Flood Safety and Floodplain Management
Hydro Tasmania Consulting can assist in ensuring the safety of riverine communities and infrastructure, thanks to over 80 years of accumulated skill in flood management and mitigation. Through our ongoing responsibility for management of extensive catchments throughout Tasmania, we have developed state-of-the-art technical skills in the areas of real-time flow forecasting, dam break analysis and floodplain mapping.
We have been involved in the installation of real-time flood forecasting systems locally and throughout the world. Our services include the review, specification and installation of flood forecasting and warning systems. The utilisation of a real-time flow forecasting system can assist in the provision of advanced flood warnings that are integral in the preparation of emergency action plans and warnings to at-risk communities.
Our integrated consultancy has the latest computer modelling packages and systems for hydrological and hydraulic analysis in conjunction with one of the most advanced survey and mapping facilities within Australasia.
With in-house specialists in environmental engineering, water quality, hydrology, hydraulic modelling, law, structural engineering, GIS and photogrammetry, surveying, public consultation and economics we can tailor our services to suit your project requirements.
