Field and Hydrologic Engineering Services

The Hydrological Services Division provides a wide range of consulting services from installation and start up of a gaging station, to complete operation, data collection analysis and reporting for an entire hydromet network. Our engineers and technicians have provided services as close to home as a long term 14 station stream gaging discharge measurement program in the state of Ohio to US EPA and Georgia state cableway installations for TMDL's project, stage measurement gaging station installations with automated modem data reporting in New York State, acoustic velocity meter installation and training for the USGS in South Dakota, to field work, installations and training worldwide for countries such as Egypt, Panama, Nepal and Korea.
