J.R. Evans Engineering provided floodplain management services to map, model and facilitate a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) for a proposed development project located along the coast within the City of Clearwater, FL. The project included the design and hydraulic analysis of a proposed wave dissipation retaining wall for the purpose of withstanding 100-year wave forces associated with the high risk "VE" flood zone and resulting in an "AE" flood zone over the proposed development site. The implementation of the proposed wall provides for additional protection and mitigation of flood risks to the property and proposed building. By completing a CLOMR before construction, the savings in construction costs were $0.5 Million dollars. Once the wall is constructed, a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) shall be obtained to formalize the flood zone change. In addition, the building's owners will experience a significant savings in the annual flood insurance costs. - For more information about our services, please call 239.405.9148.
