At Flussig Engineers, we specialise in delivering comprehensive coastal engineering services tailored to the dynamic and exposed coastal environments of Tasmania. Our experienced team is committed to protecting coastal communities, infrastructure, and natural systems from the impacts of coastal erosion, inundation, storm tide, and wave action. Through innovative design, advanced analysis techniques, and a strong understanding of local coastal processes, we provide robust and resilient coastal engineering solutions.
Coastal Hazard Assessment
Coastal Process Modelling: We undertake detailed coastal process assessments to understand wave climate, tides, storm surge, sediment transport, and shoreline response. Our advanced modelling techniques allow us to assess coastal behaviour under existing and future climate change conditions.
Coastal Hazard Mapping: Using Geographic Information Systems and high resolution spatial data, we prepare accurate coastal hazard maps that identify areas susceptible to erosion and inundation, supporting informed planning and development decisions.
Coastal Risk and Adaptation Planning
Coastal Management Strategies: We prepare integrated coastal management and adaptation plans that combine structural and non structural measures to manage coastal risks. Each strategy is tailored to local conditions, land use constraints, and long term resilience objectives.
Policy and Planning Advice: Our team provides technical advice to support planning schemes, coastal policies, and development controls, ensuring alignment with state and local regulatory frameworks.
Design and Implementation of Coastal Protection Works
Coastal Structures: We design durable coastal protection measures including seawalls, revetments, groynes, and breakwaters to manage erosion and protect assets from wave and storm impacts. All designs are optimised for constructability, durability, and coastal performance.
Drainage and Outfall Design: Our engineers design coastal drainage systems and marine outfalls that safely convey stormwater to receiving waters while managing tidal influence, scour, and long term stability.
Nature-Based and Hybrid Solutions
Dune and Beach Rehabilitation: We support dune stabilisation and beach nourishment approaches that work with natural coastal processes to reduce erosion risk and enhance coastal resilience.
Living Shorelines: Incorporating bioengineering and soft engineering techniques to stabilise shorelines, reduce wave energy, and support ecological values while maintaining coastal function.
Coastal Monitoring and Data Collection
UAV and LiDAR Surveys: We deploy UAV and LiDAR technology to capture high resolution coastal topography and shoreline change data, enabling accurate baseline assessments and ongoing monitoring.
Change Detection and Analysis: Repeated surveys are used to assess erosion trends, accretion patterns, and the effectiveness of coastal protection measures over time.
Emergency Response and Recovery Support
Coastal Hazard Preparedness: Assisting with the development of emergency response planning for coastal erosion and inundation events, supporting community and asset resilience.
Post Event Assessments: Providing rapid post storm assessments, damage evaluation, and technical advice to guide recovery and future mitigation measures.
