Overview
Since its establishment in 1941, Joseph E. Bonadiman & Associates, Inc. (JBA) has completed a wide variety of hydrology and hydraulics projects, including its development of civil engineering, hydrology and hydraulics software.
Due to its software development and that software's use by many engineering firms, cities, counties, Caltrans, and the Corps of Engineers and the firm's extensive hydrology/hydraulics projects, the firm qualifies to specialize in the fields of hydrology and hydraulics. Not only does the firm do design work, but it has also completed numerous technical reports and its members are often called on to act as expert witnesses in cases throughout California, and more specifically, in San Bernardino for the County of San Bernardino Flood Control.
JBA continually gains additional expertise through its software support services and its consulting with other engineers. The firm has gained particular experience in the City and County of San Bernardino, with such projects as the Meadowbrook Redevelopment Project, the original "H" Street storm drain, a 10' box culvert on Warm Creek through the National Orange Show grounds, a storm drain system for California State Fairs at the National Orange Show, an improvement of Cable Creek, North San Bernardino, and a trapezoidal channel for portions of Bailey Creek in the Verdemont area of San Bernardino. These, along with many other similar projects in the Cities of Colton, Rialto, Highland, and the County of San Bernardino shows the depth of JBA's experience in hydrology and hydraulics.
| The firm has worked in the City of San Bernardino for over 58 years, has had an office based in the City of San Bernardino for the last 40 years, and continues its work with the third generation of the Bonadiman family to serve the community. |
Professional Experience
The following are some examples of the firm’s hydrology and hydraulics projects. We feel these projects are representative and show that the firm has a substantial capacity for this type of civil engineering work. The firm also has great depth in working with other engineering firms either in a consulting or instructional capacity to help them with a multitude of hydrology and hydraulics situations and design studies. It is difficult to conceive of any type of project in these fields that the firm has not encountered in it’s many years of continuous service in Southern California.

Colton Channel
Colton, CA
Joseph E. Bonadiman and Associates, Inc. (JBA), provided analysis and design for the construction of an 82" Reinforced Concrete Pipe.
This project entailed conducting a comprehensive drainage study using San Bernardino County Flood Control District synthetic unit hydrograph. The system collected storm flows from the Cities of Colton and Rialto and conveyed the flows through reinforced concrete pipe. The drainage area included portions of the City of Colton and the City of Rialto, traversing along Valley Boulevard, to the Rialto channel in the City of Rialto. |

"H" Street Storm Drain
San Bernardino, CA
Outlet of the “H” Street Storm Drain, typically an 11'x9' reinforced concrete box, running through the City of San Bernardino and intersecting with Lytle Creek Channel.
This project was government funded, however, it was administered by the City of San Bernardino. The project necessitated a large box culvert to be constructed through city streets with substantial numbers of paralleling and crossing utilities. The project ran through downtown and was constructed partially during the Christmas holiday season. The requirement of traffic accessing local stores had to be maintained thereby increasing the difficulty of traffic control as well as construction. |
|
Orange Show Fairgrounds
San Bernardino, CA
JBA designed and provided construction drawings and managed construction for a 10' square reinforced concrete box culvert through the National Orange Show Grounds.
This project was funded by the State of California, the National Orange Show, and plan checked by the County and City of San Bernardino, in cooperation with the State. The box culvert allowed parking over the channel and reduced the nuisances of an open channel through the Orange Show Grounds. |
|
Meadown Brook Redevelopment Project
San Bernardino, CA
JBA completed a drainage study and design of pipes, channels and box culverts for the Meadow Brook Redevelopment Project in the City of San Bernardino.
This study and design consisted of the analysis of drainage and the design of facilities for a major portion of the downtown section of the City of San Bernardino. This redevelopment project was done in cooperation with the County of San Bernardino, City of San Bernardino and the Redevelopment Agency of the City. |
|
Reche Canyon Channel
Colton, CA
JBA produced a hydrology & hydraulics study and design for the Reche Canyon Channel. The design was for a trapezoidal channel, 11' deep with a 25' wide bottom, for the City of Colton and the County of San Bernardino.
By working with FEMA, the design and construction was conducted to facilitate the removal of an area from flood hazard as designated by the FIRM map. This was done by utilizing HEC-2 analysis to verify the adequacy of said improvements, and HEC-1 for the hydrology study. |
|
City Creek
Highland, CA
The Army Corps of Engineers HEC-2 software was used in the hydrology study and design of Rock Slope Protection for a one mile reach of City Creek, located in Highland, California.
This project was done under the supervision of the San Bernardino County Flood Control District, Caltrans, and the Army Corps of Engineers to facilitate the design and construction of improvements along City Creek. The Corps of Engineers Standard Project Flood was a flow of 30,000 cfs. The analysis and design was submitted to FEMA for a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) and subsequently approved. |

Rancho del Oro
Desert Hot Springs, CA
This project, located in Desert Hot Springs, California, was a compound design of a retention basin, trapezoidal channel, transition structures, a channel confluence and a hydrology/hydraulic study. The design and subsequent construction of the project allowed further development of a large residential development within the City of Desert Hot Springs. Flows had to be captured from three separate areas. The project included a main channel and a retention basin, earth slopes, grouted rock protection and concrete lined channels. We utilized our firm’s proprietary hydrology and hydraulic, and computer aided design software for this project. |
|
Verdemont Channel
San Bernardino , CA
This trapezoidal channel is the only fully improved channel in the Verdemont area. This channel allowed for the construction of many of the subdivisions in Verdemont. Our firm completed the original studies and much of the channel design. |
