• Further Experience

Mr. Floyd has a broad and exciting range of engineering and surveying experience.  He has surveyed for the US Army in the Gila Desert of Arizona and the piney woods of Louisiana at Fort Polk.  He was also a member of a national  design team for the USGS in which their responsibilty was to ascertain the safety of manned cableways which were currently in use.

As an engineer with the USGS, Mr. Floyd gained invaluable experience in the fields of hydrology and hydraulics.  He is fully familiar with the one-dimensional step-backwater model theory and has also modeled surface-water flows using a two-dimensional  finite element surface-water model.  These theories are now being applied by Mr. Floyd in design and consulting projects for the private sector.
