Flood Control and Drainage

Watershed Master Plans and Drainage Studies

EEC professionals have spent years evaluating real life hydrologic field conditions, becoming familiar with the "ground truth" and determining what is really important when building a hydrologic model that simulates the natural processes of the watershed. They have built hydrologic models of urban environments, starting in the field with input parameters that result in realistic predictions of runoff on which to base practical cost-effective drainage designs. EEC engineers know how to apply hydraulic principles to drainage and flood control design in order to optimize solutions, save time, and reduce costs.

Service Areas Include:

  • Hydrology Studies/Analyses
  • Hydraulics Studies/Analyses
  • HEC-1, HEC-2, HEC-RAS
  • Watershed Master Plans
  • Drainage Studies

Project Experience:

Graveyard Gulch Detention Basin Facilities, Fort Huachuca, Arizona

EEC directed the hydrology and hydraulics study and detention facility design. The project involved the design of a 20-acre-foot detention basin and erosion control facilities used to mitigate erosion along Graveyard Gulch Wash located at Fort Huachuca.

Gila Bend Area Drainage Master Study, Maricopa County, Arizona

EEC identified drainage problems and developed alternative solutions for a 60 square mile area surrounding the Town of Gila Bend. Work included 27 stream miles of floodplain delineation.

City of Scottsdale On-Call Drainage Projects, Scottsdale, Arizona

EEC analyzed and developed solutions for local drainage problems.

South Rainbow Lake and Apache Cove Drainage Improvement Plan, Navajo City, Arizona

EEC prepared floodplain delineation for Walnut Creek and concept design for drainage improvements in a developed area of Pinetop-Lakeside.

Hartman Lane North of Cortaro Farms Road, Tucson, Arizona

EEC prepared the hydrology, the hydraulics study, and the design of the roadway crossing for this roadway drainage improvement consisting of a 16-cell box culvert and roadway dip crossing across Hardy Wash. EEC also performed the HEC-1, HEC-2, and hydraulic analyses.

City of Phoenix On-Call Drainage Projects, Phoenix, Arizona

EEC analyzed and developed solutions for local drainage problems.

Greely Hall Detention Basin and Drainage Improvements, Fort Huachuca, Arizona

EEC provided drainage analysis and design for a detention facility and storm drain improvements needed to mitigate flooding and erosion problems at Fort Huachuca.

Palm Valley Master Drainage Study, Phoenix, Arizona

EEC used HEC-1 models for the existing- and proposed-conditions hydrology and drainage schemes, including several regional detention basins.
