Water Resources
Project details
Inundation mapping, hazard assessments, and emergency action plan development supporting forest service dam safety compliance.

Dams, Levees, Severe Flooding, and Geotechnical Services
Aterra Solutions provides geotechnical investigations, geostructural engineering, water resource engineering, and severe flooding analysis with an emphasis on safety and technical excellence. Recognizing that understanding subsurface conditions is critical to construction success, the practice delivers a comprehensive suite of site investigation and engineering analysis services. It provides custom designs for foundations, earth retention systems, dams, and levees, alongside advanced flood hazard modeling for critical infrastructure.
Joe BelliniSubject Matter Expert (SME)
Comprehensive engineering services supporting dam safety and performance standards. Capabilities span dam safety assessments, rehabilitation analysis, and full design under the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Watershed Rehabilitation Program.
Sophisticated flood hazard re-evaluations, flood protection assessments, and mitigation strategies for nuclear facilities. Services include Probabilistic Flood Hazard Assessments at low annual exceedance probabilities and specialized deterministic modeling.
Technical evaluation and documentation in compliance with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and FEMA guidelines. Evaluations cover stability and seepage, freeboard, management of interior drainage, and operations and maintenance components.
Work in this area is organized into supported delivery tasks.

Support includes mapping.
Support includes mitigation requirements.
Support includes Work in this area is organized into supported delivery tasks.
Design and permitting services for stormwater systems, including erosion and sediment control planning and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System compliance.
Civil and geostructural design support tailored for transportation infrastructure, including pavement and slab-on-grade design.
Integrated geotechnical and structural services combining disciplines to ensure projects rest on strong foundations, are structurally sound, and are cost-effective to construct.
Techniques including drilling, test borings, rock coring, groundwater wells, in situ testing, air track probes, test pits, and geophysical testing.
Analysis of earthwork, subgrade preparation, slope stability, lateral earth pressure, bearing capacity, settlement, and rockfall hazard mitigation.
Design of deep and shallow foundations, micropiles, augercast piles, drilled shafts, driven piles, support of excavation (SOE), sheet pile walls, soil nail walls, and mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls.
