FloodSmart Reports - Flood Risk Assessment

Groundwater Flood Risk Assessment Report

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 GW Plus Report is based on GeoSmart’s 5m Groundwater Flood Risk Map (GW5). It will screen for risk and then our highly experience 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 report is quick and easy to understand. Detailed guidance and clear recommendations on next steps are provided.

Clear recommendations and next steps

Assumptions

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.
