How It Works
From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Winter Park.
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 Winter Park Properties Need Commercial Storm Water Management
Orlando's commercial expansion — from International Drive tourism corridors to Lake Nona's medical city — generates massive stormwater management demands on karst terrain. The county's Enhanced Nutrient Removal standard exceeds state minimums, requiring sophisticated water quality treatment before stormwater can infiltrate to the Floridan Aquifer through the porous limestone substrate.
Local Factors in Winter Park
- Enhanced Nutrient Removal standard exceeds state minimum requirements
- Karst terrain creates sinkhole risk for retention ponds and stormwater infrastructure
- Dual water management district jurisdiction across the county
- High development density in Orlando metro limits available retention area
Orange County Soil & Drainage Profile
Orange County features a distinctive mix of well-drained sandy uplands (Entisols) and poorly drained flatwoods (Spodosols). The karst limestone underlying much of the county creates sinkholes and rapid subsurface drainage pathways, meaning surface water can disappear into underground conduits rather than flowing to conventional outfalls.
Orange County's karst geology is the defining feature of drainage engineering in the Orlando area. Sinkholes can develop beneath retention ponds, stormwater pipes, and building foundations, making geotechnical assessment a critical component of drainage design. Engineers must design systems that manage surface water without concentrating loads on potentially unstable subsurface features.
