Rivers, flooding, and water management
As the climate changes, extreme weather events are becoming increasingly common in Australia – threatening water supplies and increasing flood risk. And with flooding patterns becoming less predictable, the need for continuous monitoring and advanced planning is growing.
Building resilience to flooding relies on an approach that covers the entire flood risk management cycle, from assessing vulnerabilities to implementing flood mitigation measures. So that’s what we do.
We offer a comprehensive range of services to address river flooding and water management challenges across Australia. This includes flood risk assessments and management plans, riverbank stabilisation, design and engineering of green and grey solutions, and flood monitoring, forecasting, and early warning systems.
Coastal and waterfront development
Australia's coastline is a beautiful, dynamic, and diverse landscape. But rising sea levels, erosion, and extreme weather are putting coastal infrastructure and communities under threat. And with growing populations and rapid urbanisation, there’s more at risk than ever before.
Meeting the needs of people while safeguarding our environment and critical infrastructure requires a strategic approach. We bring a strong understanding of coastal hazard assessments, coastal modelling, coastal protection feasibility and design, climate change adaptation and resilience. And we have a proven track record in developing and implementing practical and effective coastal management plans that boost resilience for coastal communities.
Ports and terminals
The maritime industry plays a vital role in growing economies, ensuring supply lines, spreading opportunities and prosperity, and providing the safe and effective transport of goods – especially for countries like Australia and the Pacific Islands that don’t share land borders with other nations.
We are one of the world’s leading maritime consultants, with over 140 years’ experience in designing port terminals and optimising maritime operations. Our expert team uses its comprehensive understanding of Australia’s specific environment, challenges, and opportunities to deliver sustainable, resilient maritime solutions – which help facilities safeguard operations today, and grow them tomorrow.
Pacific islands & Papua New Guinea
The Pacific Islands and Papua New Guinea are renowned for their beauty and cultural diversity – but they’re also incredibly vulnerable to climate change. Coastal erosion, flooding, rising sea levels, frequent and severe storms and aging infrastructure pose a significant threat to these isolated archipelagos and the livelihoods of its communities. Pacific Island trade, transportation, and connectivity relies heavily on ports. So, building the resilience of these transportation and trade hubs is crucial.
At Royal HaskoningDHV, we combine our world-leading maritime expertise with our extensive knowledge of climate risk mitigation and our proven experience across the Pacific to deliver solutions that address the unique challenges faced by the Pacific Islands and Papua New Guinea– and safeguard its communities and economies.
Shipyards
An effective and efficient shipyard sector is the backbone of a country's maritime economy and in defending it's shores and shipping lanes. The need for commercial and naval ships in the Indo Pacific region is increasing and therefore shipyards need to grow, modernise and be operationally efficient. Safety, efficiency, and a fit-for-purpose environment are shipyard essentials – but so too is profitability. This means constantly optimising how shipyards and the industry operates to minimise costs, maximising revenues and to exploring new opportunities to innovate are imperative in this industry. Our shipyard technology group First Marine International (FMI) has over 50 years of experience in designing and developing some of the largest and most successful shipyards in the world, as well as smaller and highly focused niche operations.
Renewable energy systems
As Australia accelerates its transition to renewable energy, aiming to add 32 GW by 2030, there's a growing focus on offshore and onshore wind, green hydrogen, and solar energy. Transitioning to renewable energy sources is crucial for meeting the government's ambitious emissions reduction targets of 43% by 2030 and net zero by 2050.
Green hydrogen, offshore wind, onshore wind and solar are rapidly gaining popularity and interest among the government, energy developers, investors, offtakers and ports. To ensure a reliable and sustainable energy supply, a diverse mix of renewable sources is essential. We use our expertise in renewable pre-feasibility studies and whole-future supply chain studies to help you find the best fit for your requirements.
