+61 (0) 7 3831 6744 environment@bmtglobal.comWe are trusted partners, supporting our customers throughout the project life cycle to ensure compliance, protect the environment, and guide project teams to ensure stakeholders are engaged and meet environmental commitments.
Our brilliant people accompany you and guide you on transitioning to a more resilient, decarbonised future in our core defence, infrastructure, and maritime markets.
We are passionate about high performance, and to achieve this, we mobilise decades of deep sector knowledge and our award-winning proprietary software tools to deliver insights into the management of the environment and climate.
We deliver specialised services that help you withstand, respond to, and recover rapidly from climate-related disruptions and enable adaptation and resilience for a lower carbon future.
Our vision is for better futures through collaboration and innovation. We will help you understand, adapt, and protect our environments, from flooding to the decarbonisation of defence agencies and government assets and from remediation of hazardous waste challenges to advising on the sustainability of aquaculture.
We are leading climate risk and resilience experts; able to communicate the science and assist you with recognising and effectively managing risk exposure, and by leveraging our brilliant people, we partner with you to implement strategy, in line with regulatory and economic considerations. We offer the complete package.
We can help you successfully meet the requirements of environmental permits and, in doing so, the needs of regulators.
We offer specialist consulting services emphasising quantitative field surveys and modelling and have a long history of providing innovative solutions to industry, government authorities and environmental managers.
Our scientists and engineers have the expertise and experience to solve your environmental and hazardous waste challenges through innovative and cost-effective remedies.
Flood studies are an essential first step towards understanding and managing flood risk. They illustrate flood behaviour and risk, quantify the impact of changes to hydrologic regimes and riverine channels/floodplains, and inform planning and environmental studies.
We offer an integrated approach that enables total solutions design for urban, peri-urban and catchment systems. We have a detailed understanding of water quality and behaviour in a whole catchment context.
The ability to accurately monitor the performance and impact of abandoned or deteriorating assets is essential during their decommissioning.
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.

Climate change is happening around the world. Ocean heatwaves cause coral bleaching events which can occur at a large scale and result in massive die-off (bleaching) of corals.
It is increasingly recognised by defence forces around the world that climate change poses an increasing threat to peace and security in the world. Its impacts can undermine livelihoods, increase involuntary migration, and reduce the ability of states to provide security.
There is increasing recognition by mining executives that extreme weather events and other impacts of a changing climate are becoming central to the corporate risk profile of their industry.
With the recent impacts of severe weather events across North and South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales still fresh in our minds, the east coast of Australia has regularly felt the impacts of the La Niña season.
What does it mean for an offshore asset to be "Hurricane Ready"? What should asset managers consider when inspecting monitoring systems ahead of a hurricane season?
To ensure that the platform's integrity is maintained during a hurricane, measuring the mooring systems and GPS data can provide remote operators confidence that the platform is upright and on location.
