Howard Cutts shares his passion for hydraulics and explains how Tetra Tech leverages our industry-leading expertise to support our clients in developing innovative and sustainable water solutions.
Howard explores challenges facing modern communities through his childhood question, “What happens when you flush?” Beyond the flush, communities are facing increasing pressures from climate change, which results in increased intensity of rainfall leading to flooding and pollution.
Tetra Tech helps overcome these challenges by optimizing our client’s sewer networks. We help our clients help their customers so that they don’t have to think about what happens when they flush.
Our experts first develop a hydraulic sewer network model, then they conduct site work to monitor and measure the flow to find out where it’s going as well as gauge how much rainfall is going into the sewers.
We help our clients help their customers so that they don’t have to think about what happens when they flush.
Tetra Tech then uses the data and model to evaluate areas of the network where storage could be used to hold back flow to prevent flooding in another area. Our experts support our clients in reducing their impact on the environment by optimizing their sewer networks and giving them tools to help them manage their networks strategically and effectively.
