WATER RESOURCES
A.D. Marble provides a wide range of water resource engineering services to support transportation infrastructure, environmental design, and site development projects. Water resources engineers, designers, and environmental scientists work together using an in-house interdisciplinary approach to evaluate and design the best solution for each project.
A.D. Marble brings a strong construction services resume to your project, regardless of the area of concern. From routine sediment and erosion control inspection and pre-inspection consultation, to historic resources guidance during construction, we are the one source for all of your environmental needs. The enclosed information summarizes our unequalled experience in providing environmental and cultural resources expertise during project construction.

Natural channel design incorporates the characteristics of stable stream reaches into channel design with minimal structural hardening. This allows a stream to effectively convey water, sediments, and bed load while still providing biological potential. A.D. Marble has staff trained in applied fluvial geomorphology and has completed natural channel designs for more than 4 miles of stream.
Our stream restoration and design services include:
- Scour Assessments
- Hydrologic & Hydraulic Analysis
- Fluvial Geomorphic Assessment
- Natural Channel Design
- Sediment Transport Analysis
- Fish Passage Analysis and Design
- Construction Inspection
- Riparian Buffer Design
- Bank Stabilization
A.D. Marble has more than 30 years of experience evaluating sites for their suitability for restoration, enhancement, or creation of wetlands. We have designed over 350 acres of compensatory wetland mitigation, including permittee responsible mitigation and mitigation banks. Our strength lies in the abilities of our integrated design team, using the expertise of our wetland scientists and engineers to develop a design that mimics the natural landscape.
