Sample Projects

Campbelltown Flood Study +

CSS was engaged by Campbelltown City Council to prepare a detailed flood study for the Campbelltown Locality. The purpose of the flood study was to define flood behaviour for existing and future conditions. In accordance with the requirements of the NSW Government's Floodplain Development Manual (2005), both mainstream and overland flooding needed to be considered as part of the study.

Sydney Harbour Subcatchment Delineation +

CSS were engaged by the Sydney Metropolitan CMA to complete subcatchment delineation for the Lower Parramatta River, Lane Cove River and Middle Harbour catchments, which occupy approximately 350 km2 of the Sydney urban area. The project was completed as part of the Sydney Harbour Water Quality Improvement Plan.

Parramatta River Source Catchments Modelling +

CSS was engaged by the Sydney Metropolitan CMA to prepare Catchment Pollutant Export Models (CPEM) for the Upper and Lower Parramatta River catchments. The CPEM were developed for the Sydney Harbour Water Quality Improvement Plan using the Source Catchments software.

The Hills Urban Overland Flowpath Mapping +

CSS were engaged by The Hills Shire Council to map all urban overland flow path alignments in The Hills Shire Council LGA. The purpose of the study was to help identify all allotments that may be traversed by an urban overland flow path and which may be subject to a flood-related development controls (i.e., flood control lots).

Fannie Road Bridge Upgrade +

CSS were engaged as subconsultants by The Balmoral Group USA, to complete the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis for the proposed upgrade of the Fannie Road Bridge crossing of Big Escambia Creek in Escambia County, Florida.

Catchment Simulation Solutions frequently develop software and tools to assist organisations in the water industry. We are the developers of widely used water industry tools CatchmentSIM, Storm Injector, and TRIM.

Our approach to development centres on having engineers and scientists with a deep understanding of the hydrological concepts involved in virtually all components of the development process. This ensures the scientific rigour of our products is our foremost priority which is then complemented by intuitive user interface design. We have expertise in Python, Delphi, Fortran and many other development environments and supporting tools.

CSS is also available for fast low cost development of simple tools to assist businesses with process automation, data conversion and software integration projects. We have developed such tools for a range of government departments and private industry.

CSS strive to help our clients to make their work as accessible as possible to key stakeholders and the public. We are specialists in using the web to help spread the message. In particular, CSS are comitted to utilising advanced web mapping technology to ensure both visual and tabular GIS information can be available with the need for specialised software.
