Over the next seven years, Tetra Tech's team of engineers and scientists will be responsible for advanced computer modeling and the development of plans and specifications for navigation and water control structures such as dams, spillways, channels, and navigation lock features.
Additionally, Tetra Tech aims to optimize water resources infrastructure design to facilitate migratory fish passage and the restoration of vital ecosystems. To achieve these goals, the company will rely on the expertise of its engineers and fisheries biologists.
