Agua Fria Engineering offers comprehensive field-to-finish solutions, supporting every stage of your project — from initial planning and design through construction oversight and post-project analysis.
Our full suite of engineering and construction project support services ensures that your projects are completed efficiently, effectively, and with lasting value.
Our expertise spans a wide range of disciplines, including engineering and design, construction phase engineering, and data collection, analysis, and mapping, with a focus on delivering practical, site-specific solutions rooted in technical excellence and environmental stewardship.
Our engineering and design services cover a diverse range of project types, from traditional acequia systems to modern stormwater infrastructure, river restoration projects, and recreational site development. We combine innovative design with practical construction knowledge, ensuring that each project is tailored to the site’s unique characteristics, community needs, and environmental context.
We specialize in the preservation and enhancement of traditional acequia systems, offering infrastructure assessments, planning, and design services for diversion structures, ditch reshaping, lining projects, irrigation pipelines, and storage ponds — blending modern engineering practices with the preservation of historic water systems.
Our river restoration services focus on restoring natural river processes, improving habitat, and enhancing floodplain connectivity. We design solutions such as large wood installations, riparian habitat enhancements, and aquatic organism passages to promote resilient, healthy waterways.
To protect both communities and natural systems, we design flood control solutions such as bank stabilization, grade control structures, and channel improvements, balancing flood mitigation with environmental enhancement.
Our civil and site design services cover everything from grading and stormwater plans to outdoor recreation sites and trail design, creating spaces that are functional, visually appealing, and environmentally responsible.
We provide tailored drainage solutions to manage stormwater runoff, mitigate erosion, and protect infrastructure. Our designs integrate natural and built systems to enhance site resilience and water quality.
Agua Fria Engineering provides comprehensive construction-phase services to ensure that project designs are implemented efficiently, accurately, and in compliance with applicable standards and funding requirements. Services are tailored to meet the needs of each project and client, offering technical guidance from contractor selection through final inspection and post-construction evaluation.
Assistance with preparing bid documents, soliciting qualified contractors, and evaluating bids to help clients navigate procurement processes and select the most suitable construction team.
Review and evaluation of contractor payment requests to verify quantities, track progress against the schedule of values, and ensure accurate and justified disbursement of funds.
Follow-up site assessments and performance evaluations to confirm the project is functioning as intended, identify any issues, and recommend adaptive measures if needed.
Site visits, construction observation, and coordination with contractors and stakeholders to confirm that work is performed in accordance with design plans, specifications, and best practices.
Accurate data is the foundation of every successful project, and Agua Fria Engineering offers a full range of data collection, analysis, and mapping services to support informed decision-making. From hydrographic and flow data collection to advanced modeling and GIS mapping, we deliver the high-quality data and analysis needed to guide project design, permitting, and construction.
We conduct detailed hydrographic surveys, including bathymetric data collection, river transects, longitudinal profiles, and sediment sampling, providing essential data for river restoration, floodplain mapping, and infrastructure planning.
Using industry-standard tools such as HEC-RAS (1D/2D), SWMM, and EPANET, we develop hydrologic and hydraulic models to simulate water movement and infrastructure performance, supporting flood analysis, stormwater management, and water system design.
We leverage GIS technology to develop detailed maps and spatial analyses, supporting land use planning, infrastructure siting, site suitability analysis, and water rights mapping, giving clients the spatial data they need to make informed project decisions.
Our UAS (drone) services capture aerial photography, videography, and ortho-mosaic imagery, along with photogrammetry and 3D modeling — providing valuable data for project planning, monitoring, and documentation. As an FAA Part 107 certified operator, we adhere to all federal, state, and local drone safety regulations to ensure safe and responsible data collection.
