Fish passage barrier remediation as part of a streamworks project to restore the quality and ecological health of a stream

Streamworks
& Fluvial Engineering

Waterway solutions that are designed to mimic nature, allowing our native species to move and find habitat, and supporting erosion and flood control.

Future-proof and nature-based enhancements

Morphum provide investigation, design and construction support for river systems to private and public organisations.

We can help design or enhance in-stream structures that mimic what is found in nature to provide erosion and grade control, attenuation, streambed and bank stabilisation and habitat enhancement.

All stream components are designed to allow for the passage and migration of our native fish species.  Whatever your requirements, Morphum can support your streamworks and freshwater engineering projects.

Resilient Streamworks

Designing with the future in mind means working on erosion protection, modelling potential floods, or even regional-level prioritisation of streamworks projects.

Our engineering design team is available to support the design of stream & wetland projects, and provide expert advice moving forward.

Designed For Nature

With our combined passion for the health of our waterways and the principles of Te Mana o Te Wai, our engineering and ecology teams deliver solutions that address current and future impacts on waterways.

With the ability to assess, plan and design streamworks based on real environmental science, we're here to support your freshwater projects.

Fluvial Geomorphology

Understanding erosion processes and how stormwater affects our waterways. Our engineering and geospatial teams have experience in geomorphology assessments, mapping and analysis to help mitigate the effects of stormwater discharges.

With the support of our in-house scientists, we can provide long-term solutions with interdisciplinary understanding to prepare waterways for the future, including adapting to a changing climate and enhancing local ecosystems.
