Floodplain Management & Planning
Protecting our communities
Our approach is to foster resilience
Our efforts assist communities, utilities, and other clients in making informed decisions based upon sound floodplain management principles. We embrace the “no adverse impact” philosophy of floodplain management but understand that floodplain development must be resilient when necessary. Buildings, roads, utilities, and community infrastructure must be “flood ready” and able to withstand and quickly recover from flood events.
Our areas of expertise
Floodplain management services include planning and design for local and state governments and non-government organizations, industries, and developers, as well as post-disaster inspection and emergency repair design. We strive to incorporate resiliency into all of our projects.
