Ecological Water Resource Infrastructure
Our water resource infrastructure solutions are designed to manage water effectively without sacrificing ecological balance. We specialize in developing and constructing resilient, intelligent, infrastructure that ensures efficient water use and environmental protection.
Water Diversion Infrastructure - We design and install infrastructure for diverting water, integrating engineering with ecology, biology, and talented equipment operators to satisfy the needs of the client and the system itself. We believe humans and rivers can work well together and perhaps nowhere is this more obvious than well designed diversions.
Hydraulic Stability - Our expertise in hydraulic stability comes from years of building projects in Colorado that experience extreme hydraulic forces. We have learned well how to build durable, stable structures that guarantee operational reliability. Consistency and resiliency across all flow regimes is crucial for maintaining water conveyance efficiency and safety.
Floodplain Management - We manage floodplains to mitigate flood risks and enhance ecosystem resilience. Our strategies include floodplain restoration and flood management infrastructure that balance flood control requirements with ecological benefits.
Fish Passable Diversions - We excel at designing and building diversions that allow fish to move safely throughout river systems, maintaining spatial heterogeneity, fluvial connectivity and supporting migratory species at all life stages. These structures use fish-friendly designs to minimize impacts on fish populations and aquatic habitats while maintaining reliable water conveyance in all conditions.
Fish Screens - Installing fish screens helps prevent fish and other fauna from entering diversion structures, ensuring water diversion operations do not harm aquatic life. FlyWater has the capability to retrofit existing infrastructure with these screens or design and install them on new infrastructure.
Boat Passage - As a company of enthusiastic boaters, we particularly enjoy the opportunity to facilitate safe boater passage. Much like our other work with diversions, we both update existing structures as well as design and build new ones to accommodate all user groups.
