Flood Risk Assessment

We are experienced in undertaking Flood Risk Assessments throughout the UK within Flood Zones 1, 2 & 3. We produce them in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) & can generate site-specific assessments from Flood Risk scoping studies to full Flood Risk Assessments.

These can be carried out for all types of projects from single units through to large residential, office, retail, educational & industrial developments.

As part of our Flood Risk Assessments, we look to quantify the risk of flooding to the site from sources such as on & offsite surface water flows (fluvial, tidal & pluvial), sewer flooding, & a rising groundwater table beneath the site.

As part of our service, our Flood Risk Assessments provide a conceptual drainage strategy that includes details of surface water management & suitable methods of managing increased surface water flows. This often incorporates the use of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS).

We are also able to offer hydraulic modelling using Flood Modeller & its associated 2D packages, Tuflow & the full HEC-RAS suite.

Our expertise covers both fluvial, tidal & coastal locations.
