Leila Pike is a licensed professional engineer in GEI’s Portland, ME office. She has worked throughout North America on civil and water resources projects. She applies her skillsets to hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, coastal modeling, and groundwater investigation studies. She performs comprehensive hydrologic and hydraulic modeling studies for municipalities, state agencies, industries, federal organizations, and land owners.

Her riverine work supports tidal marsh restoration, scour analyses and sediment transport studies, hypothetical dam failure, spillway capacity, flood routing, and inundation mapping as part of state and federal dam safety programs. Her coastal work includes characterizing storm parameters such as wind speeds and wave heights; performing wave propagation modeling, wave setup analysis, wave runup and overtopping modeling; and mapping of flood inundation extents.

Leila is experienced in several modeling programs, including HEC-RAS, SRH, STWAVE, SWAN, ACES, WHAFIS, MODFLOW, MT3DMS; and programs and methodologies to calculate wave runup, such as TAW and RUNUP2. She supports her work with ArcGIS.
