Breach Assessments

Increasingly the Environment Agency (EA) requires breaches of coastal and river defences to be investigated as part of the flood risk assessment process.

Waterco is one of the UK’s leading flood risk consultancies and has established an excellent track record of producing site specific breach assessments aimed at evaluating the flood risks to new developments from breaches in existing defences.

Our technical expertise and in depth knowledge of our flood modelling software allow us to produce accurate flood models efficiently and at a competitive rate.

We pride ourselves on our level of service and could offer you the following benefits:

1) Rapid response
2) Fixed price quotes
3) Excellent track record and Experience
4) Cost effective solutions

The results of such simulations are used to predict the extent and depth of the flooding at the site in addition to detailed information on the rate of rise and speed of onset. Using these results Flood Hazard Rating maps are generated, allowing the specific flood risk to people and properties to be fully appraised.

Our comprehensive modelling reports provide you with a detailed description of the methodology and parameters used, analysis of results and discussion as to the impact such breaches could have on the proposed developments and potential risk to future residents.

Powerful visualisation tools are used to turn the simulation results into impressive 3D animations allowing you to effectively communicate the flood risks and hazards to the rest of your team, your clients and stakeholders.

All our models are constructed using industry standard hydraulic modelling software (MIKE, ISIS, TUFLOW) which are used and accepted by the EA.
