Definition
Retained by Client A to perform hydrodynamic modeling and coastal risk assessment for a residential development project near a coastal area; applied newly released data and a recently developed algorithm incorporating newly identified historic weather data; determined the project should be built to a 100-year projected storm surge elevation due to public safety risks; faces client refusal to adopt the recommended design standard on cost grounds.
