We are passionate about increasing the resilience of flood-prone communities and implementing flood mitigation strategies and design.

Providing essential services often requires reliable water resources. In turn, water can be impacted by the activities of utilities providers.

The Water Technology team includes more than ninety technical experts, ensuring we have the resources available to respond quickly and accurately to information requests.

We’ve got strong working relationships with local governments and water authorities, helping us negotiate outcomes that satisfy all project stakeholders.

Our team can complete scientific assessments and provide options to ensure your project is a success in the short and long term. We also consult with community stakeholders to understand the social factors influencing the site, while also building local understanding of the project.

It is essential development is carried out with minimal impact to the surrounding environment. Our team can assist with the environmental impact assessments, feasibility assessments, stormwater management plans and flood impact assessments.

Water Technology can assist with preparing coastal hazard adaptation plans complying with all state policies. This includes the coastal engineering assessment of hazard extents, as well as developing adaptation options and their associated risk, and conducting community and stakeholder engagement ensure the plans are accepted and implemented by the land/asset managers and the local community.

We provide expert assessments of private developments, whether at the application, planning, construction or completion phase.

Planning and constructing community facilities and recreational assets requires a detailed understanding of the movement of water through the area.

We consulted carefully with North East Catchment Management Authority and Parks Victoria to ensure the design was robust and fit for purpose.

The quality of groundwater can be affected by multiple factors, such as land use and water management changes. Understanding the source and the scale of impacts is essential for addressing salinity issues. We use multiple techniques to gain an understanding of your unique circumstances, including monitoring and modelling of the groundwater.

Water Technology worked in conjunction with Gordon Gibson Nominees and the Arthur Rylah Institute to prepare detailed design plans for the fishways, obtain relevant approvals and construct the crossings to allow fish passage.

We offer a collaborative approach to our services, specifically aimed at achieving project objectives and identifying priorities for waterway and wetland management at both a strategic and on-ground level.

We bring extensive experience involving the transfer of technical information relating to environmental issues including geomorphology, waterway management and rehabilitation to technical and non-technical audiences.

We combine our understanding of agriculture and aquaculture operations with scientific insights into the water system to support your productivity.

Balancing water demand, water scarcity and flood risk are everpresent challenges to communities in managing water resources. We apply our extensive skills across the water resource management to understand the opportunities in developing an appropriate and cost-effective integrated water management strategy. Our experience, knowledge and relationship with local authorities and regulatory bodies put us in a strong position to develop an optimal solution for your situation.

We can help you understand what the relevant authority needs to approve your development application and design your development to achieve the authorities performance criteria for approval.

Assessing waterway health is an essential aspect of managing a waterway. Water Technology has extensive experience and expertise in river health and ecological condition assessments, fluvial geomorphic and process investigations and strategic river health, planning and design projects.

Climate change and increasing sea levels will intensify coastal hazards such as coastal inundation (temporary coastal flooding), storm erosion and long-term shoreline recession. It is necessary to consider and plan for the effects of these hazards on current and future development.

Contact one of our hydrogeologists to discuss your challenges and find out if applying managed aquifer recharge, to freshen the aquifer, could be a solution.

Our team can help you find solutions that are practical, effective and efficient. We also enhance property values by considering the aesthetic appeal of our designs.

We help you build an understanding of how water moves through the local landscape, designing infrastructure that is cost-effective and protects the natural environment.

The team at Water Technology are experienced in all aspects of flood risk management and have an excellent track record of designing flood mitigation works. We help identify a range of possible options for mitigation and then work through them with you to select the preferred option.

We provide support during planning, operational and closure phases, helping you meet your performance targets and environmental responsibilities.

Our team can assess sites and analyse how they will be affected by current or anticipated scenarios. We also engage with stakeholders to understand community priorities and social implications.

Keep up to date with our latest projects and solutions. Join our mailing list and we’ll let you know when our Waterlines Newsletter is published.

Our team can help your organisation balance the needs and expectations of the community and customers. We provide the technical expertise to fully understand the water processes occurring and use modelling to demonstrate how these can be influenced for better outcomes.
