Climate change is increasing pressure on maritime, coastal, and waterway infrastructure and assets. This means our clients need a partner whose approach focuses on minimising current and evolving risks.
We take the time to understand our clients' needs and requirements, providing unique, innovative and robust solutions. Our team has a breadth of experience in canals, rivers, coastal engineering, small craft facilities and ports.
We offer support through each step of project development, from strategic policy advice, planning approvals and permitting, to detailed design and documentation for structures. GHD uses the latest modelling and analysis to help understand fluvial and coastal processes before developing solutions that resolve project-specific and catchment-wide issues.
At a strategic level, we help clients with master planning and management plans for wetlands and waterways, coasts, storm water, floods and catchments.
The future of the sector depends on helping clients seize the initiative. GHD does this by assessing sea level rise risks, drought, and climate change impacts. We can develop adaptation plans that futureproof assets using solutions such as dredging, reclamation and beach nourishment.
We deliver a range of projects, from small canal inspections up to large scale multi-disciplinary design across coasts, rivers, and estuaries. It is this range of experience and skills that makes clients choose GHD to help develop and maintain robust assets that stand up to the increasing challenges they face.
