Our civil engineering team provides professional services in the planning, analysis, design, and implementation of stormwater management facilities for public systems and private developments.

Our civil engineering team provides professional services in the planning, analysis, design, and implementation of stormwater management facilities for public systems and private developments. Our experience with hydrologic and hydraulic analysis and design includes storm drain systems, natural and engineered channels, detention, streambank stabilization, and floodplain studies. Our experience with water quality design includes sedimentation / filtration, retention / re-irrigation, biofiltration, bioswales, and extended detention.

Specifically, our team has developed many proven design solutions that meet or exceed rigorous criteria and standards of many central Texas jurisdictional agencies, such as the City of Austin Barton Springs Zone, the Edwards Aquifer Protection Program, and the LCRA Highland Lakes Watershed Ordinance. In each of our stormwater management designs, our goal is to maximize life safety, sustainability, and aesthetics, while minimizing construction and operational costs. We accomplish our goal by assessing the unique characteristics of each site to develop a specific stormwater management approach, before then implementing one or more of our proven design solutions as best fits the project.

Examples of projects that include significant hydrologic, hydraulic, and water quality analysis and design include:

• LCRA Redbud Center (biofiltration, extended detention, bioswales)
• City of Austin Davis / Deer Lane (retention / re-irrigation, detention)
• Austin Community College Pinnacle Campus Parking Lot Expansion (retention / re-irrigation, detention)
• Austin-Bergstrom International Airport General Aviation Apron
• Austin-Bergstrom International Airport Drainage Master Plan
• Travis County Tuscany Way South
• Travis County Howard Lane I
• Texas State University Round Rock Higher Education Center Master Plan
• Austin Clean Water Program White Horse Wastewater Improvements (streambank stabilization)
• UT Disch Falk Field Improvements
• Austin ISD Saegert Transportation Facility (biofiltration)
