Retail Plaza Stormwater System
Project Overview
We provide full-scope stormwater management engineering for retail and commercial developments. Our designs address the unique demands of large impervious surfaces like parking lots and building footprints, which generate significant stormwater runoff during Florida's intense rainstorms. We engineer retention and detention systems that meet SFWMD Environmental Resource Permit standards, incorporating catch basins, underground pipe networks, and retention ponds sized for the required design storm events. Our commercial stormwater designs also account for water quality treatment to comply with NPDES requirements.
Challenges
- ! Large impervious surface area generating high runoff volumes
- ! SFWMD Environmental Resource Permit requirements for water quality treatment
- ! Coordinating drainage with existing municipal stormwater infrastructure
- ! Maintaining parking lot functionality during construction phases
Solutions
- > Comprehensive catch basin and pipe network for parking lot drainage
- > Retention pond system sized for 25-year/3-day storm event
- > Water quality treatment via swale and baffle systems
- > Phased construction plan minimizing disruption to retail operations
Results
- ✓ Zero flooding incidents in parking areas during design storm events
- ✓ Full SFWMD Environmental Resource Permit compliance
- ✓ NPDES water quality treatment standards met
- ✓ Permit approval achieved on first submission
