His experience covers virtually all phases of the design process, including feasibility studies, planning studies, preliminary design, preparation of bidding documents, and forensic analysis.
Craig Maske, P.E. is a Project Manager with Dodson & Associates and has over ten years of experience managing projects in both the public and private sector. He has had experience performing flood studies and drainage planning and analyses for public and private sector clients, including the design and construction of site work projects and flood control facilities.
Andy Yung, P.E. is a Vice President and Senior Hydrologist with Dodson & Associates. Mr. Yung has a wide range of experience both managing and designing projects involving the fields of hydrology and hydraulics, dam safety investigations, detention facility designs, master drainage studies, channel improvement and hydraulic structure designs, and watershed impact analyses. | Back to Top | | | | | Introduction to HEC-RAS
The HEC-RAS modeling system was developed as part of the Hydrologic Engineering Center’s “Next Generation” (NexGen) hydrologic engineering software. The program is one of the most extensively tested civil engineering computer programs ever developed. HEC-RAS incorporates several aspects of hydraulic modeling, including water surface profile computations, bridge hydraulics, and one-dimensional steady flow. It can interface with geographic information systems to automate the development of cross section data and plot flood plains.
This seminar-on-CD provides an overview and demonstration of the Hydraulic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) software with a focus on HEC-RAS capabilities. It discusses the history and purpose of HEC-RAS. Current capabilities are covered in detail and future enhancements are highlighted. Comparisons are made between HEC-2 and HEC-RAS. Getting started with a HEC-RAS model will be presented along with many example modeling situations that are included with the program. The course contains the same class materials provided at the live seminar, including the HEC-RAS and HEC-GeoRAS User’s Manuals and software installation and a HEC-RAS Quick Reference Guide. Earn 0.4 CEUs (4 PDHs). Introduction to HEC-HMS
This seminar-on-CD is an overview and demonstration of the Hydraulic Engineering Center’s Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) software. It is intended primarily for those already familiar with hydrologic watershed models such as HEC-1, TR-20, or SWMM. The focus is on new HEC-HMS capabilities, such as the powerful graphical interface and the ability to use new data sets such as NEXRAD weather radar data and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). While his seminar is a comprehensive overview and demonstration of the HEC-HMS software, it does not cover all of the fundamentals of watershed hydrologic analysis. This course contains the same class materials provided at the live seminar, including HEC-HMS and HEC-GeoHMS User’s Manuals and software installation. Earn 0.4 CEUs (4 PDHs) The FEMA National Flood Insurance Program: Local, Regional, and Technical Issues – Newly Updated Program!
This seminar provides an overview of how the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) works from the standpoint of the local community officials and engineering consultants who must comply with the program. An introduction to the program is provided, along with details of how flood insurance studies are performed and how study results can be revised as needed.
The NFIP is a federal program enabling property owners to purchase insurance protection against losses from flooding. This insurance is designed to provide an alternative to disaster assistance and to meet the escalating costs of repairing damage to buildings and their contents caused by floods. The NFIP is administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).Participation in the NFIP is based on an agreement between local communities and the federal government. Earn 0.6 CEUs (6 PDHs) Hands-On HEC-1 Seminar
This hands-on HEC-1 seminar is a comprehensive introduction to watershed modeling using HEC-1 and also includes introductions to HEC-HMS, HERC-Geo HMS and LIDAR Data. HEC-1 computes hydrographs for both simple and complex stream systems. It can be used for designing storm water detention basins, analyzing large reservoirs, performing dam-breach analyses, and computing urban runoff using kinematic wave methods. It provides several methods for computing precipitation distributions, infiltration losses, unit hydrographs, channel routing, and other basic hydrologic computations. The course includes seminar slide handouts, Hands-On HEC-1 book, HMR52 User’s Manual, and software installation. Earn 0.4 CEUs (4 PDHs) NPDES Storm Water Permit Compliance: Construction, General, and Municipal Topics
This seminar provides practical and useful information for complying with the EPA’s most recent requirements for storm water discharge permits issued for construction, industrial and municipal activities. This CD focuses on construction topics. Earn 0.5 CEUs (5 PDHs) NPDES Storm Water Permit Compliance: Industrial, General, and Municipal Topics
This seminar focuses on industrial topics but also discusses general and municipal topics. Earn 0.6 CEUs (6 PDHs) GIS in Water Resources – New Program!
Instructor: David R. Maidment, P.E. Geographic Information System technology, more commonly referred to as GIS, has been used for many years to develop solutions to water resource problems. Assessing water quality, determining water availability, preventing flooding, understanding the natural environment, and managing water resources on a local or regional scale are just some of the tools discussed.
This continuing education course is made up of twelve sessions from lectures that David Maidment presents during his graduate level course entitled GIS in Water Resources. The sessions contained on this CD were recorded at the University of Texas at Austin. David is also the Director of the Center for Research in Water Resources at the University.
This seminar-on-CD is geared toward those wanting to learn about the basics of GIS and how it can be used as a vital tool in the field of water resources.
Class materials included on this CD are slide handouts that can be printed and used for taking notes during a session, and a quiz that can be completed to earn continuing education units.
This CD also includes links to “Data Sources on the Internet”. This is an excellent resource for locating a specific type of data that you may need for a project. A link is also provided to the latest edition of GIS Hydro, a website that includes exercises used during GIS in Water Resources graduate course, along with the term papers produced by students in that course, and the digital Library where digital copies of reports and theses of research pertaining to the application of GIS in Water Resources are presented.
