How It Works
From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Venice.
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 Venice Properties Need Commercial Storm Water Management
Commercial properties in Sarasota County face watershed-level flooding challenges, particularly along the Phillippi Creek and Cow Pen Slough corridors. Ongoing population growth increases impervious surface that exacerbates existing flooding problems.
Local Factors in Venice
- Phillippi Creek watershed flood crisis
- Aging infrastructure assessment requirements
- Pump-assisted drainage often necessary
- Sarasota Bay water quality standards
Sarasota County Soil & Drainage Profile
Sarasota County features poorly drained Spodosols throughout most of the mainland, with the seasonal water table reaching the surface during the wet season. The flat terrain and restricted drainage outfall capacity create chronic flooding conditions that require engineered solutions.
The Phillippi Creek watershed is the epicenter of Sarasota County's drainage crisis. Decades of development along this low-gradient waterway, combined with sediment accumulation and neglected infrastructure, have created chronic flooding conditions that affect thousands of properties. Engineering solutions must address both the immediate flooding (pump stations, channel clearing) and the long-term capacity issues (detention volume, watershed-scale retention).
