High Point Preserve is a 45 14 lot subdivision approximately 1 mile inland from the Atlantic Ocean near Bethany Beach, Delaware. The flat topography and shallow water table presented significant challenges in meeting the Delaware Sediment and Stormwater Regulations. Axiom Engineering prepared a hydrodynamic watershed study and proposed land efficient BMPs to satisfy the regulations and avoid the loss of 3 residential lots indicated by conventional methodology.
Axiom Engineering assisted Donovan’s Painting and Drywall attorney with zoning entitlements for their corporate office near Lewes, Delaware. Upon land use approval, the site required DelDOT entrance plan approval and a detailed sediment and stormwater plan.
Kings Landing Business Park is home to the Dewey Beer Micro-brewery. The commercial business park also includes the Pizza Machine take out and a variety of contractor office spaces.
Axiom Engineering had worked on the adjacent Sussex County Wetland Mitigation Bank prior to designing this expansion to an existing self storage facility. Through coordination with the Sussex County Engineering Department and the Sussex Conservation District, Axiom Engineering successfully negotiated a reduced footprint for the mini-storage stormwater management BMP to increase water recharge into the existing Wetland Mitigation Bank, benefiting the environment and both projects.
The Splash Laundromat is located in the Town of Georgetown’s Downtown Development District. With the assistance of the construction managers at Tidemark Construction, the project was submitted to the State’s DDD Grant Funding program and received reimbursement for 20% of the hard costs associated with the construction of the project
In 2014, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control adopted revised Sediment & Stormwater Regulations that rendered some project financially inviable. These controversial regulations were eventually overturned by the Delaware Supreme Court, but Sea Star Villagein Millville by the Sea was subject to these regulations. Axiom Engineering prepared an 1,100 acre hydrodynamic watershed study and proposed several environmentally sensitive and land efficient BMPs to satisfy the regulations and increase the project yield to 102 dwellings instead of the 97 dwellings indicated in the initial concept plan.
Apple Arbor is a 14 lot subdivision approximately 1 mile inland from the Atlantic Ocean near Bethany Beach, Delaware. The flat topography and shallow water table presented significant challenges in meeting the Delaware Sediment and Stormwater Regulations. The project met compliance with a combination bio-swale and wet extended detention basin without adversely affecting project yield.
Phase 1 of the Villages @ Herring Creek included the construction of a spray irrigation field for the on-site disposal of treated wastewater. Several years after the wastewater treatment plan was activated, Sussex County Engineering Department expanded central sewer service to include the project. The prior engineering plan for Phase 2 included removal and re-grading of the entire wastewater lagoon and all associated infrastructure. Axiom's re-design provided significant cost savings by retaining the subgrade liner intact for the majority of the lagoon to serve as a liner for the permanent stormwater management
Sussex County Engineering Department received a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration to construct a wetland mitigation bank on County-owned lands to offset impacts to regulatory wetlands at the Sussex County Airport. Axiom Engineering collaborated with a Delaware environmental scientist to assist in feasibility review of County-owned properties, site selection, land surveying and grading and construction plans for the wetland mitigation bank.
Panera Bread was a pad site developed that exceeded the impervious cover established in the shopping center stormwater management system. Axiom Engineering provided a simple solution that met the requirements of the state regulations without a re-design or expansion of the shopping center's central stormwater management system.
The lands of the Lewes Meineke were zoned Agricultural Residential (AR-1) when acquired by the project developer. Axiom Engineering provided exhibits and testimony during the rezoning hearings, and assisted the zoning attorney to establish a public record sufficient to rezone the properties to Commercial Residential (CR-1). Upon successful rezoning, construction plans were prepared including utilities, entrance and stormwater management.
Stoney Ridge Subdivision is a 41 lot residential subdivision approved and constructed under Sussex County's cluster ordinance. During feasibility review, Axiom Engineering identified significant drainage problems with the property. The developer was able to secure off-site easements prior to settling on the purchase. The resulting design allowed for the a significantly higher yield than would have been possible absent the easements obtained.
Axiom Engineering prepared site plans for the Lewes Volunteer Fire Company to replace the aging facility that needed to be replaced with a modern facility including classroom space, living quarters and a social hall. The impervious ground cover significantly increased. Axiom negotiated with the Delaware Department of Transportation to leave the existing entrance intact, and designed stormwater BMPs to satisfy the regulator requirements for the project.
The infrastructure for Gull’s Nest Subdivision was constructed in the early 1980's. Axiom Engineering was contacted by the home-owner's association regarding persistent drainage problems. Axiom Engineering collaborated with a local landscape architect to provide practical solutions to the drainage problems concurrent with an aesthetic overhaul of the existing entry boulevard.
Fork Landing Subdivision, located in the City of Milford, Delaware, is a mix of single family detached and single family attached (duplex) units. The site discharges to Deep Branch, a tidal water body that outfalls to the Mispillion River. As such, the site qualified for a waiver from stormwater quantity management. Axiom Engineering designed a simple bio-swale and infiltration basin to meet the regulatory requirements with minimal land consumption and construction costs.
