Modern design office specializing in the implementation of BIM methodology in hydraulic engineering
Hydraulic modeling is one of the basic tools that engineers use to analyze the behavior of surface water in rivers, ditches, and floodplains. Thanks to the specialized HEC-RAS software, developed over many years by the Hydrologic Engineering Center of the US Army Corps of Engineers, it is possible to model phenomena related to water flow, which greatly facilitates the […]
In 2023, the International Association for Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering (IAHR) published a white paper entitled ‘The Role of Hydraulic Engineering in Support of Flood Mitigation and Resilience’. IAHR is a global organisation of engineers and scientists from over 70 countries specializing in hydraulics, hydrology and environmental engineering. The publication is the result of work […]
In common understanding, drainage is associated with drying. This is a misconception, as drainage facilities are used to regulate water relations in the soil through irrigation or drainage of the area. This improves crop growing conditions, increases agricultural productivity and protects against excessive moisture and flooding. The State Water Management Authority (Państwowe Gospodarstwo Wodne Wody […]
Tactic Knowledge, also known as hidden knowledge, is not easy to define and document. It is experience, intuition and skills acquired through practice. It is often equated with know-how, and indeed there are many similarities, but there are also important differences. In the hydrotechnical industry, such knowledge determines the quality of a project and the […]
Climate change and urbanisation are increasing the risk of flood and drought phenomena. Retention reservoirs are one effective solution to manage rainwater. The experience of September 2024 has shown that the construction of large retention reservoirs makes sense. Despite the high costs, including environmental costs, the construction of new reservoirs, which play an important role […]
The intensification of extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall or prolonged droughts, is leading to increasing risks. The climate is changing before our eyes and I don’t think anyone doubts that this is the ‘new normal’. How do we meet these challenges? What is climate change adaptation and how does the use of advanced […]
