supplement with additional criteria.

Local Factors in Weston

  • Municipal Code § 95.01 mandates perpetual maintenance of all stormwater facilities (lakes, canals, catch basins, pipes) to original design capacity — owners must repair within 30 days and pass flow rate re-testing
  • Westernmost Broward location directly adjacent to Everglades levees means Water Conservation Area levels influence local drainage capacity during high water events
  • Surface Water Management License required for commercial projects >= 1 acre
  • Multiple independent drainage districts with different technical standards
  • Dense development limits available space for surface retention systems
Local Drainage Conditions

Broward County Soil & Drainage Profile

Annual Rainfall 62"
Design Storm 9.2" (25yr)
Soil Types
Hallandale fine sandMargate fine sandLauderhill muck

Broward County's soils are predominantly poorly drained fine sands in the eastern half, with organic muck soils in the western conservation areas. The Hallandale series — a sandy soil with limestone bedrock within 20 inches of the surface — dominates much of developed Broward and severely restricts subsurface drainage options.

Broward County's unique regulatory framework involves multiple independent drainage districts — including the South Broward Drainage District, Central Broward Water Control District, and North Broward drainage infrastructure — each with different stormwater criteria. A project in Pembroke Pines may have different retention requirements than an identical project in Coral Springs, even though both are in Broward County.

Local Cost Factors for Commercial Storm Water Management in Weston

Shallow limestone bedrock requires drill-and-blast for subsurface pipe installation, adding 20-40% to excavation costs
Dense development limits equipment access and staging areas, increasing labor costs
Multiple drainage district jurisdictions require separate research to determine applicable criteria
High groundwater table requires dewatering during construction, adding pumping and permitting costs
