Boyle understands the hidden complexities of flood control and has the staff to plan and design facilities capable of conveying, retaining, and draining stormwater.

With many years of service to clients in major metropolitan areas, Boyle understands that diverting stormwater runoff in one community could increase the likelihood of flooding for downstream communities. Therefore, our approach is to look at the big picture and address flood-control from a regional perspective. Our view of the process extends beyond the basic issue of routing water, and it takes into account the protection of structures from scour and erosion, prevention of excessive siltation, and preservation of wildlife habitats and recreational areas.

Whether a client is looking for design assistance with everyday flood-control facilities such as channels, pipelines, canals, and diversion structures, or a more elaborate multiple-component/multiple-use system, Boyle has the experience and personnel to exceed expectations. It’s no coincidence that clients like the Denver Urban Drainage and Flood Control District and the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District have retained our services under multiyear on-call contracts, or that Sarasota County in Florida turned to Boyle for a high-profile project that centered on the rehabilitation of wetlands with diverted stormwater.
