Joe Castaneda has over 10 years of civil engineering experience within the fields of flood control, municipal, transportation, land development, and construction engineering. He has focused his career in flood control engineering that consisted of technical environmental and engineering challenges in both the public and private sector. Joe Castaneda has significant experience in all aspect of flood control engineering and watershed management. He has been involved in hydrology studies for regional projects and site specific projects utilizing several numerical and computer models. Mr. Castaneda has experience in river modeling, storm drain modeling, and sediment transport modeling. His hydraulic expertise includes preliminary drainage design, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood plain mapping and processing, Master Drainage Plans and Value Engineering Studies, river/stream analyses and environmental solutions, and scour and natural channel design.

Mr. Castaneda’s experience has been incorporated into the several aspects of civil engineering design which include the following:
Land Planning and Entitlement Preliminary Drainage Studies and Grading Analyses Due-Diligence and Value Engineering Final Engineering and Plan Preparation and Process
Mr. Castaneda understands that environmental and water quality processes are dynamic and requires engineers to monitor changes in guidelines. As a result, Mr. Castaneda understands that complex environmental, water quality, and hydraulic issues require practical and innovative solutions.
