Water Engineering

Hydrological Modelling and Stormwater Design You Can Rely On

New Zealand is lucky to have such abundant water.

In a geotechnical context, it is essential to consider the ongoing impact of rainfall, nearby watercourses, and the water table on the feasibility and longevity of your land use scenario.

Hydrology and stormwater naturally fall within the scope of a Geotechnical Engineer’s expertise. This extends to watercourse erosion control, overland flow management, and rainwater collection and storage.
