The Beachside Development Strategy
In the realm of land development, each project brings its own set of unique challenges. For AXA Engineers, a leading firm with over 15 years of experience in the infrastructure design consulting sector, the Beachside Development project in North Carolina stands out as a hallmark of innovation and expertise. This 192-acre project, featuring 351 lots with a construction density of 2.0 dwelling units per acre, demanded creative solutions to overcome the inherent challenges of a flat terrain. Through our role as an outsourcing partner, AXA Engineers played an integral part in transforming this level expanse into a thriving, sustainable community.
The Role of AXA Engineers
In our capacity as an outsourcing partner, AXA Engineers was involved from the project’s inception, right through to the approval of the construction document (CD) set. Working closely under the guidance and support of our partner’s Professional Engineers (PEs), we meticulously handled the project’s design tasks.
The process was iterative. Upon receiving the initial design information, our team got to work, crafting detailed plans that were then sent back to the client for review. Feedback was provided in the form of markups or a list of updates required, which we duly addressed. This cycle of refinement continued until the project was approved. Throughout, AXA Engineers was responsible for nearly 100% of the plan production, deeply involved in the design efforts that brought the Beachside Development to life.

Flat Terrain, Complex Challenges
The Beachside Development project was not without its difficulties. However, through a series of innovative solutions, AXA Engineers overcame each obstacle to deliver an exceptional outcome. Below, we outline three main challenges we faced and the solutions we devised.
The Issue: Crafting a functional roadway profile on flat terrain can be particularly challenging, especially in managing wastewater and ensuring efficient potable water drainage.
The Issue: Achieving a balance between cut and fill volumes was critical to avoid excessive material movement and inflated costs.
The Issue: Traditional stormwater management methods were impractical given the flat terrain and the project’s low population density.
Project Solutions
Through a series of innovative solutions, we overcame each obstacle to deliver an exceptional outcome
Domestic Water Management
The Approach: We engineered a Pump Station designed to efficiently process potable water, connecting it to the existing sewer system via a forcemain system. This solution ensured reliable water services for future residents and integrated seamlessly with the town’s infrastructure.
Precise Earthwork Balancing
The Approach: Through precise calculations and strategic planning, we struck an equilibrium between cut and fill volumes. This meticulous approach minimized material movement, kept costs in check, and ensured the project remained on schedule.
Eco-Friendly Stormwater Strategy
The Approach: With the town’s permission, we adopted an eco-friendly stormwater management approach, allowing for direct discharge into streams rather than opting for traditional pond designs. This method not only reduced the project’s overall volume but also promoted natural water flow, which minimized environmental impact.
