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.

Very helpful from pre-purchase throughout building/contract management. Sound advice and good helpful communication.

Already recommended to friends. Many thanks.

As innovative developers we have always found Canham Consulting to be ready to embrace and support any new ideas that we throw at them. They worked with us to develop the idea with a sound and sensible knowledge base together with a practical approach.

When we developed and patented a new Passivhaus building system, Canham were engaged with us at the beginning with practical technical advice and encouragement. We have had and hopefully will continue to enjoy a valuable working relationship with them.

We have worked with Canham Consulting on various projects over the past ten years and have always been impressed with all of the services offered.

We have found their ‘on-site’ design advice especially invaluable to us as we take apart old and often complex buildings. The last thing we need is a crew of tradesmen waiting around for design advice when we find an unexpected ‘something’ on site.

Canhams haven’t let us down and that not only impresses us, but also keeps our client entirely satisfied. Keep up the good work.

Breheny Civil Engineering have worked successfully with Canham Consulting on several projects. Most recently in Cambridge at the Addenbrookes Campus where Canham’s designed a pedestrian bridge foundation, terrace foundations and infrastructure design. We have also worked together on a project in Great Yarmouth where HCV routes and access design was carried out.

We are happy with the service that Canham Consulting has provided for us and look forward to working with them again.
