Optimise Productivity | Preserve Resources

Building a world of sustainable, cost-effective and energy-optimised water and agricultural systems

What We Do

ANT | Investment Analysis Not all ideas are equal. Technical and financial feasibility studies separate the wheat from the chaff in terms of IRR, NPV and ROI metrics.

ANT | Water Reliable water systems are a critical component of our urban and agricultural landscape. Ant Consult specialises in all aspects of lifecycle cost-optimised gravity, pumped and canalised bulk water conveyance system design.

ANT | Agriculture Farming is often a low-margin game. At Ant Consult we maximise your margins through effective large scale layout planning, irrigation, drainage and effluent management system design focused on lifecycle cost optimisation.

ANT | Flood Extreme weather events are getting more extreme. Are your assets safe? Utilising our expertise in design flood determination, floodline modelling and hydraulic structures, we advise on sizing of bridges, culverts and flood protection systems as well as provide stormwater management plans.

ANT | Energy Energy costs are the primary operational cost driver of pumped water systems. At Ant Consult, we carry out wholistic analysis of existing pumped water systems to identify choke points and suggest strategic upgrades to reduce operational cost.

ANT | Solve When complex municipal water supply systems fail the solutions are often not obvious. We offer systems analysis focusing on the interaction of capacity limitations of reservoirs and pumps, as well as water hammer analysis.

We Aim To

Work alongside farmers and industry professionals to design systems that maximise productivity while preserving resources and minimising environmental impacts.

What is Lifecyle Cost Analysis?

As the capital cost of the system increases, the operating cost decreases. However, eventually the benefit of the reduced operating cost is outweighed by the increased capital cost. Lifecycle cost analysis is finding the sweet spot for each unique system.
