Laura LaRiviere, P.E.
Senior Water Resources Engineer
Stantec
Laura specializes in surface water hydrology, open channel hydraulics, civil design, and hydrologic and hydraulic computer modeling. Her experience includes analysis, design, and construction experience related to dam design, water supply and conveyance infrastructure, and other water resources projects. She has extensive experience in field inspection of water storage and conveyance structures, including dams and canals. She has managed and been a part of numerous design teams for projects that required federal or state agency approval. Spillway design experience includes application of the NRCS SITES erosion model including development of spillway erodibility parameters, definition of spillway geometry, and using SITES to conduct stability and integrity analyses. Other experience includes the application of various hydrologic and steady and unsteady flow 1-D and 2-D hydraulic models, including HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, NRCS SITES, and WMS.
Blair Greimann, Ph.D., P.E.
Civil Engineer
Stantec
Blair has 24 years of experience scoping, performing, and reviewing hydraulic and sediment transport analyses in rivers and reservoirs. In these projects, he assesses the benefits and risks associated with sediment transport in natural systems, analyzing such issues as changes to flood inundation, bed and bank erosion, riverbed material, water quality, and riparian vegetation communities.
Some of his past projects include the San Joaquin River Restoration Program, the Klamath Dam Removal Studies, and the Glen Canyon Long-Term Experimental and Management Plan. An award-winning engineer, he was the lead developer of the hydraulic and sediment transport model, SRH-1D. Blair enjoys and values mentorship and has also taught engineering at the University of Colorado.
Outside (and inside) of work, Blair enjoys pursuing outdoor activities with his family on or near rivers and lakes, including hiking, biking, fishing, boating, sitting, and thinking.
Keil Neff, Ph.D., P.E.
Principal
Stantec
Keil is a principal H&H engineer at Stantec specializing in hydrologic and hydraulic analyses to support flood risk infrastructure design and dam safety risk assessments. Prior to Stantec, Keil's professional experience included working at the Bureau of Reclamation, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and other consulting and academic organizations, where he led complex H&H studies to support dam safety activities. His experience includes developing and teaching classes in hydrology and hydraulics at the University of Tennessee and developing and delivering flood hazard training to support the Department of Interior’s Safety Evaluation of Existing Dams (SEED) and International SEED seminars. Keil has experience in spillway erodibility assessment, including SITES and WinDam-C modeling.
