Research and Innovation

Morphum Environmental are active in the development of innovative design concepts and cutting edge research papers. In September of 2004 Morphum won a place in Auckland University’s "Spark" Innovation competition with the concept design for a mobile sediment removal device for water utility operators, otherwise known as "Seditrol: 100". Currently this concept is being developed further and a prototype is being developed in a joint venture with Brian Perry Civil.
