Freese and Nichols, Inc.
Patrick Miles serves as the H&H Techncal Leader for Freese and Nichols' Water Resources Design/Dams and Levees Group. He specializes in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling for dams, levees, canals, and spillways as part of dam safety assessments, rehabilitation design, Probable Maximum Flood analyses, and dam breach analyses. Patrick supports dam owners and regulatory agencies across the United States to assess, maintain, and rehabilitate their critical infrastructure, as well as evaluate dam and levee safety risks and strengthen emergency preparedness. His H&H modeling abilities include extensive HEC-RAS experience extending to all components of one-dimensional and two-dimensional flow, as well as utilizing corresponding GIS applications for model development, consequence assessment, and map production. Applications of these modeling efforts consist of the evaluation of existing dams, analysis of proposed dam modifications, assessment of spillway performance, and design of new dams and reservoirs, as well as risk analysis and flood hazard mapping in large riverine environments. Patrick is a nationally recognized leader in H&H modeling for dam safety applications and has been the lead instructor for HEC-RAS 2D training seminars throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, and North Carolina, as well as nationally through ASDSO's annual training program.
