Regulator-grade civil engineering delivered for Texas cities, counties, state, and federal agencies — with a platform layer in active development.
Our practice serves Texas cities, counties, state agencies, and federal clients across the full water-resources and infrastructure lifecycle. Eight service lines, organized into three working groups.
Strategic planning to reduce flood risk and enhance community resilience.
Hydrology and hydraulics, watershed modeling (HEC-HMS / HEC-RAS 2D), stormwater systems, culvert and bridge hydraulics, scour and sediment transport analysis.
Planning and implementation of real-time flood monitoring and warning systems.
FEMA CLOMR/LOMR submittals and city / county development permitting.
Dam safety evaluations, advanced 2D coastal flood modeling, and evacuation planning.
Road drainage, channel improvements, stormwater management, and land development support.
Development permit review, county engineering services, and technical advisory.
Flood risk strategy, FEMA compliance modeling, capital improvement planning, and agency coordination.
Ongoing collaboration with UT Austin, Texas A&M, USGS, and Harris County Flood Control District — bringing next-generation flood forecasting and AI-driven modeling into operational practice.
Extreme flood hazards, resilience and adaptation, vulnerability and risk assessment, coastal and nearshore processes, and nature-based solutions.
Real-time flood intelligence, dynamic inundation mapping, early warning systems, and operational decision support.
AI-enhanced modeling, GeoAI applications, data fusion, and physics-based simulation for smarter, predictive infrastructure solutions.
Technology validation, prototype development, and watershed-scale implementation that bring innovation into practice.
The Platform is HERO E&C's forward-looking business line, currently in active development. The components below describe what we are building — they are not yet shipped, and we will say so plainly until they are. Engagements today are billed under the engineering and research lines above.
Integrated engineering data, modeling, and decision support for smarter infrastructure planning.
A streamlined approach from analysis and design through permitting and implementation.
On-demand engineering teams, integrated collaboration, resource matching, workflow automation, and centralized project dashboards.
From flood-risk and drainage to FEMA permitting and on-call advisory — our team is ready to scope your next engagement.
