h&h.
Wallace Design Collective utilizes advanced hydraulic models to manage floodplains, plan watersheds and assess drainage systems.
We embrace innovation and develop new solutions for both large-scale riverine flooding and localized community issues. We prioritize quality through effective, sustainable, and long-lasting design in the face of increasingly severe weather events.
planning.
Comprehensive flood resilience planning safeguards your community and optimizes budgetary considerations. Our in-depth studies prioritize the most costeffective solutions, analyzing alternatives and maximizing your return on investment. We understand the importance of sustainable practices, seamlessly integrating low-impact development throughout the planning process to qualify for grants and protect your environment.
