An integral tool for projects across the country, MUSIC (Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualisation) offers an industry-standard platform for simulating the behaviour of stormwater in our urban catchments.
Supported by local governments, councils, and developers – MUSIC ensures the sustainable design of our stormwater network to meet site specifications and environmental requirements. By projecting pollution removal rates of proposed stormwater infrastructure, these tools help to ensure WSUD (Water Sensitive Urban Design) and the protection of local waterways.
Stormwater is the conveyance highway for urban pollutants, such as plastic pollution, gross pollutants, sediment (TSS), phosphorus (TP) and nitrogen (TN). MUSIC supports the data-driven selection of stormwater assets to reduce these pollutant loads and capture them at the source.
Projects across Australia contend with varied environmental conditions – such as available space, flow rate, catchment size, soil type, slope and application.
By accounting for these scenarios, MUSIC allows the comparison of different device configurations and treatment trains. This benefits projects by enabling stakeholders to balance water quantity, quality, and cost-efficiency objectives.
By ensuring a consistent and uniform approach to modelling stormwater devices, MUSIC provides confidence that WSUD strategies scale to meet the demands of our diverse urban catchment areas – from individual lots to suburb-level scope.
Stormwater Design Assistance & MUSIC Modelling
MUSIC is an essential tool for navigating the complexity of stormwater design. Atlan’s team can help you harness these tools to improve environmental outcomes, support sustainability, and ensure clean waterways.
Our design team provide MUSIC nodes for councils throughout Australia, which provide accurate modelling data and up-to-date frameworks for representing pollution removal performance for our devices across a wide range of localities.
Located across all Australian states and territories, we offer comprehensive design assistance, which includes –
- MUSIC modelling (Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualisation)
- Engineering calculation and guidance
- Preliminary Product recommendations
- Cost estimates & option analysis
- Customised site-specific drawings to suit your project
- Lunch & Learn sessions & CPD opportunities
By assisting your team in simulating urban stormwater systems in your site’s catchments, we can help you find stormwater treatment options that align with your project budget, timeline and pollution removal objectives. Using data-driven principles, we can develop outcomes for our communities that ensure clean waterways are a right, not a privilege.
