Flood Engineering & Stormwater Services

Flood Smart Engineering provides specialist flood and stormwater engineering services throughout South East Queensland, assisting homeowners, builders, developers and consultants with practical engineering advice and council approvals.

Our flooding and stormwater engineering services can be broken down into three categories. If you are unsure whether we can help you, please feel free to contact us.

Flood & Overland Flow Assessments

Properties flagged as containing overland flow, creek, river or coastal flooding require assessment against Council regulations. We are able to provide the following to help get you your builds through the Development Approval process:

  • Flood impact assessment

  • Minimum design levels

  • Flood levels, depths, velocities and hazards

  • Compensatory earthworks

  • Flood storage volumes

Stormwater Management Plans

New developments can increase the amount and alter the characteristics of runoff generated from a property. We are able to provide the following to help get you your builds through the Development Approval process:

  • Lawful point(s) of discharge

  • Water quantity measures eg. On-site detention

  • Water quality measures eg. Proprietary devices

  • Stormwater collection, treatment and release strategy

Private Works Investigations

If you have experienced flooding on your property and are looking for measures to prevent such occurrences in the future, we are able to provide the following for temporary or permanent fixes:

  • Site-specific flood assessment and/or modelling

  • Analysis of probable flood levels, depths, velocities and hazards

  • Recommendation of stormwater devices

  • Recommendation of property alterations

Specialist Engineering Services

Depending on your project, our assessments may include specialist engineering services such as:

  1. Flood Engineering Assessments

  2. Overland Flow Assessments

  3. Hydraulic Modelling

  4. Stormwater Engineering
