Extreme weather events are a significant issue across New South Wales, causing substantial damage to homes, infrastructure, and communities. Our Coffs Harbour office acts as a hub for operations in NSW, providing local knowledge to cutting-edge solutions which will help protect communities from extreme weather events.
Our work includes national-scale to coastline-specific coastal processes assessments, hazard studies, coastal zone management plans, forecasting systems, engineering assessments, dredge studies, beach nourishment designs, erosion assessments, coastal inundation/storm tide modelling and mapping, disaster risk reduction studies and coastal recession assessments. Our team of experts use these tools to understand natural hazards, impacts and forces that are affecting communities now and into future
Innovation is at the heart of all we do. We invest strongly in research and development, responding to the needs of clients to provide bespoke innovative solutions and incorporating the latest technical knowledge through collaboration with industry, academia and government
The NSW coastline is a dynamic environment. The open coast, coastal lagoons, embayments, headlands and breakwaters all influence our coastal processes. We work on Coastal Management Programs (CMS) under the NSW Government's coastal management framework, coastal and estuarine management plans and water quality management plans. Here we have developed a range of tools to allow us to analyse a combination of waves, currents, sediment transport, longshore processes, overtopping, erosion and catchment water quality
