W. W. Wheeler & Associates, Inc. has an extensive portfolio of water conveyance systems. Projects include pipelines, canal/open channel systems, pump stations and hydraulic structures such as energy dissipaters, intake systems, penstocks for hydropower generation for industrial, agricultural, and municipal uses. State-of-the-art computer models and GIS databases are used to perform hydrology and hydraulic engineering analyses. Water hammer analyses are conducted for penstocks and hydraulic modeling of water distribution systems and transmission pipelines. W. W. Wheeler engineers also utilize cutting-edge water balance models for open pit or underground mining applications.
