Civil Engineering in Key West, FL
The southernmost city in the continental U.S., Key West is an island chain city built on tourism, hospitality, and the military — home to Naval Air Station Key West, a dense Old Town historic district, and a cruise-ship port. Extreme hurricane exposure, corrosive salt air, and some of the lowest land elevations in Florida define every project.

What we design
- Sea-level-rise adaptation dominates civil work here: Monroe County and the City of Key West both require forward-looking flood risk analysis, and Key West's low elevation — much of the island sits under 5 feet NAVD88 — drives every grading and drainage decision.
- Stormwater design under South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and Florida DEP NPDES permits, complicated by the island's coral substrate, minimal storage, and direct discharge to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, where water quality standards are strict.
- Key West International Airport (EYW) expansion and redevelopment projects require FAA and FDOT coordination, with airfield drainage and utility designs that account for king-tide inundation.
- FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps place most of Key West in AE and VE zones; elevation certificates, floodplain compensatory storage, and no-rise certifications support new construction and substantial-improvement renovations.
- Wastewater infrastructure upgrades continue across the island — Key West runs a centralized sewer system after decades of septic phase-outs — driving lift station, force main, and utility-relocation engineering for road projects.
