Flood Risk
Our team of engineers offers comprehensive knowledge and experience in flood risk.
We use advanced hydrological and hydraulic analysis tools to confirm flooding mechanisms, quantify flood hazards, and develop resilient and fit-for-purpose solutions for the communities we serve.
Through our strong collaborative relationship with Submergent, we can also offer detailed flood modelling services.
Water Sensitive Design & Flood Mitigation
Our approach to flood mitigation is founded on the principles of Water-Sensitive Design and Making Space for Water. We recognise that flooding is a complex and evolving challenge and that every site demands a bespoke solution. We offer a comprehensive suite of solutions by integrating our deep expertise in hydraulic and hydrological analysis, coastal and riverine systems, and civil engineering design. These range from nature-based interventions such as wetlands, swales, and river/coastal enhancements aimed at supporting and sustaining natural processes to traditional infrastructure solutions such as reticulation network upgrades, culverts, pump stations, and detention basins. Through collaborative engagement with our clients and stakeholders, we will endeavour to develop sustainable and resilient solutions that safeguard impacted communities and are safe, cost-effective, and practical to construct, operate, and maintain.
Hydraulic & Hydrological Analysis
Our work is grounded in the core principles of hydraulics and hydrology. Whether estimating rainfall runoff across floodplains or conducting transient analyses of pressure sewer networks, we apply first-principles thinking to deliver robust infrastructure solutions. By combining technical insight with practical experience, we help create safe, sustainable environments that support resilient communities.
Flood Hazard Assessment
We deliver comprehensive flood hazard assessments to support land use planning, infrastructure design, and emergency management. Through advanced hydrological and hydraulic modelling, we can estimate when, where, and how flooding may occur, and quantify the risks and hazards to people, property, and critical infrastructure. Our assessments provide the evidence needed to make confident, informed decisions that enhance community resilience and safety.
Catchment Planning
We combine expertise in hydrology, land use analysis, hydraulic modelling, and infrastructure design to support the development of comprehensive Catchment Management Plans (CMPs). These plans help our clients manage water resources and infrastructure across entire catchments. With a strong scientific foundation, our approach enables clients to implement effective mitigation strategies, reduce flood risk, enhance water quality, and balance economic growth and development with environmental sustainability.
Coastal & River Processes
We help protect infrastructure from erosion, inundation, and flooding by assessing and managing coastal and riverine processes. Using advanced modelling techniques and up-to-date field data, we analyse the effects of tides, waves, sediment transport, and river dynamics. This allows us to design technical solutions that are not only practical and environmentally sustainable, but also resilient to future climate and land use pressures.
