The marine environment can be destructive, and inadequate inspections and lack of routine maintenance can reduce the viability of coastal structures and waterfront infrastructure. To assist our clients in managing risk, we perform inspections and appraisals of water-related assets that include specification of a broad range of survey techniques, assessments of risks and opportunities, and monitoring to ensure timely and proportionate interventions, as well as detailed remediation or repair designs.
Our clients come to us for solutions to manage their risk exposure associated with flood and coastal hazards. Working with stakeholders, we endeavour to sustainably manage flood and coastal risk utilising management techniques that work holistically with the environment to provide multiple benefits beyond basic flood or erosion protection. Services include strategic planning and coastal zone management, investment decisions, due diligence, feasibility studies, and procurement strategies.
Our team are highly experienced in helping communities, statutory bodies, and funding agencies to incorporate resilience measures within schemes - always working with natural processes where possible. Beyond assets, people are vital to building resilience, and we are passionate about clearly communicating to the public and affected parties the nature of residual risks and the measures that can be taken to minimise impacts.
