The PDS professional staff was tasked with the required site permitting through the City of Dania Beach, South Florida Water Management District, Army Corps of Engineers and Broward County Environmental Protection Department. The project included design calculations for the stormwater management pumping system, as well as the associated drainage wells and exfiltration trench.
The neighbourhood located west of West Lake is a low-lying community just several inches above sea level and suffers from intense flooding during times of heavy rains coinciding with high tides. The project included the drainage system including drainage wells, exfiltration trench, piping and master drainage pumps discharging into the existing West Lake. This neighbourhood, of over 500 acres (roughly three quarters of a square mile), is a high-profile area that has been the subject of many news reports over the past several years.
