Hydrology
How much water arrives, how often and how fast: rainfall, runoff and flood flows across the watershed.
Engineered erosion mitigation
and bank stabilization.

We are water
experts.
Every project starts with a site investigation. Before we design anything, we study how water reaches the site, what it does there and where it goes.
Soil Mechanics
What the ground can hold: bank strength, slope stability and bearing capacity for the protection we build.
Geomorphology
How the channel has moved and where it is heading: migrating bends, lowering beds, advancing headcuts.
Hydraulics
What the water does at the site: depth, velocity, shear and scour against the bank, bed or structure.
Sedimentology
What the water carries and leaves behind, which decides whether a bank rebuilds or keeps eroding.
How we work
One team, from site investigation through construction.
Whatever the industry, every project follows the same six steps, and our own people carry it through each one. Nothing is handed off to another firm along the way.
Site Investigation
Every project starts here. We study the site's hydrology, geomorphology, hydraulics and sedimentology, so our engineers can separate the visible symptom from the underlying problem.
Scoping & Root Cause
We find what's actually causing the damage and how far the work needs to go, then recommend the fix that fits the site.
Engineering & Drawings
Our engineers turn the investigation findings into an engineered design for the site, set out in construction drawings built for the field and made to last.
Permitting & Approvals
Permitting extends beyond environmental review to floodplain and other site-specific requirements. Er-Con prepares and submits applications, coordinates with agencies and sees every required permit through review and approval before work moves into the field.
Construction
Our own crews build it, managing safety and quality on site. If conditions on the ground turn out to be different from the drawings, the crew and our engineers work it out together.
Long-Term Protection
The result is a site-specific solution that addresses the forces behind the problem, stabilizes the ground and protects critical assets.
Solutions designed around the problem, not the other way around.
Er-Con engineers each solution around the forces acting on the site, the assets at risk and the realities of construction. Before a design reaches a client, our engineering and field leaders review it together, applying decades of field experience to constructability, sequencing and long-term performance. That discipline creates a clear path from site investigation and permitting through construction.

Expertise that travels. Local knowledge that matters.
Er-Con's dedicated teams bring proven systems and project leadership to every site. Wherever practical, we leverage local equipment providers and material suppliers, supporting the surrounding community while maintaining ownership of the work from start to finish.
Our crews minimize disruption to the customer, surrounding property and environment. They limit the project footprint, restore disturbed areas and leave the site better than they found it. Customers regularly recognize Er-Con for the care our teams bring to the work.
