The flood report will discuss your specifications and requirements such as timescales, feasibility, implementation, and passive or manual systems.
Our flood mitigation solutions are bespoke made based on these findings. This provides you with options that are relevant to your situation and an estimated cost for each solution, so you have complete picture to make a decision.
The flood survey will highlight if you are in a high flood risk area, and identify all of the potential weak points where water may enter your building. This process outlines the standard of protection required, and provides a guide to our installers for when they return. This reduces your installation costs as any potential risks are known from the start of the process, therefore we can accurately quote for the installation and arrive prepared.
Data includes Full range of key environmental datasets including:
- Detailed information about telecommunication base stations and overhead transmission lines
- The UK’s most comprehensive landfill data
- Comprehensive natural hazards data including the most recent radon data
The survey also allows you an opportunity to meet with our team and to answer any questions you may have regarding your flood risk and products we recommend.
Aerial Flood Mitigation Surveys (UAV)
Aerial Flood Mitigation Surveys (UAV) are a new, cost effective solution to comprehensive flood risk management. The purpose of the survey is to provide detailed up-to-date data of a building or site, and the surrounding area. This allows architects, surveyors and engineers to design the most suitable protection for your site with accurate and real-time information, ensuring you are working with the most up-to-date data.
The UAV is able to provide better quality data to create a range of outputs, including:
- Photomosaics and contour mapping
- 3D models, triangle mesh, point clouds including DSM and DTM
- Spatial data – measurements, areas and volumetric data
- Photo-realistic 3D models – visually and dimensionally correct
- 3D animation fly-through
The Aerial Flood Mitigation Survey is suitable for:
Large industrial commercial sites
New build residential sites
Mining and agriculture
Coast lines
Local authority planning
Infrastructure projects
Remote areas

Alternatively, we can meet with them at another time.
