Emergency Coastal Works
Rapid Response Coastal Protection & Erosion Control
Extreme weather events like Tropical Cyclones and storm surges can reshape coastlines, causing severe beach erosion, infrastructure damage, and increased flood risks. In the aftermath of major storms, councils, coastal asset managers and developers must act quickly to assess damage and implement emergency measures to protect vulnerable areas.
​
At International Coastal Management (ICM), we specialise in coastal engineering consulting, design, and project management for storm recovery, erosion control, and long-term resilience planning. With over 40 years of experience and 1,200+ successful projects, we provide expert guidance on restoring damaged coastlines, assessing risks, and developing tailored protection strategies.

Cyclone Alfred Erosion & Emergency Coastal Protection
As Tropical Cyclone Alfred moves towards South East Queensland, coastal communities from Moreton Bay to the Gold Coast are experiencing dangerous surf, high tides, storm surges, and erosion threats. Early reports indicate potential risks in Bribie Island, Redcliffe, Pumicestone, Golden Beach, Torquay, Hervey Bay, the Mary River in Gympie, the Gold Coast and island communities off the Brisbane coast.
​
While long-term coastal resilience is critical, immediate response measures may be required to stabilise shorelines, protect assets, and ensure public safety.
​​
ICM is ready to assist councils, government agencies, and developers with
✔ Emergency erosion control & shoreline stabilisation
✔ Coastal damage assessments & recovery planning
✔ Design of temporary & long-term protection measures
✔ Condition surveys to identify quick repair needs ahead of future events
✔ Project management for post-storm recovery
