A FULL RANGE OF INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN SERVICES TO MANAGE WATER FOR BETTER OUTCOMES IN CIVIL, TUNNELLING, MINING AND DAMS
PSM is a trusted firm of hydrologists and geotechnical engineers with over 30 years of experience in providing hydrological services, water resource management and other geotechnical services to governments and businesses of all sizes. With offices located throughout Australia, PSM has established a strong reputation for its expertise in water management services and working on a diverse range of projects across the globe.
PSM's team of highly skilled professionals is committed to providing innovative and sustainable solutions to help clients manage their water resources and minimise environmental impacts. Whether you need advice on groundwater management, water quality monitoring, or flood management, PSM has the expertise to help you achieve your goals.
Water Services Include:
- Hydrological assessments: We conduct hydrological assessments to evaluate the availability and sustainability of water resources. These assessments involve studying the rainfall patterns, water levels, and flow rates in a given area to determine the potential for groundwater recharge, surface water runoff, and water storage.
- Groundwater management: PSM’s team helps clients manage their groundwater resources by conducting aquifer tests, monitoring groundwater levels, and developing management plans to optimise water use while minimising environmental impacts.
- Water quality monitoring: We offer water quality monitoring services to help clients ensure that their water resources are safe and suitable for their intended use. These services involve conducting regular water quality tests and assessments to identify any potential sources of contamination and develop strategies to address them.
- Flood management: We provide flood management services to help clients prepare for and respond to floods. These services include flood risk assessments, floodplain mapping, and the development of flood management plans to reduce the impact of flooding on communities and infrastructure.
- Water conservation: Our team works with clients to develop water conservation strategies that reduce water consumption and promote sustainable water use practices. These strategies can include the implementation of water-efficient technologies, the development of water reuse systems, and the promotion of behavioural changes that reduce water waste.
