BCI was selected by the City of New Smyrna Beach to perform a peer review for the Central Beach Flood Mitigation Phase II project designed by ECT, Inc. The project designed by ECT included plans and specifications for paving 5,000 feet of existing shell road and adding curb inlets, CDS units, pumps, and a generator to alleviate flooding problems.

BCI has been a master engineering and environmental consultant for the City of Lakeland for nearly 20 years. In this capacity we have conducted various water resource related projects to include lake  restoration, wetland design and monitoring, shoreline stabilization, and master planning.

BCI was selected by the City of Winter Haven to evaluate the feasibility of and develop a concept design for the construction of a 15-acre multi-use stormwater park on the shore of Lake Howard.  The project area was characterized as a low-lying, overgrown  outparcel that appeared to be somewhat unsuitable for development.

BCI is assisting Stanley Consultants evaluating pollutant loading from stormwater runoff into the Upper Palatlakaha River Chain of Lake near Clermont, Florida. BCI tasks include pollutant load modeling, selection of priority basins, conceptual stormwater BMP design and permitting.

BCI was contracted by the Lake County Board of County Commissioners to develop a Watershed Management Plan (WMP) for the Lake Griffin Basin. Lake Griffin is recognized as a high priority water body by the County as well as the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD).

The City of Groveland employed BCI Engineers & Scientists, Inc. (BCI) to develop a stormwater  master plan for a study area of approximately 937 acres contained within its city limits. During Phase I of the project, BCI determined problem areas and prepared conceptual designs for alternatives to address water quality and flooding issues within the study area.

BCI is responsible for comprehensive environmental compliance of hundreds of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) stormwater facilities in 17 counties throughout central Florida. We perform stormwater facility inspection, maintenance work order preparation, maintenance contract preparation, and database compliance information entry.

This project included the design, permitting, and plans preparation for the placement of a Continuous Deflection Separation (CDS) Unit in a highly urbanized basin in Temple Terrace. A 60-inch outfall pipe discharging into the Hillsborough River was considered a high priority outfall, since the City of Tampa pulls its drinking water from the river.

BCI was selected by the Southwest Florida Water Management District’s (SWFWMD) Surface Water Improvement and Management  (SWIM) Department to design and permit various stormwater quality improvements within the Hunter Springs basin area. The Hunter Springs basin is located within the Kings Bay watershed, which is known to be a preferred winter home for the Florida Manatee. The basin is characterized by a large stormwater outfall that reports directly to the Kings Bay watershed.  As such, water quality from this outfall is especially important, as it represents a significant inflow to the Bay. 

BCI Engineers & Scientists, Inc.  (BCI) converted abandoned wastewater treatment percolation ponds into off-line Stormwater Management Systems for Polk County’s Natural Resources & Drainage Department. This process involved utilizing existing topography to maximize detention time and  preferential flow paths. We also provided roadway flood duration relief for the adjacent subdivisions.
