Awa’s experts specialise in understanding the water dynamics within catchments. We bring innovative modelling approaches to complex hydraulic and hydrological analyses to support growth and infrastructure planning, flood management, engineering design, water quality, and environmental restoration. We are software agnostic: developing and maintaining 1D and 2D models at site, catchment, and regional scales using third-party modelling software including DHI, InfoWorks ICM, and TUFLOW.
Closely related to Catchment Dynamics, Awa’s software developers improve the quality, effectiveness, accessibility, and speed of third-party modelling software through specialised automation, quality assurance, and visualisation tools. We leverage data, algorithms, and innovative digital products to help solve real-world challenges.
Awa creates spaces where communities and ecosystems thrive through a deep understanding of the interactions between natural systems and where people live, work, and play. Our approach to placemaking includes providing advice – from the strategic to the statutory – and collaborating with clients to articulate their vision and plan how to make it a reality. From there, we have the development management and engineering capabilities to support projects through to construction.
Awa’s landscape architecture services span early feasibility and assessment through to detailed design, consenting, construction observation, and project closeout. We work across public, infrastructure, and development-led projects, with strengths in accessible design, streetscapes, ecological restoration, waterfront environments, urban parks, and community-focused public realm.
Awa provides a range of engineering design services to enable the construction of resilient three waters infrastructure that improves the natural and built environments. We work alongside councils, water authorities, land developers, iwi, and others to deliver effective, innovative, and future-ready solutions.
