• A clear and concise report
• Traffic light categorisation of the sites groundwater flood risk
• Exerpt from GeoSmart’s National Groundwater Flood Risk Map (GW5)
• A review of customer-supplied documentary information

• The option to include highly accurate height data (usually LIDAR data) for more complex sites
• Clear recommendations and next steps

These groundwater reports based on:

• Site location plan and proposed development plans are available
• Site walkover survey is not required
• No intrusive site investigation is required
• Advance payment is made
• For more complex sites where highly accurate height data (usually LIDAR data) is deemed necessary to inform groundwater flood risk, it is assumed that data will either be supplied to GeoSmart, or GeoSmart is permitted to purchase the data on your behalf (a fee applies). If highly accurate height data is recommended but not included, the report findings and conclusions cannot be guaranteed. This is because the assessment of groundwater flood risk may be inconclusive without this level of topographical detail

If your site doesn’t fit these assumptions or you require a site walkover survey, we can still assist but please do get in touch as one of our other packages may suit you better.

*If Site is further than 2 hours away from GeoSmart office (Shrewsbury) or Associate offices in Manchester or London, a further fee may apply. If applicable, we can provide a specific quotation.
