River & Catchment Engineering Programs
Investment in scoping efforts during the early stages of a project can save time and money down the track. No matter how big or small the scope, kastorworks is here to share experience and collaborate with your team on the planning and avoidance of potential pitfalls that can occur in river and catchment projects. If you require assistance with concept, development, or review, let the experience at kastorworks help you with your environment plans, procedures, and/or consents.
Stormwater & Flood Hazard Assessment (Hydrology & Hydraulic Modelling)
Strong understanding of the related sciences and years of validated experience with industry standard integrated catchment and 2D modelling packages - such as InfoWorks ICM, DHI MIKE, HEC-RAS, amongst others - ensures your hydrology and hydraulic results match the real world. Whether your needs are floor level assessments, stormwater network analysis, mitigation work proof-of-concept, extreme weather event analysis, or design input requirement, kastorworks can provide the specialised modelling investigation and reporting you need to make the right environmental decisions.
Dam Break Analysis
Meeting requirements of current dam safety regulation demands accurate understanding of the hazards that could be present following an unfortunate incident of failure of your classified asset. Experienced model creation and dam break simulations at kastorworks can help ensure your planning requirements are met, and appropriate mitigation measures are taken if required. If your asset is hydro related, irrigation, or flood protection let kastorworks help ensure your asset is safe and meets current standards.
Erosion & Flood Mitigation
In-house knowledge and experience with large flood events and the ability to accurately model and estimate forces at work in a river environment, combined with years of design and built works from stopbanks to riprap revetements, kastorworks can help you develop a consent-approved engineering solution that works into the natural environment and integrates with surrounding processes.
Hydraulic Infrastructure Design
A design track record of theoretical, practical, and proven application in both open and closed channel hydraulics ensures you end up with a stormwater or flood protection asset that has both the function and life-cycle you envision. Whether your needs are fish passage, culverts and conveyance, channel revitalisation and/or design, or control and energy dissipation structures, kastorworks is here to service your design needs and make sure you get the asset you require.
Gravel Management
kastorworks gravel analysis experience and methods, refined in collaboration with numerous NZ consenting authorities over the years, can help your organisation make the right decisions for sustainable resource management. Quantifying and understanding areas of erosion, deposition, and overall change in geomorphology through traditional survey and advanced surface techniques can provide your team with the information it requires to take the right steps forward.
Expert Witness / Peer Review
kastorworks' in-house experience with Environment Court hearings and thorough approach to constructive engineering peer review can help your organization navigate through challenging times and ensure the finer technical details are interrogated properly and communicated back through open and productive feedback.
Site Civils
SiteSafe certification, safety focused mindset, and qualified project management experience here at kastorworks can help monitor, document, and report the site civils associated with your river and catchment engineering project.
