Battery storage site civil and county permitting

Civil design and county permitting outside the fence on Texas battery storage sites.

What this covers

Between your interconnection agreement and notice to proceed, a few approvals set the schedule: access, drainage, platting where it applies, and the fire code official’s review of access and water supply. If the EPC designs only inside the fence, nobody owns them.

We start the longest clock first, typically the TxDOT driveway permit, and flag owner costs like a tank or hydrant as early as the agencies will commit. One scope, one fee. We commit our production times; agency review times are not ours to promise.

  • TxDOT access driveway permit, with spacing, sight distance and culvert sizing
  • Ponding-area drainage analysis, before the EPC fixes the fenced layout
  • County development and plat submittal, once we confirm a plat is required
  • Fire code submittal: apparatus access and water supply (or an NFPA 1142 calculation), with your EPC’s NFPA 855 design
  • Water tap design, SWPPP and TXR150000 documentation, and the 911 address
  • A sealed site assessment before you commit: desktop diligence, walk-down, permit matrix, cost exposures

Questions

Straight answers.

Our EPC handles civil. Why do we need you?

Inside the fence, they do. Outside it, the approvals belong to TxDOT, the county and the fire code official. We carry those.

Do you do the NFPA 855 design?

No. We assemble the fire code submittal with your EPC’s NFPA 855 design, and design the access, water supply and corridor civil.
