How It Works
From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Punta Gorda.
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.

Why Punta Gorda Properties Need Commercial Storm Water Management

Charlotte County Soil & Drainage Profile
Charlotte County soils are predominantly poorly drained flatwoods Spodosols with shallow seasonal water tables. Coastal areas feature sandy soils over shallow bedrock that restricts subsurface drainage, similar to Broward County's Hallandale series.
Hurricane Ian's devastation of Charlotte County — particularly Punta Gorda, which was also heavily damaged by Hurricane Charley in 2004 — has made hurricane-resilient drainage design the defining engineering challenge in the county. Properties in flood zones are being rebuilt with significantly higher elevation requirements, and drainage systems must manage the increased overland flow that results from raising building pads above base flood elevation.
