With a distinguished career as a hydraulic engineer spanning more than 40 years, Skupien was accustomed to using the US Army Corps HEC-2 software and later the HEC-RAS software, and building hydraulic models with long-standing, familiar practices. His interest was tempered by the usual questions related to trying something \u201cnew\u201d. However, since his introduction to CivilGEO\u2019s GeoHECRAS, he has used the software regularly on a broad range of projects including, most recently, for a hydraulically complex bridge redesign project in New Jersey.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-794f719 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"794f719\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a8cf8f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6a8cf8f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In collaboration with New Jersey County\u2019s Division of Engineering, Skupien performed a hydraulic modeling analysis to understand the hydraulics of a dated and structurally deficient humpback or perched bridge and to evaluate how to size a new bridge and reengineer the road approaching the bridge through modification of the road\u2019s vertical curvature. The bridge size and road profile, also the site of chronic flooding, presented several design challenges and a tough hydraulic balancing act was in order. Options included enlarging the bridge opening to let more water through, which could result in increased downstream discharges, or raising the road, which would alter the road overtopping hydraulics and possibly increase flooding upstream. Skupien is still in the process of analyzing the site\u2019s hydraulic characteristics, but he is clear on one point: the ability of GeoHECRAS to efficiently process a variety of terrain data expedites the process of developing hydraulic simulations. This gives him time to carefully study and refine alternatives and design solutions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2a59c8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d2a59c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"cvg-pullquote-text\"><em>\u201cThe most amazing thing about GeoHECRAS is that it lets me spend time on the analysis, not the data input.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1d1cdc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e1d1cdc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Joseph Skupien, P.E.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e9a7a39 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5e9a7a39\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-121b132a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"121b132a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68da6354 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"68da6354\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1068\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.civilgeo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Stormwater-1068x601-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2800\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.civilgeo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Stormwater-1068x601-1.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.civilgeo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Stormwater-1068x601-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.civilgeo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Stormwater-1068x601-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.civilgeo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Stormwater-1068x601-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4bac1b9a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4bac1b9a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ed7c52f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6ed7c52f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44273452 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"44273452\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>\u201cIt allows me as an analyst, modeler and design engineer, to focus on the model, the problem, and not spend a lot of time or budget on handling the data. A lot of data goes into these models. You can spend a lot of time taking that data from the surveyor\u2019s data log or map and converting it into a form of data that HEC-RAS requires. CivilGEO\u2019s software manages all the different forms of data and all the different methods of analyzing and constructing data. It was hard to believe when I first started using it.

Skupien notes that the software allows him to easily convert and merge data and create the necessary contours and cross-sections for flood maps. He observes how easy it is to generate results for a floodplain analysis and then have the time to refine the simulation and check it for accuracy. Adding cross-sections or making other modifications to the model at a later point in the process presents no difficulties, since they are performed directly in the GeoHEC-RAS software. The efficiencies realized both at the front end of model construction and during model refinement means the client benefits from the additional time available for analysis and consideration of design alternatives.<\/p><p>Engineering projects are typically collaborative efforts and Skupien points out that GeoHECRAS gives him the ability to easily share his results and solutions with road and bridge designers and other professionals using the visualization<br \/>tools GeoHECRAS offers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46847ce7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"46847ce7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1dc0b873 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1dc0b873\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"569\" height=\"321\" src=\"https:\/\/www.civilgeo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Stormwater_Bridge_1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2876\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.civilgeo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Stormwater_Bridge_1.jpg 569w, https:\/\/www.civilgeo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Stormwater_Bridge_1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0eb5988 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0eb5988\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a35c4fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a35c4fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Skupien notes that he has made use of virtually all of GeoHECRAS\u2019 many capabilities: From entering data in different formats, to merging and converting data, to extracting cross-sections and using other georeferencing tools.<\/p><p>The quality of CivilGEO\u2019s technical support has also made a positive impression on Skupien. In the early days of working with the software, he struggled at times with GeoHECRAS\u2019 still unfamiliar platform and methods of managing data.
