Triad Engineering is pleased to announce that two of our Professional Engineers have earned the designation of Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) from the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM). Congratulations to Mr. Larry McCoy, P.E. and Mr. Lee McCoy, P.E.!
Floodplain management has become increasingly important as flood disaster losses have increased. Emphasis has been placed upon mitigation to alleviate the cycle of damage-rebuild-damage, and a need for professionals to address these issues was recognized. CFMs use their knowledge and abilities to “help reduce the nation’s flood losses and protect and enhance the natural resources and functions of its floodplains.” In passing their CFM certification exam, each of Triad’s engineers proved their knowledge of floodplain management, including topics such as the Nation Floodplain Insurance Program (NFIP), floodplain mapping, regulatory standards and procedures, flood hazard mitigation, natural and beneficial functions (e.g., wetlands), and a community’s responsibilities to its citizens.
How can Triad help you? In addition to general consulting on floodplain related issues, Triad can help your community submit for participation in the National Floodplain Insurance Program (NFIP), a program that can bring significant advantages to affected communities. We will work with you to develop the necessary floodplain regulations and submit all program forms on behalf of your community or neighborhood. MoreTriad is growing again!

The award was presented to Mr. Young at the chapter's annual meeting at the 2010 WV Contractor's EXPO in Charleston. Triad's services on the project included the preparation of a master plan and construction documents, as well as construction administration.
