Easing the Permitting Process

Prioritizing permitting requirements during the design process is standard practice at Klingner. As an established river engineering firm, we frequently work with USACE, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and State Natural Resources and Conservation Departments. We also increase the chances of obtaining project permits by analyzing hydraulic and hydrologic models throughout a project – highlighting each solution’s potential impacts. Reducing the likelihood of negative consequences is both responsible design and an important way we ease the permitting process.

Integrated Geotechnical Services

Our Engineers execute settlement, seepage, and slope stability modeling through the collection of subsurface data from drill rigs owned and operated by Geotechnics, a Division of Klingner. These modeling efforts are uniquely beneficial to properties protected by levees and floodwalls as Klingner utilizes the model outputs in the design and permitting of seepage relief systems (relief wells, cutoff walls, etc.), slope stability improvements, and other modifications. The result is a more robust flood protection system.

The Best of Both Worlds

Work with someone who knows the region. The professionals at Klingner have been working in your area for decades, giving them both the expertise and the topographical knowledge to see that your project is done right.
