Stormwater Pumping Stations Retrofit
Orange County, FL
WBQ
Design & Engineering, Inc. was commissioned through
our continuing services contract with the Orange
County Roads and Drainage Department to evaluate and
complete engineering design to retrofit ten manually
operated stormwater pumping stations located
throughout the county with automation, telemetry and
emergency power systems. The primary purpose of the
project was to upgrade the aging stations with more
efficient pumps and operating systems, together with
eliminating the need to have maintenance personnel
travel to the stations and manually start the pumps in
the event of and emergency.

Lake Margaret/Conway Basin
Stormwater Improvements
Orange County, Florida
WBQ
Design & Engineering, Inc. provided Orange County
Board of County Commissioners civil engineering
services to provide a basin analysis within the Lake
Margaret/Conway drainage basin for the purpose of
plugging an existing drainage well and diverting the
entire basin to an alternate outfall location at Lake
Anderson. The well served a drainage basin of
approximately 33 acres. A hydrologic and hydraulic
model of the system was generated to evaluate the
capacity of the well and the runoff created within the
basin. The analysis indicated that the well functioned
above capacity and that flooding within the basin
would occur for all modeled storm events. The Lake
Anderson Basin and the adjacent basins which
discharged to Lake Anderson consisted of approximately
250 acres. A hydrologic model of Lake Anderson was
generated to analyze the effects of diversion of the
Lake Margaret Basin to Lake Anderson. . A permit for
the basin diversion was obtained from the St. Johns
River Water Management District.
Newover Canal
Orange County, Florida
WBQ
Design & Engineering, Inc. (WBQ), provided civil
engineering services for the Phase V expansion of the
Orange County Convention Center, and was responsible
for design and permitting of the realignment of
Newover Canal; a major stormwater conveyance canal in
southwest Orange County. The existing canal served as
the drainage outfall system for the majority of the
developments along the segment of International Drive
between Sand Lake Road and the Bee Line Expressway, as
well as a significant portion of the Lockheed Martin
Defense Plant property and the Universal Studios Theme
Park to the north. WBQ performed a complete analysis
of the areas contributing drainage flow to the canal
and modeled the basin hydrology and system hydraulics
to determine the flow characteristics of the channel
under various storm conditions. The final design of
the box culvert system and canal realignment was
permitted through the South Florida Water Management
District and the Orange County Engineering Department.
FDOT,
District 5
Districtwide
Miscellaneous Maintenance Drainage Design
WBQ
Design & Engineering, Inc. provided FDOT, District 5
with stormwater related services to include: hydraulic
design of highway drainage system for all types of
projects; design water management systems; obtain
environmental and water management district permits;
prepare bridge hydraulics reports/bridge hydraulics
recommendation sheets; prepare hydraulics reports for
project development studies; investigate subsurface
conditions to discover voids under roadways; make
recommendations and prepare plans for the
rehabilitation and repair of existing storm drainage
structures and facilities; perform risk assessment and
economic analysis on alternate drainage designs and
materials and hold Community Awareness Programs as
necessary.
