FLOODING RISK ASSESSMENTS AND STUDY SERVICES
A Flooding Risk Assessment and Study is a critical process used to evaluate the potential risks and impacts of flood events on communities, properties, and infrastructure.
These assessments utilise advanced hydrological and hydraulic modelling techniques to simulate various flood scenarios and identify areas at risk.
The primary goal is to develop strategies and measures to mitigate flood risks, enhance preparedness, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Flooding Risk Assessments support informed decision-making by providing comprehensive insights into flood hazards, vulnerabilities, and potential mitigation strategies.
Hazard Identification:
We identify flood-prone areas using detailed hydrological and hydraulic analyses, crucial for understanding potential flood events.
Risk Analysis:
Assessing impacts on people, properties, and infrastructure by analysing flood depth, velocity, and extent to comprehend associated risks.
Mitigation Planning:
Developing strategies to minimise flood effects, including structural measures like levees and non-structural measures like land-use planning and emergency preparedness.
Regulatory Compliance:
Ensuring adherence to local legislation and regulations with detailed reports and documentation, supporting effective floodplain management.
WHICH PRODUCT SOLUTION TOOLS DO WE USE?
HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center's River Analysis System): HEC-RAS is a powerful tool used for modelling the hydraulics of water flow through natural rivers and other channels. It assists in floodplain management and flood risk assessment by simulating water surface profiles for various flow conditions.
FLO-2D: FLO-2D is a two-dimensional flood routing model capable of simulating surface water flow and floodplain inundation. It is widely used for urban flood modelling, dam break analysis, and riverine floodplain mapping.
TUFLOW: TUFLOW is a hydraulic modelling software used for simulating flood behaviour and dynamics in rivers, estuaries, and urban areas. It integrates with GIS platforms to provide detailed flood risk assessments and help in developing mitigation strategies.
MIKE FLOOD: MIKE FLOOD combines 1D and 2D modelling approaches to provide a comprehensive analysis of flood risks. It is used for simulating complex flooding scenarios, including riverine, coastal, and urban flooding, and supports effective flood risk management and planning.
