Alden - Hydraulic Modeling
Alden’s Hydraulic Modeling Group has been conducting model studies since 1894 to solve flow problems for utilities, engineering firms, the federal government, and vendors of hydraulic equipment. To offer the most effective method for fluid flow analysis, Alden has combined a century-long history of solving flow problems using physical models with innovative, state-of-the-art Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
Brownfields Redevelopment
Brownfields is the industry term for abandoned and underutilized sites with environmental concerns that complicate the reuse of the property. Brownfield sites offer potential opportunities for redevelopment as retail, commercial, residential, and industrial centers. Cleaning up and reinvesting in these properties is essential to revitalizing communities and reducing development pressure on undeveloped land. As a result, brownfields cleanup and redevelopment programs have been established on both the state and federal level, to provide economic incentives and liability protections to potential redevelopers.JMS assists private parties, municipalities, developers and businesses in the assessment, cleanup, and restoration of brownfields properties to productive use. The key to successful redevelopment of a brownfields project is the coordination of the remediation with the redevelopment of the property. JMS makes coordination the central focus of our work, enabling clients to reach their project objectives in the most practical way possible.
Water Resources
HSW Engineering, Inc. has extensive experience in the planning, management and development of water supply needs/sources; water treatment and water conservation programs such as safe aquifer yield determination, establishment of minimum flows and levels, water distribution system design and optimization, watershed modeling and flood area delineation, stormwater conveyance, environmental remediation evaluation, design and optimization, environmental forensics, nutrient and sediment transport and estuarine systems.
Site Investigation and Remediation
The effective investigation and remediation of real property requires a combination of technical knowledge and a thorough understanding of applicable regulatory criteria. These same fundamental requirements apply whether a property is being investigated pursuant to the requirements of the Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA), the Voluntary Cleanup Program, the Bureau of Underground Storage Tank (BUST), or any of the other numerous federal and state regulatory programs.JMS provides comprehensive site investigation and remediation services, from initial site characterization through final regulatory approval. By listening carefully to our clients’ objectives and utilizing proven science and engineering practices, JMS is able to develop practical solutions that are unique to each client`s needs. The work we do at JMS is fully supported by comprehensive data analysis, modeling and professional documentation.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) For Numeric Modeling
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a reliable, cost-effective tool for solving many complex flow-related problems involving liquid and gas flows, hydraulic flows, heat and mass transfer, as well as particles and sprays. The numeric modeling staff at Alden offers decades of combined experience in CFD modeling and simulation of flow-related problems from a wide range of industries, as well as considerable experience in physical modeling, testing, and field studies. This unique combination of expertise and experience allows Alden to provide cost-effective, practical solutions to our clients’ flow problems.
