Septic System Design
A septic system is a natural way to treat domestic wastewater. Onsite sewage treatment systems are used in areas where the county or municipality does not have centralized sewer services. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) estimates that 30% of Florida's population uses septic systems for wastewater disposal. It is critical that these systems are engineered and installed properly to protect your family, neighbors, and the environment. There are various types of septic systems, including conventional, performance-based, low-pressure dosed, and split systems. We choose the most suitable option for your specific project and handle all the permitting on your behalf.
Drainage Design
South Florida rains can quickly cause flooding. A well-designed drainage system can help keep your property dry and usable during heavy rainfall. Our professionals can diagnose drainage issues and provide effective solutions tailored to both residential and commercial properties.
In many areas, municipalities are now requiring drainage plans as a necessary step before single-family home construction. The stormwater design shown on these plans includes not only how stormwater will flow over the property but also storm drain design, storm drain slope, and the placement of storm structures, if needed. For commercial properties, more complex drainage systems are often necessary to handle larger volumes of stormwater and meet stricter regulatory requirements. These designs may include swales, dry or wet retention basins, detention ponds, and exfiltration systems. In both residential and commercial projects, the drainage engineer typically includes detailed drainage calculations to demonstrate compliance with the municipality's drainage criteria.
Site/Grading/Pavement design involves the preparation of plans and specifications for site layout, pavement, grading, drainage, utilities, and hardscaping features. Our site design services include collaborating with the site planner and preparing a permit-ready set of plans.
Water & Sanitary Sewer Design
Behind every successful development lies an invisible yet vital network: the water and sewer infrastructure. These underground systems form the backbone of your site's daily operations, silently managing the flow of clean water in and wastewater out. Each project brings unique demands, requiring carefully calculated system capacities and tailored design approaches. Our team handles the complete lifecycle – from analyzing your needs and engineering the perfect solution, through construction oversight, to final system certification. We ensure your utility infrastructure not only meets today's requirements but stands ready for tomorrow's demands.
The permitting process involves numerous steps before a permit is granted. It requires gathering detailed project information, completing applications for multiple agencies, including the City, County, South Florida Water Management District, FDEP, and FDOT, and managing submissions through each regulatory body. We ensure a smooth permitting process by staying in close contact with both our clients and the involved agencies.
