Water Management

Our Water Management Group provides a wide range of services for water resource projects in the mining and extractive industries, as well as local government. Our work in the mining sectors is often associated with related work in tailings management.

Increasingly, water is becoming one of the world’s most precious commodities. We understand the complexities involved with managing the water supply needs and at the same time, providing long-term sustainable solutions. We work in partnership with our clients to provide practical, innovative and cost-effective strategies and designs to assist in their water supply and management needs.

A holistic approach is adopted across our projects to help our clients achieve the optimal outcome. Our team has extensive experience in the assessment of water projects, often entailing a multi-layered program of investigation and design. Our approach to water management consists of several distinct steps, namely:

• Hydrology and Hydrogeology
• Dam Engineering
• Hydraulics and Hydraulic Structures
• Water Resource Management
• Environmental Engineering

*See above illustration for further detail of each stage.

Combining our experience and capability in hydraulic engineering and modelling, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, geotechnical engineering and biological systems, we can address many challenging projects.
