Flood Risk

Over the last 10 years we have seen a number of floods which has led to stringent planning policies relating to flood risk and development. Our team of engineers are well versed in providing Flood Risk Assessments (FRA) for a variety of flood sources, including from rivers, the sea, groundwater, overland flow and manmade sources such as drains and sewers.

We are particularly keen that our Flood Risk Assessments do not become just an academic exercise and that they always have a focus on constructability, which is especially important when it comes to Sustainable Drainage Solutions.

The team also have the ability to incorporate Hydraulic analysis of watercourses and breach events into the Flood Risk Assessments through the use of specialist software. Our excellent relationship with the local authority and Environment Agency also means that we can provide early discussions and advocacy on a project.

In addition to the examples above, we consider ourselves adept at challenging projects, and would welcome new and innovative schemes for us to test our skills! Should any of our services be of interest, please contact us via any of the methods available on our Contact Us page.

Having worked in partnership with Canham Consulting over the past ten years on many varied projects we have found the company and their staff members to be trustworthy and helpful and would not hesitate to recommend them to any potential enquirer. Canham Consulting have become our preferred choice of Structural and Civil Engineers.

We have worked with Canham Consulting over the past ten years, their approach to structural problems has been creative and their service prompt and professional.

Much of our work involves contemporary insertions into listed buildings and Canhams are sensitive to traditional structures while being appreciative of a contemporary approach to design.

Canhams offer an approachable service, a dialogue to discuss possibilities to enable concepts to come to fruition stretching the building and structural innovation to deadlines and mindful of client budget.

I am a sole practitioner architect in Norwich with over thirty years experience, the last fifteen of which have been spent running my own Practice, with a speciality in historic building work.

I have worked with Canham Consulting regularly over the last twenty years and they now provide structural advice on all my projects. During this time they have always provided an excellent engineering consultancy service. I have worked with various members of their team, and the service I have received has been and is exemplary. The scale of my work is relatively small, but they have always responded quickly and have the ability to contribute positively to a design at all stages. In addition they have always been a pleasure to work with and their friendly approach runs right through the Practice
