Flood Studies & Drainage Plans

Dyer Engineering

At Dyer Engineering, we specialize in providing comprehensive flood studies and drainage plans to ensure safe, efficient, and sustainable land development.

As a leading civil engineering firm in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, we understand the challenges posed by stormwater management, flooding risks, and drainage concerns. Our team of experienced engineers develops customized solutions that not only comply with regulatory standards but also protect properties, infrastructure, and the environment.

Whether you are developing a commercial, residential, or industrial project, or working on a public infrastructure project, having a well-planned flood study and drainage system is crucial to preventing flood-related damage, ensuring safety, and maintaining regulatory compliance.

Our Flood Studies & Drainage Plan Services

Dyer Engineering offers a full range of flood study and drainage planning services to meet the needs of developers, property owners, municipalities, and public agencies. Our services include:

Hydrologic & Hydraulic (H&H) Studies

We conduct detailed hydrologic and hydraulic studies to analyze water flow patterns and flood risks in a given area. Our H&H studies include:

  • Rainfall and runoff analysis to evaluate stormwater impact
  • Watershed modeling to predict flood behavior
  • Floodplain delineation and risk assessment
  • Mitigation strategies to prevent infrastructure and property damage

Using state-of-the-art modeling software, we ensure that all recommendations are based on accurate data and reliable engineering methodologies.

Floodplain Analysis & FEMA Compliance

Navigating FEMA floodplain regulations is essential for land development projects near flood-prone areas. Our floodplain analysis services include:

  • FEMA Flood Map Revisions (LOMRs and CLOMRs)
  • Base Flood Elevation (BFE) determinations
  • Flood mitigation planning for at-risk developments
  • Coordination with local, state, and federal agencies

We help clients avoid costly floodplain violations while ensuring that their projects comply with FEMA, NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program), and local flood control district requirements.

Stormwater Management & Drainage Design

Proper stormwater management prevents flooding, soil erosion, and infrastructure damage. Our stormwater drainage design services include:

  • Detention and retention pond design to control runoff
  • Storm sewer and culvert sizing for efficient drainage
  • Low Impact Development (LID) solutions for eco-friendly stormwater control
  • Best Management Practices (BMPs) for water quality improvement

We design cost-effective and sustainable drainage solutions that enhance project functionality while meeting environmental regulations.

Erosion & Sediment Control Plans

Uncontrolled stormwater runoff can cause severe soil erosion and sediment displacement, leading to environmental degradation and property damage. Our erosion and sediment control services include:

  • Silt fences, sediment traps, and erosion barriers
  • Grading and slope stabilization strategies
  • Soil conservation techniques for long-term site sustainability
  • Compliance with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations

By implementing effective erosion control measures, we protect land integrity and water quality while preventing regulatory violations.

Drainage Impact Studies for Development Projects

Before starting a new development, it’s essential to assess how stormwater runoff and drainage patterns will be affected. Our drainage impact studies provide:

  • Pre- and post-development stormwater flow analysis
  • Evaluation of off-site drainage impacts
  • Identification of necessary drainage infrastructure improvements
  • Permitting assistance and regulatory approvals

These studies ensure that your development project will not contribute to flooding or drainage issues in surrounding areas.

Flood Mitigation & Infrastructure Protection

In areas prone to flooding, proactive flood mitigation planning is crucial. Our flood mitigation solutions include:

  • Levee and floodwall design for property protection
  • Drainage channel improvements to manage floodwaters effectively
  • Green infrastructure solutions to enhance stormwater absorption
  • Floodproofing recommendations for buildings and infrastructure

By designing and implementing strategic flood protection measures, we help reduce risks and protect investments in flood-prone regions.
