FLOOD RISK & PLANNING
We provide clear, defensible flood risk advice to support planning, development, and strategic land use decisions. Our experience across the UK and Australia allows us to navigate complex regulatory environments and deliver outputs aligned with local policy and national guidance.
We draw on multi-source flood data, including fluvial, pluvial, tidal, and groundwater, to develop a comprehensive understanding of risk. Our focus goes beyond assessment; we identify practical mitigation strategies that enable development while maintaining compliance.
Our Flood Risk and Planning Services include:
-
Flood Risk Assessments (FRA) for planning and development
-
Strategic Flood Risk Assessments (SFRA)
-
Development Impact Assessments (DIA)
-
Surface Water Management Plans (SWMP)
-
Sequential and Exception Test support
-
Site-specific risk analysis, mapping, and stakeholder engagement
MODELLING & TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
Hydraulic modelling sits at the core of our work. We develop, apply, and interpret models to support flood risk management, infrastructure design, and strategic decision-making across projects of all scales.
Our experience spans fluvial, pluvial, tidal, and fully integrated systems—from small, site-specific models to large, strategic catchment-wide systems. Using leading industry software and modern computational approaches, we deliver high-resolution models that provide accurate, actionable insight.
Beyond flood risk, we use modelling to understand system behaviour, test design scenarios, and support environmental and water quality assessments—helping clients extract maximum value from their models.
Our Modelling & Technical Analysis Services include:
-
Hydraulic and integrated catchment modelling
-
Flood mapping and hazard assessment
-
Model build, calibration, verification, and optimisation
-
Water quality & Urban Pollution Modelling (UPM)
-
Water balance and system behaviour analysis
-
Model audit, troubleshooting, and performance testing
STRATEGY, DESIGN & DECISION SUPPORT
We translate technical analysis into practical, buildable solutions that support successful project delivery. Our work helps clients make informed decisions by balancing technical feasibility, cost, risk, and regulatory requirements.
We collaborate closely with design teams, planners, and stakeholders to ensure solutions are integrated, efficient, and aligned with wider project objectives. Whether developing drainage strategies or supporting major investment decisions, our approach is pragmatic and outcome-focused.
Our Strategy, Design & Decision Support Services include:
-
Drainage strategy development and SuDS design
-
Site constraint analysis and layout optimisation
-
Option appraisal and business case development
-
Cost-benefit analysis and economic assessment (CAPEX/OPEX)
-
Mitigation strategy development
-
Support through planning and design stages
DATA, ASSURANCE & DELIVERY
We enhance project outcomes through strong data insight, technical assurance, and experienced leadership. Our focus is on improving quality, efficiency, and consistency across complex projects and programmes.
We work with large and complex datasets to extract meaningful insights, supported by GIS, automation, and bespoke tools. Alongside this, we provide independent technical review and assurance to ensure outputs are robust, defensible, and meet regulatory and client expectations.
We also support organisations in improving how they deliver work—through process optimisation, tool development, and targeted training—helping teams work smarter and deliver better results.
Our Data, Assurance & Delivery Services include:
-
Data analysis, GIS mapping, and visualisation
-
Technical review, audit, and assurance
-
Project and programme leadership
-
Stakeholder and client engagement
-
Process improvement, workflow optimisation, and automation
-
Tool development, training, and capability building
