Tetra Tech has performed extensive FLO-2D modeling studies to delineate
flood hazards for various projects. Tetra Tech has also been retained
as a consultant to provide technical oversight on a number of FLO-2D
flood hazard delineation projects performed by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers. All of these projects involve complex unconfined flooding
which could only be simulated with the FLO-2D two-dimensional flood
routing model. FLO-2D is a state-of-the-art finite difference flood
simulation model developed by Tetra Tech and approved by FEMA for FIS
studies. The FLO-2D model has been used in four District offices of
the Corps. The FLO-2D model has a so been used to perform floodplain
studies for private companies in Santa Barbara, California, Las Vegas,
Nevada and Phoenix, Arizona.
