ArcGIS is one of the most powerful tools for basin analysis, grading checks, watershed delineations, and automating repetitive drainage tasks. I’ll walk through methods I actually use on projects — including banding elevation contours, extracting watershed polygons, and checking flow paths for roadway design.

Civil 3D is my daily driver for roadway drainage design. Here I’ll share the exact settings, styles, shortcuts, and workflows I use — including pipe networks, grading objects, corridor targeting, and custom macros that speed up production.

Excel is still one of the most efficient engineering tools out there. This section covers the VBA macros and formulas I’ve built over the years — including stage-storage automation, profile elevation lookups, inlet checks, and drainage calculations.

For floodplain and hydraulic modeling, HEC-RAS is essential. I’ll walk through 1D/2D workflows, common troubleshooting issues, and tricks for reviewing floodplain crossings, channel geometry, and roadway overtopping frequencies.
