Why Smart Stormwater Design is the Unsung Hero of Civil Engineering

💡 Why Smart Stormwater Design is a Game-Changer for Communities

In the face of more frequent extreme weather events and aging infrastructure, cities and counties across the Southeast are investing in smarter, more resilient stormwater design. At Abbie Jones Consulting, we know that stormwater management isn’t just about pipes and ditches—it’s about protecting communities, supporting development, and building long-term value.

Smart stormwater design combines hydrologic modeling, green infrastructure, and site-specific engineering solutions to:

• Prevent flooding and erosion

• Protect property and roads

• Improve water quality

• Support future growth

• Reduce long-term maintenance costs

From urban redevelopment to rural flood mitigation, AJC provides tailored stormwater solutions that meet both regulatory and community needs. Our designs often include stream restoration, updated culvert sizing, energy dissipation structures, and strategic detention/retention planning—ensuring water moves safely and sustainably.

Smart stormwater design isn’t just good engineering—it’s resilient, responsible, and forward-thinking.

🛠️ Whether you’re planning a subdivision, redesigning a roadway, or addressing persistent drainage problems, our civil engineers are here to help guide the process from permitting to construction.
