GKY provides full stream restoration services, giving clients one source for all tasks associated with these efforts.
We begin by developing clear project goals and collecting key data. Our environmental staff performs geomorphic stream assessments to identify critical physical stream characterizations as well as habitat assessments of the surrounding stream corridor.
Our specialists then employ natural channel design techniques to develop the most stable and functional system permitted by the site’s characteristics and regulatory parameters.
GKY also streamlines the process by providing comprehensive planting schedules and erosion and sediment control plans for each engagement. We’re also available to obtain required permits and provide oversight for construction, ensuring steady progress through every phase of the project.
Our experience includes:
- » Snakeden Branch Stream Restoration – Reston, Virginia. GKY provided the community of Reston with environmental services which included geomorphic assessment, natural channel design for stream restoration, planting plans and development of construction documents
- » NCHRP Performance Protocols for Stream Restoration – Washington, D.C. GKY conducted an extensive survey of state transportation departments across the country to collect data on stream restoration activities and the associated protocols used to determine and measure success/failure in monitoring efforts.
