Overview
The EMM water team is dedicated to providing integrated water solutions and high quality deliverables tailored to clients’ needs. We specialise in integrated surface water and groundwater assessments, including water policy, design, modelling, monitoring, quality, management, supply and dewatering and stakeholder engagement.
EMM have established a quality team of highly motivated and innovative groundwater and surface water specialists. Our team has the skills and experience to address all water related matters for projects and resolve and implement work with other specialist contractors (ie drilling pumping tests). We work with our clients to provide pragmatic advice and achieve practical and efficient outcomes. We provide a national service with members located in Sydney, Newcastle, Perth and Adelaide.
Project teams are tailored to meet project requirements, and ensure timely, efficient and quality delivery. Our senior professionals are recognised leaders within the water field, and provide high level advice to government and industry. EMM has a distinguished reputation in environmental assessment in NSW and QLD, particularly for the mining and coal seam gas industries, and this experience enhances our ability to provide pragmatic water solutions for our clients. We have successfully completed hundreds of projects for our clients. Find out more about our projects here and our latest news here.
