Why Choose Hydras Engineering

What Sets Us Apart

 With 30 years of field-tested experience across the United States, Alaina brings deep technical knowledge combined with practical problem-solving skills to every project. Having worked in diverse climates and with a vast array of river and stream types—from high-mountain watersheds to coastal plains—she understands the unique hydraulic behaviors and challenges that different environments present, and leads her team with this knowledge.


Alaina left the corporate world to provide something often missing in engineering consulting: the time and dedication to listen to, work alongside, and help educate her clients. She believes that when she and her clients share the same understanding of both their water resource problems and the proposed solutions, it leads to better outcomes for everyone in the long run. This approach ensures informed decision-making and builds lasting partnerships. 

Client Focus

Whether you're a municipality addressing flood concerns, a developer navigating regulatory requirements, a private homeowner dealing with flooding or drainage issues, a landowner seeking stream restoration solutions, or an organization pursuing sustainable water management, Hydras provides personalized attention and responsive service that larger firms often cannot match.
