The industry has suffered for a long time from companies providing reports

which are inconclusive, written in technical jargon and without a clear

and concise summary.Most reports appear to be prepared

by geologists or environmentalistswith little evident knowledge of practical

and economic solutions for sub-structure problems.

Flooding can come from rivers and the sea, directly fromrainfall on the ground surface, from rising ground waterand overwhelmed sewers and drainage systems (PPS25).

We prepare Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs) forproposed and existing developments from a variety ofdiffering land uses. We can identify risks associated with the following forms of flooding:

Rivers and sea.Overland.Groundwater.Sewers.Reservoirs, canals and other artificial sources.

We utilise the latest modelling software and the FloodEstimation Handbook (FEH) to produce FRAs where theflood risk to a proposed development is in the form of a main river or other watercourse deemed an asset by the Environment Agency.
