“I’ve had great opportunities to work on amazing projects to solve all kinds of engineering challenges with some of the best people in our industry. It has been a true honor. I look forward to working on new challenges where we can apply innovative solutions to advance how civil engineers work for future generations.”
Water resources

Water is a precious resource, and we relate to your desire for environmental stewardship. That’s why we do everything possible to help you protect nature while building and serving your community.
With our history of helping government agencies and private entities responsibly manage their water resources, our team focuses our experience, technical knowledge and advanced resources on preserving the planet while delivering the sensible, defensible designs that keep your projects cost effective and on schedule.
We care about your project and the environment
With professional engineers licensed nationwide, Hanson has the on-the-ground experience necessary to advance your water resources project. Our teams help navigate the permitting issues that can impede progress. By prioritizing sensible, right-sized solutions, we help you achieve project goals, meet regulations and protect our waterways.

Hydraulic modeling across dimensions
We are known for performing complex hydraulic analyses, often faster than through conventional means. Your project deserves a range of options, and we use HEC-RAS software to perform one-dimensional, two-dimensional and computational fluid dynamics hydraulic modeling, depending on need.
Dams
Your operations, maintenance and emergency-action planning meet our modeling capabilities to create secure, lasting dam designs.
Bridges
Safety and environmental responsibility are your primary concerns when building or rehabilitating a waterway crossing, and they are our top priorities, from the first site surveys and geotechnical investigations to the final design and construction support.

Watersheds
Complying with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and minimizing disruptions to the public areas around your project are critical. We address these needs while delivering sound designs for stormwater collection and delivering hydraulic and hydrologic modeling solutions that support a comprehensive approach to watershed management.
Water supply
Clean water is a necessity for your community, and our team specializes in providing clean water from the earliest stages of water storage planning and distribution through water-quality evaluations.
Rivers
Protecting and managing our rivers is paramount. We offer you the following services for projects involving these waterways:
- dredging design
- river engineering
- flood studies
- Federal Emergency Management Agency studies
- Letter of Map Amendment and Letter of Map Revision submittals
- stormwater and floodplain management ordinance consultation
- navigation improvements
- stream bank stabilization and erosion control
- stream gaging
- sedimentation studies
