EDI Qualifications


EDI Team Approach

Estes Design can provide some of the most up-to-date LID storm water and environmental restoration knowledge & experience in our region. The combined years of practical experience, knowledge and commitment to this field provides our clients with an extremely focused and high quality resource. All team members also have extensive experience outside of their designated roles.

EDI has lead the southeast in the field of storm water infiltration through years of research and implementation. Members of our team have also routinely performed design and construction management for infrastructure repair & retrofit with monitoring of these storm water systems for periods up to 8 years. This gives us the advantage of knowing what designs work, what fails and why.
