Flood Plain Development
Developing within or near a designated floodplain demands precise engineering, regulatory awareness, and risk mitigation. At Norex Engineering, we offer comprehensive floodplain development services to ensure your project meets both safety standards and the requirements set by FEMA and local jurisdictions.
Our team begins with a site-specific floodplain assessment to identify Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), flood zone classifications (including AE, AO, or V Zones), and the associated risks. From there, we design site and structural modifications that minimize flood impacts—such as elevating structures, modifying grading plans, and implementing proper drainage and flow paths.
Our services include:
Elevation Certificates for flood insurance and permitting
FEMA Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) support
Floodplain Development Permits
Coordination with Harris County, city floodplain administrators, or regional drainage districts
Engineering plans for V-Zone construction, breakaway walls, and elevation compliance
Whether you're constructing a new home, commercial facility, or renovating an existing structure in a flood-prone area, Norex Engineering provides the technical expertise and documentation needed to move your project forward—safely, legally, and with peace of mind.
