We have led the development of coastal hazard maps (sea level rise, storm tide inundation and erosion) for the City of Cairns in Far North Queensland and used this information to undertake a risk assessment of assets and infrastructure of the City under three timeframes (current, 2050 and 2100), incorporating climate change projections.

In line with the objectives and aims of the Queensland Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy [CHAS] program, the project assessed climate change risks of 1034km of sealed roads, other linear infrastructure (water supply, sewer, drainage) and a broad range of commercial, public and private assets in the City. Disaster Management Coordinators in the region (including all levels of government and key stakeholders) were engaged to ensure uptake and effective response to the information. Stakeholder workshops were also held with a broad range of stakeholders to discuss risks, opportunities and options.
The hazard mapping developed provides the City and Disaster Managers with a detailed understanding of future risk from a range of coastal climate change impacts including erosion, storm tide and permanent inundation from sea level rise, both individually and cumulatively. This project will also include identifying coastal hazard adaptation options for the Cairns Regional Council. This will include the provision of guidance on land use planning and responses.
The coastal zone of Byron Shire has a history of erosion and inundation related to ocean storm tides and wave attack.
The purpose of this Preliminary Feasibility assessment was to establish at a high level the nature and volume of cargo demand, the technical requirements to support this volume, the marine and port facility requirements, broad environmental and metocean impacts, and quantified investment returns.
We were commissioned by Puma Energy to conduct a HAZOP Study to review the FEED safety design for the current North Vietnam Bitumen Terminal.
Following a launch of an initiative to improve transport safety in Tonga, BMT was invited by World Bank to identify what further assistance was needed to improve the ongoing safe operations of inter island shipping in Tonga.
