TK CONSULT AG offers a wide variety of services in the domain of surface water modelling. This includes design of flood controls and hydraulic structures, sediment and debris studies as well as hazard and risk analysis. Our services are complemented using automatization and optimization tools. We continue to improve our vizalizations to present the numerical results in an understandable way. We apply different empirical and numerical models depending on the corresponding question and problem.
