Floodplain Engineering

WEI has modeled floodplains in mountain streams, flat valleys, and on alluvial fans, and has prepared approximate floodplain and detailed floodplain and floodway mapping. Models have been in wildland, rural, and urban settings. Gerald Williams, owner of WEI, has taught sessions and whole day long workshops on floodplain engineering, and is an ASFPM certified floodplain manager. WEI performs steady and unsteady 1-dimensional analyses, and through association, 2-dimensional analyses as well.
