Environmental Engineering

Nature-based engineering solutions

Our multi-disciplinary engineering team undertake the lifecycle management of infrastructure, including environmental engineering design, integrated water management and environmentally sustainable design.

Morphum Environmental also has a team of ecologists and environmental scientists assisting our engineers in ensuring the prioritisation and assessment of infrastructure in terms of sustainability, resilience, risk and economic value.

We apply innovative tools and methods to our projects to deliver smart, efficient design and employ low impact solutions which reduce lifecycle costs and resource requirements, resulting in good urban, commercial and ecological outcomes.

Low impact solutions that solve the problems of today

Water sensitive urban raingarden design concept to improve stormwater management and urban engineered spaces across the city

Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD)

Integrating stormwater management, ecosystem function and urban design means that Morphum’s expert team can design regenerative and liveable urban environments.

Our WSUD services focus on understanding any site within the context of its natural water cycle, ecological values and connected receiving environments.

We incorporate green infrastructure, such as wetlands, raingardens and permeable pavements, into urban developments to support ecological health and leave a positive legacy on our environment and communities.

If you’re unsure of what would work best for your project, or would like technical advice, reach out and we can help.

Design for a constructed wetland and boardwalk

Wetland Engineering

Wetlands naturally offer a wide range of ecological benefits, including water filtration, hydrology/flood management, diverse habitats for indigenous wildlife and community connection with nature.

Because of this, restoring historic wetlands, enhancing existing degraded wetlands and constructing wetlands to manage water quality is a priority. Morphum strives to maximise these widespread benefits, create natural spaces that enhance communities and biodiversity.

A designed stream and river with streamworks engineering services for Australian waterways

Sustainable Procurement

With our combined passion for the health of our waterways, Morphum delivers solutions that address current and future impacts on waterways.

We do this by designing naturalised in-stream erosion protection and grade control structures, fish passage barrier solutions, stream planting plans and hydrological models to help mitigate flooding.

By working on the health of the water first, we seek to give effect to the health of our communities, people and organisations.

Private & Rural Engineering

Morphum support clients in protecting vulnerable natural resources, vital infrastructure and mitigating risks to our communities from flooding and coastal erosion.

We can help prepare stormwater plans, hydrology assessments and design solutions to issues that affect private property and primary industries.

With these designs and assessments, we can build resilience to future weather events and ensure access to treated water no matter where or when it is required.
