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.
Defence
The Australian defence market is changing. Shifts in strategic policy, geopolitical tension, and growing decarbonisation targets are promoting a substantial realignment of priorities and investment. And new vessels like nuclear submarines are creating a need to modernise shoreside support infrastructure.
Our team has a deep understanding of defence requirements, strategic priorities, and the evolving threats facing Australia. We use that knowledge to design and deliver modern, sustainable critical defence infrastructure projects, including facilities for naval, land, and air forces – enhancing Australia’s resilience and defence capabilities.
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.
Transforming your port into a wind port
We held a webinar discussing trends in the offshore wind market in the APAC region, what ports can do to meet demand and capitalise on the opportunity, and how to build a robust business case for offshore wind developments.
Watch our on-demand Offshore Wind Ports webinar to hear expert discussion of all of these topics.
