Flood Risk Assessments

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.

Basement Impact Assessment

A Basement impact assessment (BIA) will include a phase 1 desk study to verify the site's history and explore hydro-geological conditions and surface flood risk. The basement impact assessment (BIA) takes care of the geological conditions of the area and other potential risks such as drainage, flooding, and groundwater quality. Basement changes can add valuable space to your property, but always ensure that the proposed basement development is appropriate. Earth Environmental & Geotechnical provides a complete Basement Impact Assessments report (BIA) to support your planning application.

Ground Investigation

All Ground investigations follow strict and well-defined health and safety methods. A ground investigation analyzes the fundamental conditions of the proposed site. A ground Investigation survey consists of a three-step method to acquire absolute knowledge of the soil parameters, rock, and groundwater. All Ground investigations administer using firm and well-defined health and safety procedures. The ground investigation includes any landfill/soil gas problems, soil/groundwater contamination, mining site assessment, hydrogeology, slope stability assessment, or testing geotechnical conditions of a new building or a land-form.

WHAT ARE BROWNFIELD SITES?

Brownfield Land Register - The purpose of the register is to provide up-to-date and consistent information on sites that are considered by Local Authorities to be appropriate for residential development. See More:- https://bit.ly/2JwheSl
