Flood impact analyses and hydraulic modelling are often critical components of a project. It is vitally important for project stakeholders to understand risks associated with flooding and we can model a range of projects to a high level of accuracy. This enables us to communicate such risks and develop effective mitigation and risk management strategies. We work across a range of industries, from urban development through to the mining sector.

We aim to ensure our projects do not negatively impact the environment while also being efficiently designed. We utilise ‘Water Sensitive Urban Design’ (WSUD) which integrates the urban water cycle into the planning and engineering design of a project. This allows our clients to meet statutory requirements while also protecting receiving environments and delivering high value outcomes.

Nature based solutions (NBS) aim to use systems in nature to sustainably address a range of social, economic, and environmental challenges. We have worked across the globe to plan, design, and help deliver NBS projects for both the government and private sectors, with projects in Hong Kong, Canada, and across Australia.

Our team specialise in waterbody design and in developing management plans to ensure the waterbody maintains its health over the long-term. We have successfully designed and project managed the delivery of numerous water bodies across Australia. We use sophisticated modelling software to ensure our designs are robust and enduring.

Ensuring a reliable water supply and efficient sewer network is crucial for any community, as these systems directly impact public health, environmental sustainability, and overall quality of life. Analysing these networks for a proposed development allows us to identify potential issues before they escalate, optimize system performance, and ensure compliance with local authority guidelines. Our team excels in providing comprehensive water supply and sewer network analysis, using advanced tools and methodologies to deliver accurate, actionable insights. We are committed to helping our clients maintain robust and resilient infrastructure, ensuring safe and reliable services for all.

Covey Associates has four staff that are Certified Professionals in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC), with one Associate CPESC. We are highly experienced in developing Erosion and Sediment control strategies for a range of projects across multiple sectors. We provide timely, professional, and considered advice to make sure statutory requirements are met and the construction process is able to run efficiently.

Covey Associates is able to offer both lab and field testing across a range of product offerings, including testing proprietary stormwater treatment devices against the Stormwater Quality Improvement Device Evaluation Protocol (SQIDEP). Our experienced staff are able to develop monitoring programs and validation testing protocols to assess performance, but also provide Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modelling to assist with design optimisation. We can undertake prototype testing and have the skillset to help bring concept products to market.

Our team is able to develop detailed water quality monitoring programs for a range of purposes. Whether it be developing an urban lake water quality monitoring program or assessing existing datasets to develop new monitoring programs or remediation strategies, we can assist.
