+Protect
Water is a paradox – vital to life, yet a potentially destructive force. Many
infrastructure failures can be traced to inadequate stormwater and fl oodwater
management. Our hydrologists and hydraulic engineers use the latest technology
to model the outcome of rainfall events and protect infrastructure, people and
property from fl ood damage. Through fl oodplain mapping, levee design and
certifi cation, watershed master planning, bank stabilization, and design of storm
sewer and pumping systems, we’ve helped numerous communities protect
critical infrastructure and public/private property.
+Prevent
Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) prevent erosion of valuable land
and the degradation of precious water resources. Our staff includes nationally
recognized experts in Low Impact Development techniques. We tailor every
BMP application to meet the attributes and limitations of its location. We’ve
designed many award-winning BMP projects involving rain gardens, infi ltration
basins, fi ltration trenches, grit chambers and treatment trains. We have also
designed ponds, enhanced sand fi lters, swales, wetlands, and vegetative BMPs
where appropriate. In all cases, we understand that no BMP can truly be called
“sustainable” unless it is affordable, constructible and maintainable for the client.
+Restore
Some of our most rewarding projects have involved the restoration of aquatic
systems to their natural ecologic functions. These projects have included stream
and river bank stabilization, re-establishment of lost meanders, pond and
lake restoration, and restored wetlands. Communities often rally around such
projects, invigorated civically by the pride that arises from shared environmental
stewardship. Many municipalities also recognize the economic and health benefi t
of restoring water resource systems that serve as drinking water sources. For
private developers, a restored water feature can differentiate a development as a
more attractive and livable environment than competing developments.
