Project details
Water Environment Ltd carried out a Flood Risk Assessment which assessed flood risk from all sources.
Due to heritage reasons the development had to set finished flood levels at existing levels.
The development proposed to implement flood resilient construction techniques, a flood warning system, flood doors to basement levels and internal access to higher levels. A flood evacuation plan was also developed for the users of the development explaining flood risk and the route to take to safety when flooding occurs.
Due to local planning policy, outlined by Tower Hamlets, London Development Corporation and the London Plan, a SuDS strategy was also required.
