Coastal, Hydraulic & Stormwater Engineering

From coastlines to storm drains: modeling and analysis that turns flood risk into clear, defensible decisions.

Who We Support

Neelon Engineering Solutions works with public agencies, engineering firms, and project teams that require specialized expertise in coastal processes, hydraulic and stormwater systems, and water-related infrastructure.

Prime Consultants

Specialized subconsulting support for multidisciplinary engineering teams, providing coastal and stormwater modeling, hydraulic analysis, technical review, and proposal-phase technical contributions.

Public Agencies

Support for municipalities, county stormwater programs, state agencies and infrastructure programs needing flood risk evaluations, drainage and pond retrofit studies, coastal engineering studies, and technical documentation for planning and decision-making.

Project Teams

Technical expertise for waterfront and water-adjacent infrastructure projects, helping teams understand water-structure interaction, drainage capacity, environmental forces, and flood risk factors affecting project design.

Typical Engagements

Engineering Studies

  • Coastal and hydraulic modeling studies
  • Flood risk and sea-level rise assessments
  • Storm surge and extreme event evaluation

Stormwater & Drainage

  • Storm drain capacity analysis (EPA SWMM)
  • Stormwater pond and BMP retrofit evaluation
  • Green infrastructure and flood mitigation alternatives

Field Assessments

  • Shoreline and waterfront condition assessments
  • Site inspections for water-adjacent infrastructure
  • Erosion and drainage evaluations

Technical Documentation

  • Engineering memoranda and reports
  • Proposal-phase technical support
  • Interactive maps and briefings for decision makers

Infrastructure Evaluation

  • Technical review of marine and coastal structures
  • Water-infrastructure interaction analysis
  • Conceptual recommendations for mitigation or repair

Featured project · Germantown Park Drainage Study

Where does Germantown Park flood, and what would fix it?

An EPA SWMM model of 80 acres of storm drains and ponds, built from public county, LiDAR and soils data. It tests bigger ponds, a larger main pipe and rain gardens, and shows the results on an interactive street map.
