Worldwide, 2.5 billion people (40% of the world’s population) live within 100 km of the coast, increasing pressure on coastal ecosystems.
Coastal development impacts may be directing such as landfilling, dredging, and coral and sand mining for construction, or indirect, such as increased run-off of sediment and pollutants.
The construction of a variety of infrastructures such as properties (commercial and residential), roads, ports, and breakwaters completely dominate the natural habitats and leads to further rapid coastal damage.
We implement and maintain management systems compliant with internationally recognised standards for health and safety, quality, and environment management. We offer a wide range of services for the construction and maintenance of coastal infrastructures, with particular expertise in:
Well planned, critical infrastructure is essential. By providing investment and planning support throughout the initial stages of infrastructure development, we aim to help you build your growth on solid foundations.
We have a wealth of experience in preparation of plans and strategies for coastal management and we are leading the way in providing expert consultancy services to local governments and decision-makers
We provide vital port-related engineering and environmental planning services, including complete project management from conception to completion.
The International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE) is a non-profit organisation with the mission to promote the exchange of knowledge and to advance the practice of structural engineering worldwide in the service of the profession and society, taking into consideration technical, economic, environmental, aesthetic and social aspects.

With experience across a wide range of geographies, species and groups, we provide expert aquaculture environmental solutions that are always highly innovative, practical and relevant.
We acquire and analyse wind, weather and sea state data to inform design, engineering and operational decision making.
Industry leading hydraulic modelling software for flood, urban drainage, estuarine and coastal assessments.
Using a marine navigation simulator to investigate complex piloting and manoeuvring procedures in a simulated environment can enhance maritime operations, improve marine pilot decision-making and reduce risk.
Our search and rescue software helps save lives. It combines the experience of world coastguard agencies with our expertise in marine environmental software systems.
At the cross-section of cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is BMT DEEP, a cloud-based platform that stores, manages, integrates, post-processes and displays vast data sets fast using AI.
There is no prescribed methodology for demonstrating the necessary control measures that will continue to reduce risks to ‘As Low as Reasonably Practicable’ (ALARP). However, several basic approaches may be used to support the provision of evidence and justification.
Jaret Fattori's article in Port Strategy discusses how ports are adapting to climate change and IFRS S-2 regulations. Emphasising the shift towards sustainability through digital integration, decarbonisation, and innovative fuel alternatives, he explores the significant role of collaboration in advancing port sustainability and innovation.
Our team attended the AOG Energy Conference and WOW event, discussing the future of renewable energy and sharing insights on its progress
Ian McRobbie, our Programme Manager for Ports and Maritime Infrastructure, was interviewed by Port & Harbors to discuss how infrastructure companies are collaborating with ports to enhance port infrastructure and operations.
As we confront the increasing impact of global warming, the challenges our customers face are evolving. Insights from Yaz Majrouh, our commercial partner, highlight how innovation in infrastructure projects, urban planning, and flood disaster management can mitigate the impacts of global warming and encourage adaptation.
Major Projects Lead and Senior Principal Consultant, Greg Fisk, discusses the growing need for sector-specific guidance for marinas and boat yards, in-light of increasing regulation to decarbonise industries.
While we have invested effort and resources in creating flood-resilient environments, we are far from resilient if we look at the overall climate risk. How can we expand our thinking on climate risk and become more aware of the potential consequences?
Across Australia, there are numerous boat harbours and associated facilities, designed to support multiple maritime users. In this article Jeremy Visser discusses some of the environmental considerations relevant to these facilities and identifies a management approach to overcome them.
‘Resilience of Coastal Cities’: an exploration of coastal city resilience strategies using the “QCoast 2100” case from BMT in Australia
Experienced leadership prioritizing the growth of our business through the development of capabilities and local delivery of global BMT expertise.
Keeping coastal environments safe from erosion is a challenging task that can require more refined approaches than simple seawalls.
The Marina Industries Association (MIA) is proud to announce the launch of a new and important Environmental Partnership with BMT, a leading international design, engineering, science and risk management consultancy.
BMT can now provide relevant, high quality asset management assessments of organisations against internationally recognised standards (ISO 55000).
