Water Resource Management & Engineering

We have leading edge data management and modelling skills which we apply critically to provide our clients with significant advantages in natural resource management including:

• Review and gap analysis for complex data sets;
• High resolution water balance investigations at local and regional scales;
• Evaluation of options for managing hydrological issues, such as environmental flows, flood flows, groundwater and stormwater;
• Design of surface and groundwater control structures;
• Flood modelling and assessment of floodplain risk management options;
• Terrain analysis, terrain reconstruction and visual assessment;
• Sensitivity analysis for high risk environmental processes; and
• Evaluation of the drivers of water quality issues, treatment mechanisms and appropriate water quality monitoring programs.

We apply our water resource engineering skills in coal, metalliferous and mineral sand mining contexts, major quarries, urban subdivisions, irrigation systems and natural river and estuary systems.

Our stormwater designs have earned us an excellent reputation, including the 1998 Stormwater Industry Association National Project Excellence Award for our work at the Long Beach Estate near Batemans Bay.

In addition to these outstanding hydrological analysis and management skills, our engineering science team has sound practical experience in soil survey and assessment, soil remediation, terrain reconstruction and surface stabilisation.

We back up our water engineering skills with a range of operational support services including:

• Environmental management supervision of mining, industry and infrastructure projects;
• Auditing the effectiveness of pollution control systems;
• Conducting due diligence reviews of environmental procedures;
• Design of monitoring programs and analysis of results; and
• Environmental training and awareness programs on water, air, and noise issues across corporations and the community.
