Erik F. R. Bollaert is President of AquaVision Engineering, a company specialized in rock scour engineering and hydraulics of dams and spillways. He holds a MSc in Civil Engineering since 1996 and a PhD degree in hydraulics and rock mechanics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne since 2001. He is an internationally known expert in scour and erosion problems downstream of dams and appurtenant structures and has been involved in many scour problems related to dam spillways worldwide.

He is the developer of the Comprehensive Scour Model, comprising several physics-based computational methods for rock mass fracturing and rock block uplift, and co-organized the “International Workshop on Rock Scour” in Lausanne (EPFL) in 2001.

He authored close to 100 scientific papers and authored the book “Digital Rock Scour: Cloud-based Modelling and Engineering”, published in 2024 (CRC Press, Florida). His work has been incorporated into several international guidelines, amongst others those of the US Society on Dams, the US Federal Highway Administration, and the American Society of Civil Engineers.
