How It Works
From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Tradition.
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 Tradition Properties Need Commercial Storm Water Management
The commercial corridor along US-1 and I-95 in St. Lucie County serves one of Florida's fastest-growing residential populations, driving retail and service development that must meet modern stormwater standards. Older commercial properties in Fort Pierce built before current regulations need assessment and often require upgrades to meet current SFWMD criteria.
Local Factors in Tradition
- Rapid population growth driving commercial development demand along major corridors
- Older Fort Pierce commercial areas may have legacy drainage systems below current standards
- Master-planned community commercial parcels require coordinated drainage design
- SFWMD criteria for commercial retention and water quality treatment
St. Lucie County Soil & Drainage Profile
St. Lucie County soils are predominantly poorly drained Spodosols (flatwoods soils) with a cemented organic hardpan that limits deep percolation. The county's rapid development on these historically agricultural soils requires careful stormwater engineering to prevent flooding.
St. Lucie County's explosive growth — Port St. Lucie grew from a small community to over 217,000 residents — has transformed thousands of acres of agricultural land into residential subdivisions. This land use change dramatically alters surface water runoff patterns, increasing both the volume and velocity of stormwater flow. Every new development requires engineered stormwater systems that match pre-development discharge rates.
