Welcome to Earth Environmental and Geotechnical, and a brief look at Flood Risk Assessments.
If you’re considering a new project, you want to be confident
that it won’t be a washout, because of local sources of potential flooding –rivers,
groundwater and storm surge – for example. But there’s more to consider. A
Flood Risk Assessment also needs to look at how run-off rates from your
development might affect other properties in the vicinity.
Flood Zone information is available from the
Environment Agency, and Local Authorities. They are defined as Flood Zone 1 to
Flood Zone 3 – graded according to the level of flood risk, and the size of the
site.
So – a development site that lies within Flood Zone 3,
and is more than 1 hectare in size, will need the most detailed flood risk
assessment, to be a valid part of your planning proposal.
A Flood Risk Assessment from Earth Environmental and
Geotechnical does not simply identify potential risk, we have the expertise and
experience, to propose mitigating factors that can be incorporated into a
development’s design – to minimize the risk of flooding, and its impact on
nearby properties.
Earth Environmental and Geotechnical completes many
such assessments for commercial, residential and industrial sites.
