Water Treatment Management and Flood Mapping

For more information regarding our Water Resources services, please contact Clint Brown P.E.

Engineering Analytics, Inc. (EA) has a highly experienced water resources engineering staff that has worked on more than 80 dams and has aided in the permitting of over 30. EA has prepared designs, feasibility studies, alternatives analysis, construction bid documents, construction cost estimates, as well as aided in contractor selection for the construction of new dams and the rehabilitation of aging facilities. Several of EA’s senior staff have over 40 years’ experience designing and constructing dams in the United States.

In addition to dam design, rehabilitation, and inspection, EA has significant experience in water storage planning and delivery, flood mapping, river restoration, dam failure investigations, and water treatment. EA has provided consulting services to a variety of industries including municipalities, industrial companies, mining companies, and state and federal agencies.

Areas of Expertise:

Dam Design, Rehabilitation, and Inspection

EA’s staff has experience designing, rehabilitating, and inspecting small to large embankment dams. We can provide rehabilitation design services, emergency action plan preparation, dam safety inspection services, hazard assessment, and seepage control systems. EA’s engineers have design and rehabilitation experience with outlet works, slip lining, spillway replacement, outlet works replacement and repair of breached dams.

Flood Mapping, River Restoration, and Dam Failure Investigation

Up to date and accurate flood inundation mapping is essential to public health and safety. EA develops maps, based on hydraulic modeling, that estimate where flooding will occur if a dam fails or if a river basin experiences a large storm event.

What triggers the need for a hydraulic analysis?
When system capacity, pressure, or flow performance is in question. Engineering Analytics evaluates existing conditions to identify bottlenecks, surge risks, or compliance issues, with results guiding upgrades and operational decisions.
Can Engineering Analytics help with stormwater master planning?
Yes. Master plans assess drainage capacity, integrate hydrology and hydraulics, and apply regulatory criteria to address flooding and erosion. This supports long-range infrastructure investment as growth occurs.
Does Engineering Analytics design water quality monitoring programs?
Yes, including sampling plans and quality assurance protocols for surface water, groundwater, and discharge monitoring. Data interpretations drive corrective actions and help meet ongoing regulatory requirements.
What is included in groundwater modeling services?
Engineering Analytics simulates subsurface flow using calibrated models to predict water movement and contaminant transport. Models support extraction system design, recharge evaluations, and permitting strategies. Sensitivity analyses help quantify uncertainty.
How does Engineering Analytics prepare a dam failure risk assessment?
Through hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, site topography review, and historical flow data to estimate potential inundation. Results define evacuation zones and response priorities and are mapped for regulatory and public use.
Can Engineering Analytics design recycled or reclaimed water systems?
Yes. Source water quality and system demands are evaluated before recommending treatment and distribution solutions. Designs meet regulatory reuse criteria and account for integration with existing infrastructure.
Does Engineering Analytics support emergency water infrastructure repairs?
Yes, including rapid assessment, repair plans, cost estimates, and construction documents under accelerated schedules to minimize service disruptions.
How does Engineering Analytics approach aquifer recharge evaluation?
By assessing hydrogeology, existing groundwater levels, and source availability to determine feasibility. Infiltration potential is modeled and impacts on water rights or regulatory compliance are evaluated to inform sustainable resource planning.
Can Engineering Analytics help write grant applications for water projects?
Yes. They support technical narratives, project justification, and cost estimation for grant proposals, which strengthens technical credibility and funding competitiveness.
What information does Engineering Analytics need to start a water storage planning study?
Existing water system maps, flow and demand data, and regulatory requirements. Subsurface and hydrologic data help inform modeling, and clear objectives keep feasibility work focused.
Can Engineering Analytics provide flood risk and inundation mapping?
Yes. Hydraulic modeling produces flood inundation maps that estimate areas at risk during extreme storm events or potential dam failure, supporting emergency planning and regulatory compliance.
How does Engineering Analytics approach river restoration projects?
Channel hydraulics and sediment conditions are assessed first, then flow behavior is modeled to support resilient design. Permitting and monitoring coordination keeps restoration aligned with regulatory expectations.
Does Engineering Analytics handle both design and construction management for water treatment plants?
Yes, from design through bidding, procurement, construction administration, start-up, and operator training. That continuity helps ensure systems perform as intended from day one.
What industries does Engineering Analytics support with water treatment design?
Municipal, industrial, mining, power, and energy clients. Systems are designed for drinking water, industrial wastewater, and groundwater remediation, with permitting and compliance support available.
Can Engineering Analytics optimize a water treatment system after it's already built?
Yes. Performance evaluations, controls upgrades, and operational adjustments reduce costs and improve efficiency. Bench and pilot testing may be used to find cost-effective solutions.
How does Engineering Analytics support regulatory permitting for water discharge?
They navigate complex permitting processes such as NPDES by preparing technical documentation and quality assurance plans. This reduces delays and improves approval outcomes.
What kinds of water infrastructure can Engineering Analytics design?
Pipelines, pump and lift stations, storage tanks, ponds, hydraulic structures, and irrigation systems. Designs integrate hydraulic, geotechnical, and structural considerations throughout.
How does Engineering Analytics handle complex water treatment challenges?
Through feasibility studies, comparative technology analysis, and pilot testing across chemical, physical, and biological treatment processes. Solutions are tailored to client goals with cost and compliance kept in focus.
What sets Engineering Analytics apart in water resource planning?
Our team combines hydrology, hydraulics, geotechnical, and regulatory expertise rather than sourcing those disciplines separately. That integration reduces scope gaps from feasibility through construction.
