HCF Retreat 2025

This month, the HCF extended family had an opportunity to come together on our first company retreat in Scofield, Utah! The weekend was filled with quality time together and connecting; from board games to giant Jenga there was no shortage of fun.  The beautiful Scofield reservoir offered fishing and a scenic view, perfect for rounds of Mölkky and pickleball! 

We’re incredibly grateful for our dedicated team and their families! Your hard work and commitment to excellence make everything we do possible.

 Here’s to growing together, on and off the clock!

Happy Workiversary, Bryson!

2D Water Modeling – HCF Lunch & Learn

Bryson Price, a Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) and a water resources EIT, led a company-sponsored Lunch & Learn on 2D hydraulic modeling in HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System). He broke down how this advanced simulation method divides landscapes into grid-like cells to show how water flows across terrain. With detailed animations and real-world examples, Bryson explained how 2D models offer more nuanced and accurate results, perfect for complex floodplain analysis. HEC-RAS is the most common tool used for flood mapping, dam breaches, and bridge scour, offering flexible, multi-sided computational cells to map flow over complex terrain. Thanks to Bryson for making a complex topic both accessible and engaging!💧💧💧

Team Outing at the Ballpark

 We took a break from project deadlines and headed out to a Salt Lake Bees game for some team bonding, sunshine, and stadium snacks. We even sat in the home run zone—and came a few feet (and one popcorn bucket) away from catching a ball or two!⚾🐝

Because no baseball outing is complete without a corny joke:
Why did the baseball team hire an engineer?
Because they needed help with their pitch! 😄

Great company, close calls, and a few extra sunburns—now that’s a solid team outing.

Sediment Transport in Stream Design – HCF Lunch & Learn

We recently had the pleasure of learning from our water resources engineer, Easton Perkins, EIT, during a company-sponsored Lunch & Learn. He shared insights from a Sediment Transport course he took through Utah State University‘s Department of Watershed Sciences. He highlighted how rivers shape themselves—and how engineers can design with nature in mind. A great reminder that understanding critical processes leads to more resilient, sustainable solutions.
