Pinto Engineering, Inc. offers services in Hydrology and Hydraulics. The H&H staff at Pinto is dedicated to providing superior analysis, design and engineering services. Key services offered by the H&H division are as follows:
- Culvert analysis and design
- Surface runoff response analysis
- Water surface profiles
- Pipe, ditch and open channel analysis and design
- Detention pond analysis and design
- Stormwater management
- Flood analysis
To better serve the client, the H&H staff utilizes the following design tools:
- CULVERT ANALYSIS (HY-8): automates the design methods described in FHWA-IP-85-15 "Hydraulic Design Series No 5[HD55] "Hydraulic Design of Highway Culverts", September, 1985.
- HEC-I: is a model developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to simulate the surface runoff response of a river basin to precipitation by representing the basin as an interconnected system of hydrologic and hydraulic components
- HEC-RAS: is a model developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers capable of computing water surface profiles for steady, gradually varied flow in natural or man made channels considering the effects of obstructions such as bridges, culverts, and weirs.
- FLOWMASTER: is a model developed by HAESTAD methods for hydraulic design, analysis of pipes, ditches and open channels.
- TR 20-88: is a microcomputer version of the TR-20, Project Formulation-Hydrology Program model developed by the USDA, Soils Conservation Service (SCS).
- TR 55: is a model developed by the USDA, Soils Conservation Service (SCS) that implements either the Graphical Peak Discharge Method or the Tabular Hydrograph Method to determine the runoff of small watersheds
- POND-2: is a model that contains three mathematical models for detention pond design and analysis
- PSRM-87: is a model developed by the Pennsylvania State University to simulate peak flows during flood events in watersheds and identify critical subareas contributing accelerated runoff.
- PENN STATE HYDROLOGY: is a computer package that includes the following of hydrologic models for determination of peak flows during storm events: PDT-IDF, MINIEX, PSU-IV, USGS-IND.
- ACEC 24: is a spreadsheet on Lotus 123 for determination of normal depth of trapezoidal channels.
- ACEC 25: is a spreadsheet in Lotus 123 for monitoring ditch capacity.
- ACEC 26: is a spreadsheet in Lotus 123 for determination of pipe losses.
- ACEC 27: is a spreadsheet in Lotus 123 for determination of pressure losses in steel pipes.
- ACEC 28: is a spreadsheet in Lotus 123 for operation analysis of reservoirs.
- ACEC 30: is a spreadsheet in Lotus 123 for stormwater management
