Water Engineering

Ensuring healthy water systems can reach people, habitats and communities.
Less than 4% of all water on earth is fresh water, and less than 0.01% of water is potable.

Ensuring our water systems can reach people and communities without detrimentally affecting our environment is especially important in the face of ongoing climate risks. At Morphum, we blend engineering excellence with scientific expertise to address the intricate water challenges faced by the environment, communities and industries in New Zealand.

Water Engineering Services

Our water engineers tailor services to meet the diverse needs of our clients and local environments.  

We develop solutions that  include hydrological and hydraulic modelling, data analysis, environmental design, civil design and site supervision to deliver projects that are both environmentally sustainable and technically sound.

Morphum Environmental has a strong history of communicating with and supporting local communities and iwi, and we actively engage with these stakeholders to promote positive project outcomes.

Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD)

Integrating water 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 to inform designs which effectively and intentionally mitigate water quality and quantity impacts and connects communities with water.

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.

Asset Lifecycle Management

As a water supplier, it is essential to understand the condition of your water assets as well as the design, consent and statutory requirements. Morphum can help you strengthen your understanding of your assets, find sustainable solutions and provide the best-quality service in line with all regulatory conditions.

We use data collection and a GIS-based asset management system to conduct risk-based prioritisation, enabling recommendations to be made and reports to be produced for compliance.

New Zealand's pristine coastline that can be protected and restored with coastal engineering projects

Coastal Engineering

Morphum's coastal engineering solutions protect coastal communities while supporting ecosystems from the growing pressures of climate change, legislation changes and coastal development.

Our coastal areas are sensitive environments that require engineering solutions to address challenges such as erosion, sea level rise and habitat loss, while also extending asset lifespans and operational efficiencies.

Enhanced Waterways

Our environment has been at the core of the business since the day Morphum was founded. We are committed to providing solutions that not only meet our clients' needs but also enhance the surrounding environment and communities.

Our team of ecologists, fluvial geomorphologists and engineers work closely together on stream works projects to create innovative designs that improve erosion protection, energy dissipation, stream stability and enhance freshwater and riparian terrestrial habitats.

We’re passionate about protecting fish passage and can provide a range of easy-to-construct solutions for remediating fish passage barriers.
