Specialty
Dredging Engineering, Permitting, Feasibility and Administration
Our exclusive dredgeSMART program assists with all things dredging – from planning, permitting and feasibility to drafting construction plans by our staff civil engineers – our specialty team has the ability to seamlessly and effortlessly navigate your dredging project under one roof. We operate design/dredge or design/bid services for dredging projects.
Surface Water Engineering
TBPE FIRM F-8072 – Specializing in surface water only, our staff engineers have the ability to design storm water systems, engineer dams, spillways and other surface water features. Hydro-Civil for all things surface water related.
Hydrographic Surveys
Using survey-grade instruments, we collect data in some of the most hard to reach aquatic enviroments for planning, modeling and verification purposes. Analyzing water depths, sediment thicknesses, capacity curves and cut/fill modeling.
Infrared Aquatic Vegetation Surveys and Imagery Using Drones
Using sUAS unmanned aircraft, we now have the ability to survey impassable marsh and aquatic terrain for real-time aquatic species classification and quantification. PondMedics holds a Section 333 FAA exemption and complies with Part 107 of the CFR in order to legally fly drones for commercial use in the U.S.
Engineering* Support Services for Surface Water Resource Projects
Providing field data, knowledge and experience to projects involving surface water resources is key to a successful project involving surface waters. From surveys, to modeling to practical project help, we’re an engineer’s one-stop-shop for all things surface-water related.
Shoreline and Stream Bank Restoration, Stabilization and Armoring
We use creative natural and synthetic resources to restore and protect shorelines and stream banks from erosion and degradation. Avoid concrete trapezoidal channels! We have better and more natural solutions!
Dam Rehab and Renovation
Are you out of compliance on your dam safety and EAP? We can help you through the whole process from drafting and submitting your EAP, to engineering your dam reconstruction project and all the way through to performing the construction services on the rehab itself.
Crane Boat Services
Fountains, Fish Habitat, Marina Services, Salvage, etc. – Our specialized crane boat allows expensive surface water assets to be installed, maintained and repaired safely and efficiently. If you have a need for a mobile heavy-lift vessel, our crane boat is the right fit!
Amphibious Tools and Solutions
Aquatic and marsh environments are not suited for traditional boats or terrestrial vehicles. Our Truxor and Marsh Master machines are the perfect match for these hard-to-reach places that a boat or land vehicle can’t get to. From mowing, cutting, raking, dredging and herbicide spraying – our fleet of amphibious vehicles can do it all!
Comprehensive, Pro-Active, Fixed Cost Pond, Lake and Reservoir Management Plans
We all have to live by a budget, so why settle for a reactive management plan that is not predictable? We offer the best in a true “comprehensive” plan that will easy your budgetary strains when it comes to managing surface water resources. Whether it’s amphibious mowing contracts or aquatic herbicide treatments, we’ll make the long-term maintenance painless.
Airboat Aquatic Herbicide Applications
Some aquatic environments are impassable with conventional boats. There is no aquatic environment too weedy or impassable with our airboat outfitted with commercial aquatic herbicide spray equipment and GPS navigation.
*PondMedics is only licensed in Texas. Management and consulting services available in all states.
Traditional
Pond and lake management
There are many dynamics and moving parts to keep a pond or lake functioning within a given set of expectations and goals. Our custom-tailored, proactive plans will include activities that are associated with our listed services and will provide you with a comprehensive plan, targeted at meeting your goals.
Fountains and Aerators
Fountains provide a unique aesthetic to a body of water. Aerators help maximize water quality potential. Choosing the best brand of equipment with the lowest cost of ownership is key to years of worry-free operation.
Electrofishing surveys and fish stocking
Our highly equipped electrofishing boat uses the newest technology in safely stunning fish and evaluating them for health and balance in the pond or lake in which they live. Large-scale fish stocking is accomplished through our insulated, oxygenated haul tanks – delivering the healthiest fish possible.
Fisheries management
Every day a fish is eating or being eaten. Dynamics in the balance of the fishery need to be carefully monitored and managed to meet your fisheries goals. Activities like selective harvest, supplemental feeding programs and fertilization are components of a successful fisheries management program.
Fish habitat improvement
Muddy pond? Fish have to see to eat, so clearing up muddy water is a part of fish habitat improvement. Structure, cover and spawning/nursery beds are all important components of fish habitat. Today’s artificial structure products help aid in keeping you fishing and not having to replace natural cover every few years.
Water quality testing and remediation
We use pond and lake water for a variety of purposes – storm water conveyance, irrigation, livestock watering, potable water treatment, etc. Your use will determine what type of water quality your aiming for. Once testing is performed, changing the properties of the water is done through remediation.
Floating docks and piers
What good is a pond or lake if you can’t enjoy it? Designing and installing a floating dock or fishing pier is one of the best ways to enjoy the water. Floating docks and piers can assist with launching canoes and kayaks and stays with the lake level versus a fixed dock or pier.
