Urban and Rural Flood Studies –
Peer
Reviews
Since its establishment in 1986, Bewshers have specialised
in the assessment of flooding and stormwater inundation in
both urban and rural areas. This has ranged from
site-specific locations to whole catchment assessments for
the private and public sector. Over 1000 flood studies have
been completed with many dozens of these funded under State
and Federal Government flood mitigation grants.
Because of the firm's experience in preparing these studies
and in utilising a variety of hydrologic and hydraulic
models that underpin such studies, Bewshers are able to
provide expert peer review services for flood studies.
This includes flood studies using one dimensional and two
dimensional hydraulic models, a variety of commonly used
hydrological models, and applications using the latest
techniques espoused in the most recent versions of
Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR) and relevant state and
national guidelines.
These flood studies include those utilised for:
- development applications in flood prone areas
- major infrastructure projects crossing floodplains
- urban development in overland flow areas
- complex stormwater pipe systems
- rural catchment studies
- estuarine and coastal flood studies
- major urban releases on floodplains
- detention basin and dam break studies
