PMF is an extreme scenario; design floods may differ by application. We align to the dam safety brief.

Do you include climate change?

Where the brief requires, we can discuss sensitivity approaches—documented explicitly.

We prepare packs for reviewers and respond to technical queries.

Where applicable, we document transposition logic and critical duration selection.

Routing is integrated with spillway performance and storage constraints in the safety case.

How we help in Johannesburg

We align PMF workflows with peer-review expectations and supporting hydrometeorological documentation. In Johannesburg, High-intensity convective storms over urbanised catchments increase peak flows; legacy mining infrastructure and dolomitic areas add complexity. Our team supports projects across Gauteng with studies scoped for municipal and DWS review cycles.

Johannesburg sits within Gauteng, where Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni municipal stormwater frameworks influence floodline and stormwater submissions for greenfield and infill projects. For this service, we emphasise defensible hydrology, clear assumptions, and deliverables that integrate with your professional team—survey, civils, and environmental practitioners—so approvals move without rework.
