How It Works
From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Doral.
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 Doral Properties Need Commercial Storm Water Management
Miami-Dade's commercial corridor — from the Brickell financial district through Doral's industrial parks to Homestead's distribution centers — generates massive impervious surface runoff that must be managed under some of Florida's most stringent stormwater regulations. The county's proximity to Biscayne Bay (an Outstanding Florida Water) means water quality treatment standards exceed those in most other jurisdictions. Aging commercial properties are frequently found to be out of compliance when assessed under current standards, creating both liability and opportunity.
Local Factors in Doral
- Rapid post-2003 commercial and warehouse development increasing impervious surfaces and runoff
- Flat western Miami-Dade terrain with limited natural drainage gradient
- Biscayne Bay Outstanding Florida Water designation imposes the highest water quality standards in the state
- County stormwater utility assessments fund public infrastructure but properties must manage their own retention
- Sea level rise adaptation requirements add long-term resilience engineering to commercial designs
Miami-Dade County Soil & Drainage Profile
Miami-Dade sits on the Miami Limestone formation — a porous oolitic limestone that allows rapid vertical drainage but also permits groundwater to rise equally fast during the wet season. Eastern coastal areas feature thin sandy soils over rock, while western agricultural areas near Homestead have rocky Krome soils with very shallow bedrock that impedes root growth and surface grading.
Miami-Dade County's Water Control Map is a unique regulatory tool that establishes minimum finished floor elevations, road crown elevations, and drainage criteria based on neighborhood-specific flood modeling. Every drainage design must reference the applicable Water Control Map panel to determine required retention volumes and minimum finished grades — a requirement not found in most other Florida counties.
