INSIDE HUNT: How HUNT is Solving Community Challenges

Communities today face increasingly complex challenges — from aging infrastructure and stormwater management to environmental compliance, flood mitigation, and advanced mapping needs. To better support these evolving demands, HUNT continues to expand its multidisciplinary capabilities, delivering more specialized expertise while maintaining the responsive, community-focused approach clients have trusted for decades.

With nearly 200 employees and offices across New York and Pennsylvania, including Albany, Binghamton, Horseheads, Rochester, and Towanda, HUNT provides clients with a strong regional presence and a broader range of integrated services. HUNT has continued to strengthen its capabilities in water resources engineering, environmental services, and geomatics to help communities plan smarter, build safer, and prepare for the future.

Water Resources: Protecting Infrastructure and Communities

As municipalities and agencies continue to face increased flooding risks, aging drainage systems, and evolving environmental regulations, HUNT provides specialized water resource engineering services designed to improve resiliency and protect critical infrastructure.

Our team supports clients through a wide range of services, including:

• Dam safety assessments, inspections, rehabilitation planning, emergency action plans, and inundation mapping

• Floodplain management and mitigation studies

• Hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) modeling for streams, culverts, stormwater systems, and flood control infrastructure

• Stream restoration and stabilization using natural stream design and bioengineering techniques

• Watershed studies and stormwater management planning

• Green infrastructure design and erosion and sediment control planning

• SWPPP preparation, post-construction monitoring, and regulatory compliance support

  
  

By combining technical expertise with practical, community-focused solutions, HUNT helps clients reduce risk, improve environmental performance, and strengthen long-term infrastructure resilience.

Environmental Services: Navigating Complex Regulatory Challenges

Environmental requirements continue to shape how projects are planned, designed, and constructed. HUNT’s environmental professionals provide technical guidance and regulatory support to help clients navigate these challenges efficiently and responsibly.

Our environmental services include:

• Wetland delineation and permitting

• Endangered and threatened species studies

• Surface water and groundwater analysis

• Air quality and noise studies

• Hazardous material assessments and remediation planning

• Environmental impact statements and reporting

• Spill prevention and wastewater management planning

• Construction inspection and environmental monitoring

  
  

HUNT also provides specialized field investigation services, including mold, asbestos, lead-based paint, air quality, groundwater, and avian waste assessments.

Through proactive planning and experienced project coordination, our team helps clients minimize environmental risk while maintaining project schedules and regulatory compliance.

Geomatics: Advanced Mapping and Data-Driven Solutions

Accurate data is the foundation of successful infrastructure planning and design. HUNT’s geomatics team delivers advanced surveying, mapping, and geospatial services that support projects of all sizes across the region.

Using the latest technologies in LiDAR scanning, UAV drone mapping, GPS surveying, hydrography, and GIS, HUNT provides precise, high-quality data collection to improve project efficiency, accuracy, and safety.

Our geomatics capabilities include:

• Boundary, topographic, and Right-of-Way (ROW) surveys

• UAV and photogrammetric control surveys

• GIS data collection and management

• Riverbed and hydraulic surveys

• Digital terrain modeling

• Bathymetric and fathometric mapping

• Hydrographic data collection for flood studies and infrastructure analysis

• Terrestrial 3D LiDAR scanning and high-definition spatial imaging

  
  

These technologies allow HUNT to efficiently capture detailed field data for infrastructure improvements, watershed studies, transportation projects, utility mapping, and as-built documentation while improving safety and reducing field time.

A More Resourceful Partner for Communities

As infrastructure, environmental, and resiliency challenges continue to evolve, HUNT remains committed to expanding the expertise and services needed to help communities move forward with confidence.

By integrating engineering, environmental consulting, water resource expertise, and advanced geomatics capabilities under one roof, HUNT delivers coordinated solutions that help clients simplify project delivery, improve decision-making, and maximize long-term community impact.

From flood mitigation and environmental compliance to advanced mapping and infrastructure planning, HUNT continues to invest in the people, technology, and expertise necessary to serve communities today — and into the future.
