Management of Flood Risk | Flood Sensitive Sites
It is becoming increasingly apparent, particularly over the last few years, that a significant number of properties are prone to flooding or at significant risk of flooding. By determining the cause and extent of the flood risk, it is possible to take action to minimise the risk of future flooding and its resultant disruption and expense.

The Benefits
A professional study of the flood risk of a property, prepared by Cole Easdon Consultants will:
▪ Outline the actions required to ensure a
▪ sustainable drainage system for new
▪ developments in flood risk areas.
▪ Propose cost effective improvements, which
▪ will reduce flood risk.
▪ Provide a quantified assessment of flood risk
▪ from all sources.
▪ Incorporate features such as permanent
▪ ponds, which can improve the local amenity
▪ and provide an environment to support
▪ bio-diversity.
▪ Reduce the risk of flooding to the property
▪ and the surrounding locality.
▪ Improve the quality of downstream water.

How We Can Help
As experts in water management we provide some or all of the following services to help our clients address the flood risk to a property. The key services we provide are:
▪ Undertaking audits/surveys of local drainage
▪ systems.
▪ Preparing Surface Water Management Plans
▪ (SWMP) of the local area.
▪ Technical assistance to understand surface
▪ water flooding (e.g. drainage exceedance
▪ modelling to determine flood volumes,
▪ velocities and mapping of flood flow
▪ routing).
▪ Design of Sustainable Drainage Solutions.
▪ Improvement of drainage systems generally.
▪ The development of a ’joined up’ approach
▪ to flood management (i.e. assist in dealing
▪ with various stakeholders in the
▪ development of a workable flood
▪ management strategy at local level).
▪ The integration of sustainable flood risk
▪ management into urban design.
▪ The preparation of Flood Warning
▪ Evacuation Plans.
▪ The provision of technical advice to
▪ communities at risk of flooding.
