Property flood resilience and management solutions
Supporting CIWEM to roll out the flood industry Code of Practice.
Build Back Better in Bewdley
Paul smith and his family live in a grade 2 listed property in Stourport Road Bewdley which has had three major flood events in two years. In 2020 there was 14 inches of dirty water in the property and they were out of the property for over a year.
By “building back better” using recoverability and resistance PFR measures, in February 2022, following three days of an equivalent flood (700mm of flood water at front door), Paul was back home watching TV.

Sustainable Drainage Systems - SUDs
2.8m properties are currently at risk from surface water flooding. This will increase with winter rainfall predicted to increase by 59% by 2050.
Sustainable drainage systems (SUDs) are particularly useful to manage surface water flooding, caused by storm events when the capacity of our aged networks and combined sewers are unable to cope with the volume of water, particularly in urban areas with hard surfaces.
SUDs are engineered or natural interventions to reduce the amount of water entering the sewers by storing or slowing the flow of storm water at the surface. Examples are tanks, oversized pipes or natural interventions which mimic nature and provide flood risk benefits to local biodiversity such as green roofs and rain gardens.
