Stormwater/Dam Safety
Timmons Group’s portfolio features many civil engineering designs related to stormwater management, including dam design, inspection and rehabilitation; stream restoration; and designs to mitigate safety issues and the control of wildlife and invasive vegetation near BMPs. We work with public and private clients to develop stormwater management programs and evaluate stormwater best management practice (BMP) options. Our civil engineers have experience implementing Low Impact Development (LID) measures for public facilities, as well as comprehensive watershed management studies incorporating the most progressive BMP technologies and LID practices available.
