As a trusted partner to Water Management Districts and environmental agencies, we support responsible water resource planning and investment. Our team brings deep expertise in large-scale stormwater systems, watershed modeling, and climate-driven resilience strategies that protect natural resources while strengthening communities.

View Project Experience

Water shapes the communities where we live, work, and thrive.

From protecting natural systems and managing stormwater to improving water quality and strengthening resilience, thoughtful planning and engineering are essential to balancing growth with environmental stewardship. ChenMoore partners with public agencies, municipalities, and private clients to deliver innovative water resources solutions that protect people, preserve ecosystems, and prepare communities for the future.

Our multidisciplinary team combines technical expertise with practical experience to address complex watershed, drainage, flood mitigation, resilience, and environmental challenges throughout the Southeast. Whether restoring natural systems, improving aging infrastructure, or planning for tomorrow’s climate realities, we help clients make informed decisions that enhance water quality, reduce risk, and create more resilient communities.

Water Works

Florida’s unique hydrology demands infrastructure capable of managing both extreme rainfall and extended dry periods. Large-scale water works are essential for flood protection, water supply, environmental stewardship, and the long-term resilience of our communities.

ChenMoore provides planning, engineering, and construction support for complex water works infrastructure, including canals, pump stations, gated control structures, impoundments, and regional conveyance systems. Our multidisciplinary team develops practical, sustainable solutions that safely move, store, and manage water while improving operational reliability and protecting natural systems.

From new facilities to the rehabilitation of aging infrastructure, we help clients deliver resilient water management systems that support economic growth, environmental sustainability, and the evolving needs of Florida and the Southeast.

I think the second version aligns better with the voice you’re establishing across the new website—more authoritative, less narrative, and focused on capabilities rather than explaining why water infrastructure exists.

Hydrologic & Hydraulic Modeling

Understanding how water moves across and beneath the landscape is critical to developing effective, resilient infrastructure. ChenMoore uses advanced hydrologic and hydraulic modeling to evaluate flooding, drainage, watershed performance, and water management challenges at the local, regional, and watershed scales.

Our team applies a wide range of industry-leading modeling tools, from one-dimensional hydraulic analyses to fully integrated two-dimensional surface water and groundwater models. These data-driven analyses help clients better understand existing conditions, evaluate future scenarios, and make informed decisions that reduce flood risk and improve system performance.

Beyond technical analysis, we translate complex modeling results into clear maps, visualizations, and actionable recommendations that support stakeholder engagement and project prioritization. Our models frequently serve as the foundation for capital improvement planning by identifying flood mitigation projects, developing conceptual designs, and preparing planning-level cost estimates that help clients secure funding and implement long-term resilience strategies.

Sea Level Rise & Resiliency

As sea levels continue to rise, coastal communities face increasing challenges from tidal flooding, storm surge, groundwater intrusion, and aging infrastructure. Designing resilient infrastructure requires solutions that perform today while adapting to tomorrow’s conditions.

ChenMoore integrates resilience planning into the evaluation and design of infrastructure by assessing projected sea level rise, asset criticality, service life, and site-specific conditions. Our team develops practical, cost-effective strategies that reduce risk while maximizing long-term performance. Depending on a project’s needs, solutions may include elevating or hardening critical infrastructure, incorporating flood-resistant design features, planning for future system expansion, or implementing adaptable infrastructure that can evolve as conditions change.

Our multidisciplinary approach combines engineering, modeling, and environmental planning to deliver resilient, sustainable solutions for coastal and inland communities alike. From stormwater outfalls and pump stations to green infrastructure, living shorelines, bioswales, and nature-based solutions, we help clients protect public investments while enhancing community resilience and environmental stewardship.

Neighborhood & Municipal Drainage

Effective stormwater management begins with understanding how water moves through a community. ChenMoore helps municipalities identify the causes of localized flooding, evaluate system performance, and develop practical, long-term solutions that improve resilience and protect public infrastructure.

Using advanced surveying, hydraulic modeling, and data-driven analysis, our team evaluates existing drainage systems and develops comprehensive stormwater improvement strategies. From neighborhood drainage enhancements to community-wide master plans, we design solutions that reduce flood risk, improve water quality, and support sustainable growth.

Our experience includes the planning, design, and construction of detention and retention facilities, bioswales, exfiltration systems, pump stations, conveyance improvements, and other stormwater infrastructure. Every solution is developed with a focus on technical performance, regulatory requirements, constructability, budget, and long-term value, allowing clients to confidently prioritize and implement capital improvements that meet both current needs and future challenges.
