CDS – CAD Design Systems provides grading & drainage services in Central Florida, helping engineers, developers, and construction teams manage site elevations, stormwater flow, and drainage infrastructure for land development projects.
Our grading and drainage solutions support commercial developments, residential subdivisions, and infrastructure projects, ensuring proper water management while meeting local regulatory requirements throughout Brevard County and the surrounding region.
From early site analysis through construction-ready documentation, CDS produces accurate grading and drainage plans that support efficient permitting, construction coordination, and long-term site performance.
Effective land development requires careful coordination between site grading, paving layouts, and drainage infrastructure.
Our grading and drainage services in Central Florida include detailed paving, grading, and drainage plans that define finished site elevations, roadway slopes, and surface drainage patterns.
These plans help engineers and contractors understand how site surfaces will be shaped to manage water flow and maintain safe, functional site conditions.
Typical deliverables include:
• Site grading plans
• Pavement slope coordination
• Surface drainage layouts
• Elevation and contour documentation
These drawings ensure site grading aligns with overall development design and construction requirements.
Stormwater management is a critical component of modern land development.
CDS prepares stormwater drainage layouts that illustrate how runoff is collected, conveyed, and managed across development sites.
Our stormwater planning documentation supports:
• Drainage collection systems
• Stormwater conveyance routes
• Surface runoff management
• Integration with retention systems
These layouts help ensure projects meet local stormwater regulations and environmental compliance requirements.
In addition to primary stormwater systems, developments must account for secondary drainage paths that protect properties during heavy rainfall events.
Our team develops secondary drainage planning documentation to ensure excess water can safely flow away from structures and infrastructure.
These plans help identify:
• Emergency overflow routes
• Supplemental drainage channels
• Water flow direction across site elevations
Secondary drainage planning provides an additional layer of protection for development projects and surrounding properties.
Water storage systems play an important role in controlling runoff and protecting nearby infrastructure.
CDS prepares retention and detention basin concepts that help engineers evaluate stormwater storage and release strategies for development sites.
These planning concepts support:
• Stormwater retention basin layouts
• Detention pond planning
• Water storage capacity coordination
• Integration with overall site drainage design
These concepts provide engineers with a clear foundation for designing compliant stormwater management systems.
Construction sites must control soil erosion and sediment movement to protect surrounding environments and infrastructure.
CDS develops erosion and sediment control planning documentation that supports regulatory compliance and responsible construction practices.
Typical planning elements include:
• Temporary erosion control measures
• Sediment containment strategies
• Construction phase water management planning
These plans help contractors minimize environmental impact while maintaining compliance with local development regulations.
Grading plans must balance site elevations, earthwork volumes, and construction feasibility.
Our team performs earthwork cut and fill analysis to determine how soil will be redistributed across development sites.
This analysis helps project teams understand:
• Excavation requirements
• Soil redistribution planning
• Balanced site grading strategies
• Construction cost considerations
By evaluating earthwork volumes early in the design process, we help developers and engineers optimize grading plans for both performance and construction efficiency.
Our grading and drainage planning services in Central Florida support a wide range of development types, including:
• Residential subdivisions
• Commercial developments
• Industrial facilities
• Infrastructure improvement projects
• Redevelopment and site upgrades
From Brevard County to surrounding Central Florida communities, CDS provides organized grading and drainage documentation designed to support permitting, engineering design, and construction coordination.
At CDS CAD Design Systems, proper grading and drainage planning are essential to the success of any development project.
