The rivers interact with infrastructure developed by man to satisfy their needs and continuously improve their quality of life.
IA has acquired the experience to develop fluvial projects of magnitude, meeting the criterion of maximum life and minimum cost
during the life cycle of the antropic intervention.
THEORETICAL RIVER HYDRAULICS
APPLIED RIVER HYDRAULICS
THEORETICAL RIVER HYDRAULICS
- Studies of river geo-morphology, with emphasis in the multi temporal analysis of the stability of margins and the displacement of channels, from the interpretation of aerial photographs and satellite images.
- Hydrographic and hydraulic field studies.
- Estimation of flow rates and levels for different recurrences (HEC models and own models).
- Estimation of widespread erosion in riverbeds and local undermining by the introduction of obstacles (piles of bridges, various defences, etc.).
- Evaluation of hydrodynamic forces on structures immersed in water currents.
APPLIED RIVER HYDRAULICS
- Master plans for flood control and storm drainage.
- Design of channel stabilization and margin protection. We have special experience in courses of great slope where there is pulsating flow.
- Designing the lining of waterways and channels, always considering the wide range of possible solutions, from the use of local materials to the use of the latest technological innovations. The criterion is always to look for the maximum useful life and the minimum cost during the life cycle of the protection.
- Hydraulic bridge design.
- Design of river crossings of pipelines and elaboration of the respective monitoring programs.
- Design of river ports.
- Studies of dredging and navigation in rivers.
