RSP Engineers, a leading civil engineering firm in Florida, recently completed the site design and permitting for a new industrial storage development in Manatee County. The project included comprehensive stormwater plans, site investigation, drainage analysis, and infrastructure coordination — all essential for successful development in Florida’s regulatory environment.

Civil Site Engineering for Industrial Storage Facility in Lake County, FL

This Manatee County project involved the development of an industrial storage facility requiring full-service civil engineering support. From initial due diligence to design and permitting, RSP Engineers delivered site-specific solutions in compliance with Florida building codes and Manatee County Development Review Committee (DRC) requirements.

Civil Engineering Services Provided

Our engineering team provided a full scope of services, including:

Topographic site investigation and land development feasibility
Stormwater modeling and pond sizing
Flood zone analysis and FEMA compliance
Finish floor elevation determination
Utility layout and sewer pump station calculations

These services were essential for ensuring proper site drainage and flood resilience — a critical consideration in Manatee County civil engineering projects.

Stormwater Management and Drainage Plans

As part of our stormwater management approach, we prepared drainage calculations and designed a compliant stormwater pond system. Our stormwater plans adhered to Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFMD) guidelines, addressing runoff volume, flow rates, and water quality treatment to protect surrounding ecosystems.

Construction Documents and Utility Planning

We developed detailed construction documents including:

Site layout and grading plans
Paving, drainage, and utility design
Stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP)
Water and sewer connections

These documents streamlined contractor coordination and ensured local permitting agencies had all necessary civil engineering documentation.

Permitting and Regulatory Compliance

RSP Engineers coordinated with Manatee County DRC, SWFMD, and utility providers to obtain all necessary permits. Our team’s knowledge of local permitting workflows accelerated approvals and minimized costly delays — a key advantage when working with a civil engineering company that knows Florida regulations.
