Successful transportation projects depend on hydraulic engineering that is technically sound, constructible, and grounded in real-world conditions. At WGI, our hydraulics professionals support roadway and bridge projects with practical, innovative solutions that improve safety; protect infrastructure and the environment, support resiliency; and align with regulatory requirements, without losing sight of schedule or cost. We also provide comprehensive floodplain management support, from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) coordination and map revisions to detailed bridge and culvert modeling, helping transportation projects navigate flood risk while meeting regulatory requirements.
Complementing these services, Streamline Technologies, a division of WGI Ventures, has decades of experience specializing in water resources engineering, stormwater management, and hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) software development since 1984. Streamline’s flagship platform, StormWise, is the first proprietary H&H modeling software accepted by FEMA and has been relied on for decades.
Streamline also delivers advanced real-time flood forecasting through FloodWise, providing hyper-local insights at the street, structural, and critical infrastructure level. These capabilities enable the proactive management of transportation networks, water resource facilities, and essential services, reducing damage, improving operational foresight, and accelerating recovery efforts.
Together, our team brings together deep subject-matter expertise, regional knowledge, and the ability to integrate seamlessly with roadway, structural, and environmental disciplines. Whether addressing complex drainage constraints, floodplain impacts, or stormwater permitting challenges, we focus on solutions that work, not just on paper, but in the field.
Meet a few of the leaders supporting our Transportation Hydraulics efforts:
- Mike Mills, PE, Vice President, Stormwater Resources – Mike provides senior technical leadership for transportation hydraulics, with decades of experience in bridge hydraulics, scour analysis, floodplain modeling, and regulatory coordination. He brings steady judgment to complex and high-risk hydraulic challenges.
- Kevin Cann, PE, Senior Project Engineer, Florida Hydraulics – Kevin leads hydrologic and hydraulic design for roadway and bridge projects across Florida, delivering innovative drainage and stormwater solutions tailored to challenging site and permitting conditions.
- Forrest Brooks, PE – Project Engineer, North Carolina Hydraulics – Based in Raleigh, Forrest brings hands-on experience with North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) roadway drainage, bridge hydraulics, erosion and sediment control, and stormwater permitting—providing local insight and continuity for NC transportation projects.
- Warren McKinnie, PE, CFM, GISP – Director of Water Resources (Streamline Technologies, Inc.) – With over 25 years of experience, Warren specializes in surface water and groundwater modeling, stormwater master planning, and GIS-integrated hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) model development. He also leads the implementation of real-time flood forecasting systems, applying deep expertise in asset management and stormwater infrastructure to support resilient transportation design.
Together, this team supports transportation clients with responsive service, sound engineering judgment, and integrated hydraulic solutions that stand up to review and perform when it matters most.
