Bridge Hydraulics and Scour
Ensuring bridge structures are of sufficient size, that natural flooding is not worsened, and the structures can withstand the design flood remaining traversable are of extreme importance in keeping communities connected. It is no secret that bridge scour is the largest cause of bridge failure in the United States. At Vortex we focus on accurate prediction of design scour depths for bridges over riverine waterways keeping costs in check and the safety of the public as our number one priority.
PD&E Studies
Carefully following the process outlined in the Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) Manual of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, Vortex provides services to complete Pond Siting Reports (PSR), Location Hydraulic Reports (LHR), and Bridge Hydraulic Reports (BHR) for any roadway facility ranging from interstates, arterials, collectors and local roads.
Roadway Drainage Design
Vortex provides engineering services for all aspects of roadway drainage design including storm drain systems, retention/detention facilities, ditches, cross drains, side drains, optional culvert materials, and floodplain impacts and mitigation. We use the most advanced stormwater design technology to avoid errors and omissions and deliver a high-quality product to our clients.
Standard Engineering Reviews
It is essential that Technical Reviewers check to see that applied standards, codes, and design criteria are appropriate for the project under review. We ensure that the appropriate methodology is applied correctly and verify the accuracy of calculations. At Vortex we understand review processes are critical for quality assurance through our vast experience in reviews of drainage connection permits, roadway plans, LHRs, PSRs and BHRs.
