Johnson & Associates’ recognizes that storm water management is a critical component of many projects therefore we are proud to offer Hydrologic and Hydraulic Engineering services.

Our Hydrologic and Hydraulic Engineering Department has the experience and expertise to make recommendations for solutions that are cost effective, environmentally friendly, and reduce downstream impacts. J&A has performed numerous flood studies to FEMA standards using HEC-1, HEC-2 and HEC-RAS programs. J&A utilizes GIS information to determine watershed parameters, soil-types, ground cover, impermeable areas, digital terrain models, and more. Our stormwater engineering team has vast experience in data collection for stormwater systems, cross sections, stream evaluations, photo archives, and mapping needed to determine water surface elevations, hydraulic grade lines, floodway limits, and finish floor elevations.

AT J&A we make the environment a priority. We evaluate the site conditions and clients’ needs to determine the best solutions that will mitigate the downstream impacts to the pre-developed conditions. Our engineers are experts with a wide range of hydraulic/hydrologic computer programing technology which allows us to model closed pipe and open channel systems, including Haestad Methods StormCad, PondPak, HEC packages listed previously, Flowmaster, Hydro, Hydrain, and HydroCad.

We have provided designs for local developments as well as regional retention/detention lakes for large industrial parks. We have assisted cities and various clients with design solutions to mitigate flooding of streets and homes. Many of our detention designs include a “first flush” wetland area for water quality treatment, low impact designs, rain gardens, or other measures to reduce impacts from developments.
