Surface water management

Our diverse team of experts provides thoughtful designs to reduce waste and create efficiencies.

Surface water management is a complex endeavor. You need to not only design safely around potential flooding conditions and reduce water contacts with contaminants, but ensure your organization is prepared to meet permitting and design requirements under constantly variable conditions. Not to mention, detangling the varying regulatory requirements makes your job even more complicated.

Haley & Aldrich’s surface water planning and engineering team understands that you need a partner who provides a thoughtful approach when designing surface water infrastructure, drainage plans, and preparing floodplain mapping. We know that a complex design isn’t always the most cost efficient or effective. That’s why our team, comprised of geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, hydrogeologists, and hydraulics experts, is able to design with simplicity and resiliency in mind.

Our clients often tell us they save time, money, and effort during construction because our experts continually seek efficient approaches. We consider the most holistic approach to design that integrates into the site setting in a way that reduces infrastructure costs and maintains as much of the natural environment as possible.
