Hilton Head Island is a premier resort and residential community where development must balance growth with the preservation of the island's natural beauty. Caldwell Design & Engineering provides civil engineering services that respect this balance while delivering functional, compliant site designs.
Development on Hilton Head Island is governed by the Town of Hilton Head Island's strict land management ordinance, which includes detailed requirements for tree protection, wetland buffers, stormwater management, and architectural review. Our team designs site plans that meet these rigorous standards while maximizing the development potential of each parcel.
Stormwater management on the island must protect the surrounding Atlantic waters, marshes, and tidal creeks. We design drainage and detention systems that comply with SC DHEC standards and the town's stormwater management requirements, incorporating low-impact development practices where appropriate.
Our environmental permitting experience on Hilton Head includes coastal zone consistency reviews, wetland determinations, and coordination with the US Army Corps of Engineers for projects involving jurisdictional waters.
