COASTAL, RIVERINE HYDRAULIC STRUCTURE DESIGN
Weston & Sampson brings the latest in coastal resources and climate resilience science to our many coastal and riverine design projects. Whether we are designing a living shorelines, developing climate resilient waterfront shorelines, or evaluating future sea level rise impacts along rivers, we are using the latest in hydrology, hydraulics and climate science to ensure that our design projects are sustainable far into the future. Municipal infrastructure including roads, buildings, drinking water, wastewater, stormwater and coastal features are all threatened by the impacts of extreme precipitation, sea level rise and storm surges. Our scientists and engineers can ensure that infrastructure planned, designed and built today will stand ready to perform well into this century.

Using Stormwater Infiltration to Improve Water Quality in Rhode Island - Jim Riordan's article in NEREJ titled, "Using stormwater Infiltration to Improve Water Quality in Rhode Island," describes the Stormwater Best Management Practices that the town of North Providence is implementing to alleviate the flooding and water quality issues in the area.
Modeling & Green Infrastructure Design Helps Reduce Nuisance Flooding in Major Commercial Area - Andrew Walker, PH, CFM and James Pearson, PE co-authored an article in Stormwater Solutions entitled “Modeling & Green Infrastructure Design Helps Reduce Nuisance Flooding in Major Commercial Area." Climate change-driven increases in future precipitation are predicted to make flooding worse, leading to a redesign of the John Fitch Highway that will make the community more climate resilient.
