How It Works
From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Perdido Key.
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 Perdido Key Properties Need Commercial Storm Water Management
Commercial properties in the Pensacola area must manage stormwater under NWFWMD criteria — which differ from the SFWMD and SJRWMD standards used throughout most of Florida. The higher rainfall intensity and clay soils require larger stormwater management systems than equivalent projects in peninsular Florida.
Local Factors in Perdido Key
- NWFWMD criteria differ from peninsular Florida districts
- Higher rainfall intensity requires larger systems
- Clay soils prevent infiltration-based management
- Military base coordination for adjacent properties
Escambia County Soil & Drainage Profile
Escambia County's soils differ significantly from peninsular Florida — the Panhandle features Ultisols with clay-enriched subsoils that create a drainage profile more similar to the southeastern United States than to central or south Florida. Well-drained sandy uplands transition to poorly drained clay-bearing lowlands along river corridors.
Escambia County's 60-65 inches of annual rainfall is among the highest in Florida, and the clay-bearing subsoils prevent the rapid infiltration that South Florida's sandy soils provide. This combination creates some of the most challenging residential drainage conditions in the state — water accumulates on the surface faster than it can percolate through clay subsoils, requiring extensive French drain networks, graded swales, and positive-outfall pipe systems.
