Services we offer
Riverine Engineering
The evaluation of riverine landforms and the processes that shape them is a field known as Fluvial Geomorphology and is an important aspect of the design of bridges, culverts, and other projects affecting the stream environment. Headwaters’ staff include a Certified Floodplain Manager and we have been involved in this emerging science for over 15 years, combining its principals with engineering analyses to develop sound designs that satisfy both environmental and public safety requirements.
