Chesapeake Reserve Study

A reserve study in Chesapeake must consider sea level rise and flood risk, hurricane-resistant construction, challenging soils, as well as stormwater compliance.

We Understand Local Chesapeake Conditions & Costs

Rising Sea Levels and Flood Risk - The low elevation, high water table, and rising sea levels are all factors to be considered in Chesapeake.

Hurricane-Resistant Construction - Structures must withstand high winds and violent storms.

Challenging Soils - Sandy, marshy, and clay-heavy soils have a poor load bearing capacity and require unique structural techniques.

Stormwater Compliance -  Chesapeake is subject to the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act which places limits on impervious surfaces, maintains tree saving requirements, and aims to retain stormwater.

Suburban Growth and Infrastructure Gaps - Rapid growth means newer areas may lack full access to public water and sewer systems as well as sidewalks and stormwater systems.

High Costs - Design, construction, and labor costs are all increased due to high demand and rising inflation.
