Verkís’ experts have extensive experience in the field of hydrodynamics and hydrology.
Verkís has been involved in a number of projects in the field of hydrodynamics and hydrology, which involve calculations, research, and modelling related to the design and construction of structures and risk assessment.
Request a consultationThe company has a dynamic team that works on a wide variety of calculation models, such as to evaluate and analyse river flow, groundwater flow, sea currents, avalanches, mud floods, and rockfalls, flow in pipe systems and winds. The models are used, among other things, in the assessment of the spread of floods, runoff, the distribution of pollution in water and air, fluvial sediment transport and sedimentation, hummocked ice formation, analysis of pipe systems, and the design of all kinds of waterways.
Our experts undertake a variety of projects in these areas, such as the design of waterways, dams and flood defenses, the design of sewage systems, outlets into the sea, water and heating utilities, and the simulation, and analysis of floods and groundwater. We also undertake the analysis of fluvial sediment transport, erosion and sedimentation, calculations of the distribution of pollution in the sea and air, analysis of winds at structures, and flood risk.
Verkís offers monitoring of the flow of waterfalls and the level of groundwater. Among the company’s measuring devices are flow rate metres and continuously recording pressure sensors.
Our experts have expertise in specialised modelling and years of modelling experience to estimate river flow, groundwater flow, and simulate avalanches, to name a few.

Verkís supports clients in understanding and managing water-related processes through hydrodynamic and hydrological analyses. Our specialists provide modelling, assessments, and technical expertise that support informed decision-making, risk management, climate resilience, and the sustainable development of infrastructure and natural environments.
We design waterways, flood defences, erosion control measures, dams, fish passages, and specialised hydropower infrastructure that support safety, resilience, and sustainable water management.
We design water and heating utility systems that provide reliable, efficient, and sustainable services for communities and infrastructure.
We design sewage systems that ensure safe, reliable, and efficient collection, transport, and treatment of wastewater.
We design green surface water solutions that manage stormwater naturally while enhancing environmental quality and urban resilience.
We simulate and analyse natural flow processes to assess risks, support planning, and improve the resilience of infrastructure and communities.
We provide groundwater monitoring and river flow measurements to support water resource management, environmental assessments, and infrastructure planning.
We analyse sediment transport, erosion, and sedimentation processes to support sustainable water management and resilient infrastructure design.
We analyse ice formation processes in rivers and lakes to support infrastructure design, water management, and risk assessment in cold-climate environments.
We assess flood risks to support resilient infrastructure, informed planning, and effective risk management.
We perform small-scale modelling of complex structures to evaluate performance, optimise designs, and support informed engineering decisions.
We provide hydrodynamic and hydrological services that support informed decision-making and resilient infrastructure development. Our specialists analyse water systems, model hydraulic and hydrological processes, and deliver practical solutions that help manage risks, optimise performance, and support sustainable water resource management.
