Cumulus Engineering supported Geomorphe in delivering detailed hydraulic modelling for several waterways across the Wimmera region where rock chute stabilisation was proposed. Using industry-standard TUFLOW modelling, our team developed five hydraulic models covering seven features, including both steady-state and rain-on-grid simulations. The models assessed flow behaviour, water levels, velocities, and bed shear stress, providing valuable insights to inform the design of effective and resilient rock chute structures by Geomorphe. By combining precise survey data, LiDAR, and adaptive modelling approaches, we ensured robust results that support practical design solutions and long-term waterway stability.
