    Matthew Dent
    BEng (Hons)
    Project Manager

    Matthew works on the full range of Psi Delta projects but with a speciality in integrated engineering, production, financial and economic modelling. He has advanced Psi Delta’s capability in regional assessment. While his earlier experience is mostly in water related projects he is extending Psi Delta’s capability into other areas such as modelling climate change and environmental policy impacts.

    He manages complex multi-dimensional projects in water and environment to produce well-grounded reports in areas such as regional water demand assessment.

    His work in engineering project evaluation such as irrigation system modernisation and water sourcing provides insights into risk and analysis of key variables.

    Mathew’s projects often include detailed interface with engineering and other technical consultant contributors to Psi Delta projects.
