Flood Risk Assessment
We undertake Flood Risk Assessments including:
​
-
Pre-purchase due-diligence;
-
Flood Risk Assessments for campsites, new industrial developments, domestic housing, aquaculture and others;
-
Post-flood reviews.
Some background on what we do is shown below but if you have a bespoke flood risk assessment requirement please let us know.
Flood Risk Assessments can take a variety of forms from simple site observations and desktop reviews to more detailed modelling using site acquired topographic survey and hydrological/hydraulic modelling.
​
We always aim to explain the proposed approach and risks associated with any study at the outset as there is no guarantee that development will meet planning policy.
​
Post-flood reviews help understand the mechanisms of flooding and can help home and business owners understand the likely frequency of such flooding. These can be required by insurance companies.
​
The work involves ascertaining the extent and damage associated with a specific flood event and placing this within the longer-term flood history to understand the likely frequency of such events.
