About me
Vineela is a proficient Water Resources Engineer and a GISP with 14 years of professional experience. Her expertise over the years includes successfully developing numerous models of surface water hydrology and hydraulics (h&h), water distribution systems, storm water management, stream bank stabilization design, dam breach analysis, and soil saturation analysis using GIS integrated1D, 1D-2D, and 2D modeling software. She developed flood models, Watershed Management Plans (WMPs), and Best Management Practices (BMPs) for plethora of watersheds, communities, cities, counties, and water management districts across the states of Florida, and Missouri. She provided extensive strategic asset management planning resolutions in water utility industry in the St. Louis Metropolitan region through comprehensive distribution system modeling.
Vineela is a leading forerunner in the water industry’s forthcoming concept of future technology/digital twins. She has successfully completed creating a functioning digital twin for one of the biggest water distribution network models of the Bentley’s Water Gems modeling software on its digital twin platform called Watersight. Collaborating with the Bentley’s technical experts, she spearheaded and outlined a streamlined approach involved and troubleshooting methods in creating a digital twin.
Vineela’s tenacity extends into GIS applications in Water Resources Engineering. She frequently utilizes several different GIS techniques in h&h modeling environments for data exchange, hydrology development, hydraulic network setup, floodplain development, and floodplain mapping including for FEMA. She integrates h&h models with GIS to decide the best course of project approach for an efficient project completion.
