Experts in flood risk, water and the environment

Flood Risk Assessments (FRA) are a vital component of planning applications that exceed one hectare in area or those in sensitive locations.

Therefore, understanding the process and constraints on development is vital and obtaining the right advice at project inception will save significant time in achieving planning consent for a development.

We are experts in flood risk, water and the environment. Our specialist team has undertaken hundreds of FRAs across the UK and is recognised as a leading provider of flood risk modelling and assessment, and surface water drainage design.

Our specialist engineers use the latest software to assess and model the risk and extent of potential flooding from bodies of water near a development site, enabling them to design effective solutions to protect buildings and people. Our engineers have worked tirelessly over decades, demonstrating our expertise and gaining the trust of key stakeholders within Local Planning Authorities. This work has ensured many developments that otherwise would have struggled to get planning permission, were granted approval.

We continue to provide innovative new solutions for the management of flood waters, including alternative storage methods and restricted site discharges, making Alan Wood & Partners one of the foremost engineering practices working in the area of flood assessment, management and alleviation.
