What does it solve?

GeoSmart’s Groundwater Reports are the first ever available to demonstrate the risk to a site from groundwater flooding. It provides the most accurate method of screening and assessment at postcode level available.

The FloodSmart GroundWater Plus Report is based on GeoSmart’s 5m Groundwater Flood Risk Map (GW5). It will screen for risk and then our highly experienced hydrologists will investigate the physical and environmental setting, including local geology, groundwater levels and topography. As a further cost option, LIDAR data can be used for more complex sites.

Based on a simple traffic light system, the flood risk report is quick and easy to understand. Detailed guidance and clear recommendations on next steps are provided.

Features
  • A clear and concise report

  • Exerpt from GeoSmart’s National Groundwater Flood Risk Map (GW5)
  • A review of customer-supplied documentary information
  • Physical and environmental setting review including a review of local geology, groundwater level data and topography (elevations based on Ordinance Survey map data)

Assumptions

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.

"During the conveyancing process for my current house purchase, I was extremely concerned to find the general search results revealed the house was at 'moderate risk of groundwater flooding'. I was unable to get any further information from anyone until I contacted GeoSmart. The staff I spoke to were friendly, helpful, efficient and extremely knowledgeable. The information provided was very site specific and focused. The staff member who talked me through the information and maps provided was very knowledgeable, answered all my questions and allowed me plenty of time to discuss issues. Thanks to GeoSmart for their great service."
