We are experts in specialty tasks including penstocks, tunnels and pipelines; gate inspections and reliability analyses; concrete assessment and repair; finite element modeling; instrumentation monitoring and evaluation; hydrology and hydraulics; geotechnical investigations; seismic evaluations; bulkheads and caissons; embankment and levee inspections; operations modeling; environmental studies; settlement and seepage analyses; AAR and slot cutting; GIS support; and post- tensioned anchors.
