How It Works
From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Riverview.
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 Riverview Properties Need Commercial Storm Water Management
Tampa's commercial corridors — from the Westshore business district to the South Tampa retail area — face chronic flooding driven by the county's bowl topography, clay soils, and rising sea levels that reduce drainage outfall effectiveness. Commercial properties need robust stormwater systems that account for both high-intensity rainfall and reduced gravity drainage capacity.
Local Factors in Riverview
- Bowl topography concentrates flood risk
- Clay soils prevent infiltration
- Rising sea levels reduce outfall capacity
- Stormwater utility fee provides public infrastructure funding
Hillsborough County Soil & Drainage Profile
Hillsborough County's soils include poorly drained Spodosols in low-lying areas, with some areas featuring clay layers (Alfisols) at 24-48 inches depth that create perched water tables. The clay restricts deep percolation and increases surface runoff compared to purely sandy soil counties.
Hillsborough County's bowl-shaped topography directs stormwater from all directions toward Tampa Bay and the Hillsborough River, concentrating flood risk in low-lying neighborhoods like South Howard, Bayshore, and Palmetto Beach. The county has invested over $100 million in the South Howard Flood Relief project — demonstrating the scale of drainage infrastructure needed when decades of development overwhelm natural conveyance capacity.
