Water Management

Our proven skills and experience make us a natural partner and a leading provider of the complete range of services needed to support communities and organisations to become more resilient. We support and empower our clients to manage the twin risks of flood and drought, encouraging and delivering effective water management.

We are recognised as leaders in resilience, delivering emergency planning, training and the mainstreaming of property flood resilience. We also deliver a diverse range of urban and integrated catchment strategies supporting local authority partnerships on many of the Defra FCRIP programmes. Through our expert advice, cutting-edge research and practical experience –  we work with others to support private sector development and planning clients, national governments and agencies to define new policy and the practical actions required to deliver this.

Engineering

We are dedicated to innovative, integrated engineering solutions that are leading in the pursuit for resilience to climate change. Solutions that bring together traditional engineering methods, new products and technologies, nature-inspired approaches and non-structural measures like flood warning and emergency planning. Solutions that are low-carbon in their construction, operation and decommissioning and that enhance the environment and bring wider benefits to the communities in which we work.

We excel in our core area of expertise – flood, coastal and environmental resilience – providing services in strategic planning, optioneering, outline and detailed design and construction support. We remain a trusted partner to national and local risk management authorities and within the wider infrastructure sector.

Modelling and Assessment

Modelling and assessment underpin much of what we do, from hydrology and hydraulics, to forecasting and geomorphology, to economic appraisal and business case development. It is key to understanding hazard and probability, impact and risk, and planning and designing approaches to adaptation. Its effective integration into the development of resilience solutions is our priority.

We use trusted, industry-standard software but we are pioneering new methods and emerging technologies and working in integrated ways across all our disciplines to create next-generation solutions. Our expertise in established and emerging best practice from the UK is sought after internationally and supports the growth of our work in Europe, South-East Asia, Africa and Australasia.
