hydrology & hydraulic ENGINEERING
The firm is a recognized leader in
the Water Resources field. It leads
the profession in the development and
implementation of innovative technology in Puerto Rico, and its expertise
in fluvial sedimentation is recognized
internationally. Analysis tools include
steady and unsteady, 1 and 2 dimensional flow models for both water and
sediment transport. The types of analysis performed includes:
Hydraulic analysis of existing and
proposed potable water transmission and distribution systems. GLM
has performed a wide range of potable
water distribution system designs,
inlcuding ground water wells, pump
stations, gravity and pressure systems.
Fluvial sedimentation analysis
and design including sediment
management at instream structures including both large and small
intakes, bridge scour, and streambank erosion. The firm is unique in its
successful application of geomorphic
principles to create innovative designs
such as non-sedimenting intakes,
offstream reservoirs, and sustainable
solutions to riverbank erosion.
Riverine and dambreak flood analysis including determination of
flood levels and limits, design of
protective measures, and regulatory floodplain mapping and map
changes in compliance with local
and federal (FEMA) regulations.
Urban stormwater management
including design of stormwater
collection systems, low-impact
systems, and storm water detention facilities.
