Services

Specialist input for design teams and developers

We work as a specialist sub-consultant to lead engineering consultants, and directly for master developers and government entities.

Hydrology & flood risk

Catchment delineation, rainfall–runoff modelling, design peak flows, flood risk assessment and mitigation studies.

Hydraulic modelling

Analysis of potable water, sewerage, firefighting and stormwater networks, as specialist input to the design team.

Surge analysis

Transient (water hammer) analysis and protection for pressurised pipelines and pumping systems.

STP & WTP review

Specifications, tender review and performance review of sewage and water treatment plants, including RO plants.

Infrastructure planning support

Hydrology and drainage input to road and utility master plans.

Technical advisory

Client-side advisory, independent design review and coordination with authorities.

How we work on roads and infrastructure

From terrain model to authority-ready report

Roads and embankments intercept natural runoff. Our studies establish the contributing catchments, design peak flows and flood-prone locations, so the design team can locate and size cross-drainage and protect the road.

Data review

Alignment and profile, survey, DEM / DTM, rainfall and IDF data, soils and land use.

Catchments

GIS terrain processing, catchment and stream-network delineation, crossing identification.

Rainfall–runoff

Design storms to authority criteria; SCS / NRCS curve number; peak flows per return period.

2D flood modelling

Rain-on-grid and 1D/2D models for depth, velocity and water-surface levels.

Flood risk

Road flood-risk classification, velocity / depth mapping, crossing advisory.

Reporting

Reports, peak-flow schedules and GIS deliverables in ESRI shapefile format.
