Civil Engineering

Assessing the risk of flooding for a specific location or building. A flood risk assessment may include analysing historical flood data, mapping floodplains, and evaluating the potential impact of climate change on flood risk. The goal is to identify potential flood hazards and recommend measures to mitigate the risk.

Design and planning of drainage systems for buildings and other structures. The aim is to ensure that water is directed away from the structure to prevent flooding and other water-related damage. Drainage design may include the design of rainwater harvesting systems, surface water drainage systems, and sub-surface drainage systems.

This service involves designing drainage systems that mimic natural water processes, to manage and treat rainwater where it falls. These systems include rain gardens, green roofs, swales, and permeable pavement. SuDS aim to reduce the volume of surface water runoff, improve water quality, and reduce flood risk. They also provide ecological, social and aesthetic benefits.
