Engineering our
mountain communities
stormwater management engineering
We help municipalities, districts, and project teams understand flood risk, stormwater behavior, drainage constraints, and regulatory requirements so they can make clear, defensible decisions. Stormwater engineering should do more than check a box. It should reduce risk in the real world.
Floodplain engineering and stormwater engineering services help communities understand how water moves through sites, channels, crossings, and drainage systems, and what that means for infrastructure, permitting, and public safety. In mountain communities, those questions are shaped by steep terrain, constrained corridors, aging infrastructure, and limited room for error.
Whether the need is a stormwater management engineer for drainage planning or a floodplain engineer near you for mapping, modeling, and review support, the goal is the same: identify risk early and support decisions that will hold up over time.
Stormwater engineering services and floodplain engineering often combine hydrology, hydraulics, drainage planning, floodplain analysis, and coordination with agencies or permitting requirements. Good analysis helps owners and public agencies understand where problems are likely to show up before they become larger failures or delays.

Floodplain engineering
Floodplain engineering helps evaluate flood risk, mapped floodplain conditions, conveyance, and infrastructure impacts so projects and public improvements can move forward with stronger technical support.

Stormwater engineering services
Stormwater engineering services help evaluate runoff, drainage capacity, detention and retention needs, and system behavior during storm events. This work supports better site decisions, infrastructure planning, and long-term maintenance.

Drainage studies and modeling
Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, including tools such as HEC-RAS and drainage studies, helps project teams understand flow behavior, peak runoff, and infrastructure performance under real conditions.

Regulatory and agency coordination
Floodplain and stormwater work often has to stand up to review by FEMA and local or state agencies, so the engineering needs to be technically sound, clearly documented, and practical to implement.
This service is built for municipalities, counties, utilities, special districts, and project teams that need a stormwater management engineer or floodplain engineering support for public infrastructure, drainage planning, site constraints, or regulator-facing review. It is especially relevant when the work involves public accountability, flood risk, drainage upgrades, capital planning, or infrastructure exposed to runoff and flooding.

Floodplain and stormwater problems rarely stay isolated. They affect permitting, public safety, infrastructure performance, site design, and long-term maintenance. Early analysis helps clarify what the system can handle, where risk is concentrated, and what improvements are most defensible.
From serving as Engineer of Record for Basalt Sanitation District to supporting complex river crossing projects, we have delivered water and wastewater solutions across Colorado’s rural and mountain communities for more than a decade. Our work reflects disciplined engineering, regulatory fluency, and a clear understanding of how these systems must perform in the real world.
Need a stormwater management engineer or floodplain engineering support?
Whether the project involves drainage planning, stormwater analysis, floodplain review, or a broader public infrastructure question, early engineering input can reduce uncertainty and help define the path forward.
