HYDRAULICS

 

 

AIA Engineers, Ltd. offers a full range of engineering capabilities for innovative drainage designs. AIA's capabilities include bridge deck drainage, complete design of storm sewer systems with roadside curb and gutter, inlets, catch basins, stormwater management for water quality and quantity, designs for erosion and sediment control, and selection and utilization of stormwater outfall. Our in-house highway and structural engineers are also integral members of our drainage design team. AIA provides state-of-the-art analysis capabilities using computer modeling as appropriate. Numerous water resources related models are available in our software bank, including EPA-SWMM, COE-HEC 1, HEC 2, USGS-WSPRO, SCS-TR20, TR55, KYPIPE, POND-PACK, and WASP4.

Bridge hydrology and hydraulics, river mechanics, scour potential estimation, and retrofit designs to combat scour are AIA's specialty. In analyzing the water surface profiles on numerous stream crossing projects, the one-dimensional, steady state models such as HEC 2/ WSPRO are used. Our experts in the field have successfully implemented the two-dimensional models for meandering streams. AIA uses sophisticated stochastic analysis for complex hydrological situations in computing peak discharges for different frequencies.

AIA's water resources team offers the broad perspective and specialized services required for Master Plan preparation of water supply and sewerage projects. Services also include flood impact analysis, flood plain studies, and watershed management. The firm and its staff members have extensive experience in Master Plan preparation for large metropolitan cities. Our senior staff members have analyzed complex water transmission and distribution systems, and sewerage networks. AIA has expertise in analyzing sanitary sewer networks for infiltration and inflow.

Furthermore, in order to maintain AIA's corporate commitment to delivering quality services and completing projects on time and within budget, we develop special purpose and project specific software programs to supplement the commercially available generic standard software.
