WRC Consulting Services Inc

WRC Consulting Service, Inc. (WRC) offers extensive knowledge and experience in watershed management, flood protection, erosion/sedimentation control, and resources preservation. WRC provides turnkey services including technical analysis, planning, documentation, permitting, preliminary and final design, and construction support. WRC Principals have participated in several noteworthy water resources projects such as the Talbert Channel Ocean Outlet, the Santa Ana River Marsh, and the Seven Oaks Dam. WRC Principals were privileged to be part of the project management team for numerous U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' water resources and military projects.

WRC provides specialty services in hydrology/hydraulics, sedimentation and geomorphology, water quality management, and environmental documentation. WRC Principals developed many of the analytical and design procedures accepted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Federal Highway Administration, as well as numerous municipal governments. Our in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of the behavior of watershed and fluvial systems has led to the recommendation of innovative, feasible, and cost-effective design solutions. WRC has a track record of success in the approval of Floodplain Management Plans, Community Rating System Certification, FEMA Map Revision, EIR/EIS, sand/gravel mining reclamation, stormwater management, and ecosystem restoration. We carry projects from the conceptual phase through plans and specifications to implementation and full operation.

At WRC, we think “outside of the box” by not relying solely on “hard-lined,” “one-dimensional,” “typical” standards. We savor concept development and share our state-of-the-art vision and creativity. WRC's design staff has extensive experience working with landscape architects, structural architects, biologists, and ecologists on multi-use open-space management projects involving trails, parks, sports fields, vehicle access/parking, wetlands, open water, interpretive centers, flood control, bio-engineering erosion control, grade stabilization, and water quality improvement. Our in-depth knowledge of engineering and construction documentation further ensures that the creative solutions for landscape and recreation projects are practical to implement and lead to cost-effective, long-term maintenance.

Not only have we contributed to our clients' timely delivery of engineering plans, specifications, and estimates, but we have also provided significant support for public meetings, encroachment permits, and environmental processing. We have saved our clients millions of dollars using our expertise in the integration of grading, drainage, erosion control, and stormwater pollution prevention.

WRC staff members have a diversified background in civil engineering design and construction projects. Our design staff have participated in various site development and public works improvement projects for transportation, drainage, flood control, erosion/sedimentation control, recreation, water/wastewater supply and conveyance, and environmental enhancement. Our reputation was built upon our specialized experience in projects with significant constraints which involved technical challenges, costly infrastructures, complicated encroachment permitting, and environmental sensitivity. We pride ourselves on our innovative strategies that often lead to cost reduction in construction and maintenance; better management of flood, erosion, and pollution hazards; and higher standards of infrastructure sustainability.

WRC staff members have consistently delivered design products on time and of a quality exceeding standard requirements. We have successfully completed projects without overrun, even with unforeseeable design and permitting issues. This is largely attributed to the attention given by our professional experts, stringent QA/QC, and our flexibility in responding to unexpected challenges that arise. Understanding the planning process and environmental sensitivity needs, WRC has supported our clients with the most defensive solutions for long-term, high-quality performance.
