What is a Flood Risk Assessment?

​

A Flood Risk Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation conducted by qualified professionals to assess the potential risks and impacts of flooding on a property or development site. It involves the analysis of various factors, such as historical flood data, topography, drainage systems, and climate change predictions. The assessment helps identify flood-prone areas, evaluate the potential consequences of flooding, and propose appropriate mitigation measures to reduce flood risk.

​

Why Do I Need a Flood Risk Assessment?

​

If you are planning a construction or development project in an area susceptible to flooding, a Flood Risk Assessment is essential. It enables you to understand and manage the potential risks associated with flooding, ensuring the safety of occupants, protecting infrastructure, and meeting regulatory requirements. A Flood Risk Assessment also helps you make informed decisions about land use, design, and flood mitigation measures.

Components of Flood Risk Assessments

 

Our Flood Risk Assessments include the following key components:

1. Data Collection and Analysis: Gathering relevant data, including historical flood records, topographic maps, and hydrological information. Analyzing the data to assess the flood risk and potential impacts.

2. Site Investigation: Conducting a site visit to assess the local conditions, drainage systems, flood defenses, and any existing flood mitigation measures.

3. Flood Modeling and Mapping: Using advanced flood modeling techniques to simulate flood events and map flood extent, depth, and flow paths. This helps in understanding the potential consequences of flooding on the site.

4. Mitigation Measures and Recommendations: Identifying appropriate flood mitigation measures based on the assessed risk level. Providing recommendations for flood-resistant design, drainage improvements, flood storage, and other measures to reduce the impact of flooding.
