Dunedin Isles Roadway Drainage Improvements

The residents of an 80-acre neighborhood in the City of Dunedin, Florida were seeking the City’s assistance in resolving reoccurring roadway and house flooding. The City needed a firm to provide the engineering solutions for this $2.8 million stormwater improvement project co-funded by Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD).

DRMP was selected by the City of Dunedin to provide the professional engineering services for this high profile stormwater retrofit project.  DRMP performed hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, alternative analysis, design and permitting of the recommended improvements to resolve the flooding issues. The project included construction of new roadway, storm sewer, two new stormwater management facilities, a CDS unit and a parking lot for the proposed fire station.  The project required coordination with the local golf course in the property acquisition stage for the proposed dry pond. Permitting was completed for the SWFWMD, US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). Project included approximately 3,000-LF of water main replacements and associated FDEP permitting. 

DRMP improved the quality of life for the residents of Dunedin Isles by alleviating chronic flooding and improving water quality to St. Josephs Sound.
