Flood Risk and Drainage

The impacts of the climate emergency are now more prevalent than ever, with extreme weather events and flooding on the rise.

Our team of flood risk experts is helping deliver a climate-resilient future for communities, infrastructure and businesses across the UK. We provide support throughout the full project lifecycle, partnering with you from the outset to give specialist input for everything from site acquisitions and planning applications, through to stakeholder engagement, designs and construction site supervision, training and expert witness services.

Our in-house team includes specialists within the flood risk, drainage, hydrology, civil engineering, ecology, landscape architecture and arboriculture fields, along with scientists and CDM principal designers.

We take a collaborative approach, allowing us to deliver multifaceted projects in an extremely effective manner, whilst addressing the most technically challenging water issues seen within the built and natural environments.

We are truly passionate about delivering optimum outcomes for people and the planet, and this sees us incorporating nature-based solutions within our low carbon, ecologically-sensitive, sustainability-focused designs and advice.
