Rick Engineering Company’s Water Resources Division was created in 1978 in response to our clients’ increasing demand for hydrologic and hydraulic analyses. An established, integral part of the company, the group offers widely ranging experience in surface runoff modeling, flood control design, hydraulic and sediment transport analyses, urban drainage design, FEMA floodplain mapping and processing, and storm water quality modeling and design.

Our expertise brings enormous value to clients faced with complex drainage constraints; clients and projects come from public agencies, private developers, and individual property owners.
