Projects ALFA Engineering Can Assist With
Scope and Typical Deliverables
Our scope includes civil site planning, storm drainage infrastructure, and full-service TDI-certified windstorm inspections to keep your property compliant and insurable.
Deliverables depend on project scope, jurisdiction requirements, and site conditions.
Local Engineering and Permitting Considerations
Situated between Matagorda and Lavaca Bays, our projects must withstand high humidity, coastal wind forces, and potential storm surge, requiring high-performance engineering solutions.
Permit considerations: We manage the technical requirements for the City of Port Lavaca Building Department, ensuring that all site plans and structural designs meet local safety standards.
Drainage and floodplain: Coastal drainage is critical here; we design site-specific systems that manage stormwater runoff and address the potential for flooding from nearby bay waters.
Windstorm: As a Tier 1 catastrophe area, windstorm-resistant construction is mandatory. We provide expert inspections and submit the applicable WPI-8 documentation to TDI; the Texas Department of Insurance issues the WPI-8 certificate.
