At Idrostudi, the hydraulic engineering services by our Engineering division combine expertise with forward-looking solutions, spanning Civil & Environmental Engineering and Disaster Risk Reduction & Management. From design and infrastructure planning to hydrology, climate modelling, and river basin management, we deliver integrated services that enhance resilience, sustainability, and long-term value.
Flood Risk Assessment and Resilience Planning
We use advanced scientific and engineering methods to enhance resilience against natural hazards. Through hydrological analysis, numerical simulations, and physical modelling, we conduct flood risk assessment and evaluate mass movement hazards, predict extreme events, and develop effective mitigation strategies to protect infrastructure, communities, and the environment.
Flood Risk Assessment, Disaster Risk Reduction and Hydrological Modelling Services
Idrostudi provides comprehensive Disaster Risk Reduction & Management services, combining hydrological modelling, satellite-based hydrological analysis, and advanced river hydraulics to assess and mitigate flood hazards.
Our expertise covers Flood Risk Management (FRM), Flood Hazard and Flood Risk Assessment (FRA), flash-flood analysis, slope-stability analysis and evaluation, and river geomorphology studies, including sediment-transport modelling.
We prepare catchment protection plans, watershed regulation strategies, and perform dam-break analysis, dam-safety assessment, and lifespan studies. We also develop Emergency Preparedness Plans (EPPs) and tailored Early Warning Systems (EWS) to enhance community safety and infrastructure resilience
Robust hydrological analysis is essential for accurate river modelling, the design of hydraulic infrastructure and urban drainage systems, and effective flood risk management. Building on extensive experience, Idrostudi has developed advanced hydrological models that integrate satellite observations, snowmelt estimation, and evapotranspiration assessment. These tools allow us to understand and forecast catchment behaviour, including future trends under climate-change scenarios. Our specialists create predictive models to evaluate the climate resilience of existing and planned infrastructure, supporting sustainable planning and safe, long-term water resources management.
As a research-driven consultancy, specialising in climate-risk assessment and adaptation planning, we process CMIP5/CMIP6 multi-model ensembles with CORDEX downscaling and apply bias-correction techniques to deliver consistent, decision-ready climate inputs. These datasets power hydrological and hydraulic models to estimate discharge, water levels, water supply, sanitation performance, and flood extents. By integrating hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, we quantify socio-economic risk and support cost-benefit analyses, helping clients strengthen flood management, water security, and infrastructure resilience, supporting clients across policy, planning, and delivery.
Effective river-basin management requires a catchment-wide perspective and advanced analytical tools. Idrostudi conducts hydrological studies to analyse flows, flood hazards, and water availability. Our specialists develop numerical models to simulate catchment behaviour under multiple scenarios, including climate change, supporting robust planning and resource optimisation. We work with public and private organisations to prepare river-basin management plans, delivering technical expertise that enables sustainable water use, strengthens flood-risk management and improves long-term resilience across natural and built environments.
Idrostudi integrates advanced snowmelt analysis into its hydrological studies to accurately model how precipitation is stored, transformed, and released within a catchment. By analysing snow accumulation, melt timing, and meltwater routing, we improve predictions of seasonal runoff, peak flows, and overall water availability-especially in cold or mountain basins.
This enhanced capability enables more reliable flood-risk assessments, better reservoir operation strategies, more accurate drought evaluations, and robust climate-change impact studies. The result is safer, more resilient, and better optimised water-resource and infrastructure solutions.
Sustainable Hydraulic Infrastructure Design
Idrostudi unites multidisciplinary civil and environmental engineering expertise to design sustainable, high-performance infrastructure and resilient climate change. Through the integration of advanced BIM methodologies and meticulous work supervision, we ensure every phase - from concept to construction - meets the highest standards of efficiency, quality, and environmental responsibility.
Infrastructure Design from Hydropower Plants to Coastal Protection
Idrostudi delivers high-value hydraulic engineering services for water infrastructure, designing transverse and longitudinal hydraulic structures (weirs, submerged weirs), storm drains, water-intake structures, artificial canals, dams and waterways, water supply and sewerage systems, coastal protections.
We support hydropower plant design (HPP) and ensure the hydraulic compatibility of road and railway works, including cross-drainage, surface-drainage systems, and scour protection at bridges.
Our expertise in soil bioengineering, geology, hydrogeology, structural design, and hydro-/electro-mechanical systems enables clients to reduce risks, optimise performance, and implement sustainable, cost-effective solutions.
Civil-Environmental Engineering: Study, Design, BIM and Work Supervision
Idrostudi provides comprehensive Civil–Environmental Engineering services covering study, design, BIM integration, and work supervision for sustainable infrastructure projects. Our team performs detailed technical analyses and develops efficient, resilient designs tailored to each site. With advanced Building Information Modelling, we ensure precise coordination and seamless project execution. Through rigorous on-site supervision, we guarantee compliance, safety, and quality, delivering reliable engineering solutions that optimise performance and reduce long-term risks for clients and communities.
Creating Reliable Insights Through Hydrological and Hydraulic Modelling
Hydrological and hydraulic modelling is essential to understanding territorial dynamics, identifying vulnerabilities, and supporting informed planning. This scientific approach underpins the design of safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible solutions.
Idrostudi plays a pivotal role in environmental hydraulic studies, applying physical, mathematical, and numerical models to analyse and design complex hydraulic systems across rivers, coastal areas, urban environments, and offshore platforms.
