Areas of Expertise
Stormwater and Drainage
BDI has designed hundreds of large-scale stormwater management and drainage projects for local governments across the southeast. Designing buried pipe systems, ditches, stormwater retention, detention ponds, lakes, reservoirs, overflow structures, outfalls, channels, canals, dams, bridges, culverts, and basin modeling are just a few of the projects we have worked on. Drainage plans and studies for cities and counties, residential subdivisions, business projects, roadways, bridges, and industrial parks have all been a part of our project experience in this field. In every case, we focus on providing environmentally friendly, logistically coordinated, and permittable stormwater solutions.
Master Planning/Basin Studies
Planning and managing large-scale drainage systems and basins is a critical aspect of public safety and policy. For decades, BDI’s engineers have been at the forefront of this practice, building an extensive portfolio of successful consulting projects. Utilizing advanced technologies, we develop hydrologic and hydraulic models with georeferenced graphic systems to deliver precise and efficient solutions.
Our clients trust that a BDI master plan will result in a cost-effective, environmentally sustainable, and socially responsible design that anticipates future development and meets the evolving infrastructure needs of the community. Our engineers understand that the success of individual drainage projects is rooted in the strength of the overall master plan. A well-designed stormwater master plan offers a reliable, comprehensive framework for informed decision-making and future public investments.
Surface Water Restoration
We are proud of our reputation as a cutting-edge firm. Our staff is consistently learning, we are part of a wide variety of training and continuing education programs. In the field of stormwater management, one of the emerging areas of public concern is the quality of our local inland surface waterways. This new area of our practice involves the integration of both the civil stormwater and environmental engineering disciplines. Once again, BDI is at the forefront of this important issue. For our local government clients, it is critical that our engineers develop strong technical capabilities in developing areas of public concern.
Stormwater Initiatives
We recognize the importance of local control and involvement in tackling the complex stormwater challenges faced by southern coastal and inland communities. We remain highly attuned to both the technological and programmatic aspects of this critical public issue. Our services go beyond traditional engineering planning and design—we actively engage with our clients to provide non-traditional support, helping them make progressive, informed policy decisions. By combining engineering expertise with a collaborative approach, BDI helps communities develop effective solutions to their stormwater management needs.
Transportation
Over the years, we have learned that true innovation stems from our greatest asset—our people. Our team has successfully completed a diverse array of large-scale highway and airfield transportation projects for local municipalities, counties, federal agencies, and the Florida and Alabama Departments of Transportation.
