How It Works
From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Tallahassee.
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 Tallahassee Properties Need Commercial Storm Water Management
Tallahassee's concentration of government buildings, university campuses, and institutional facilities creates commercial stormwater management demands for large-footprint impervious surfaces. These institutional projects typically have strict performance standards that exceed residential requirements.
Local Factors in Tallahassee
- Government and institutional facility requirements
- University campus stormwater management
- Rolling terrain — unique in Florida
- NWFWMD criteria differ from peninsular Florida
Leon County Soil & Drainage Profile
Leon County's soils are unlike most of Florida — the Red Hills region features well-drained Ultisols with red clay subsoils, while the coastal plain lowlands have poorly drained sandy soils. The rolling terrain and clay content create drainage conditions more similar to Georgia or Alabama than to peninsular Florida.
Leon County's rolling terrain — with hills rising 200+ feet above sea level — is virtually unique in Florida and creates drainage engineering opportunities that don't exist elsewhere in the state. Gravity-fed drainage systems that would require pumps in flat South Florida can work naturally here, but the trade-off is that concentrated runoff flowing downhill can create erosion and downstream flooding problems that flat-terrain engineers rarely encounter.
