Natural Systems
River Engineering, Floodplain & Sediment Management
NHC’s first project in 1972 involved hydraulic and sediment analysis of water crossings along the Alyeska pipeline. Nearly 50 years later, river engineering remains central to our identity and our business.
NHC investigates and analyzes rivers and floodplains ranging in size from small urban streams to the world’s largest rivers, in geomorphic settings from alluvial fans to major river deltas.
We participate in floodplain reconnection and restoration projects, evaluate channel and reservoir sedimentation, and assess impacts of natural or engineered channel modifications on long-term stability and physical and biological function.
