Morphum provide investigation, design and construction support for river systems to private and public organisations.
We can help design or enhance in-stream structures that mimic what is found in nature to provide erosion and grade control, attenuation, streambed and bank stabilisation and habitat enhancement.
All stream components are designed to allow for the passage and migration of our native fish species. Whatever your requirements, Morphum can support your streamworks and freshwater engineering projects.
Resilient Streamworks
Designing with the future in mind means working on erosion protection, modelling potential floods, or even regional-level prioritisation of streamworks projects.
Our engineering design team is available to support the design of stream & wetland projects, and provide expert advice moving forward.
With our combined passion for the health of our waterways and the principles of Te Mana o Te Wai, our engineering and ecology teams deliver solutions that address current and future impacts on waterways.
With the ability to assess, plan and design streamworks based on real environmental science, we're here to support your freshwater projects.
Rivers and streams are dynamic systems shaped by fluvial processes. Understanding the interaction between these processes and human activity is important for effective catchment management. Our engineering and geospatial teams have experience in geomorphology assessments, mapping and analysis to help mitigate the effects of activities such as stormwater discharges to our receiving environments.
With the support of our in-house scientists, we can provide long-term solutions with interdisciplinary understanding to prepare waterways for the future, including adapting to a changing climate and enhancing local ecosystems.
Future climate uncertainty, combined with existing ecological pressures means that future urban development needs to be founded on a more regenerative approach.
This will help us replenish and restore our natural spaces to build strong communities, and in turn build strong organisations and thriving industries.
Enhancing Native Ecosystems
Our goal since day one has been to do more than just offset. We strive to create a positive result for our environment and a net-gain for ecosystems, leaving the spaces we operate in healthier than before.
Our focus on enhancing our natural world has led to increases in biodiversity, water and soil quality, and a more promising future for our beautiful environment, all while supporting the needs of local communities and businesses.
