Integrated Water Management Services

Engineering Sustainable Water Solutions.

We design and implement integrated water management and drainage systems that protect the environment and public health. By satisfying all regulatory requirements, we ensure your project’s long-term success and resilience.

What is Integrated Water Management?

Effective water management involves the strategic planning, design, and implementation of systems for the safe management of the entire water cycle on a development site—from rainwater and rivers to foul water. In the UK, a holistic drainage and flood risk strategy is non-negotiable for gaining planning permission. It is essential for mitigating flood risk, preventing pollution, and protecting public health, forming a critical component of any sustainable development.

Risk-Assessment Environmental

Our Water Management Services

Our expertise covers the full water cycle for any development.

  • Flood Risk & Consequence Assessments Our team provides detailed assessments to understand and mitigate the impact of your development on local flood risk, and vice versa. Our reports are crucial for projects within flood zones, providing the clear evidence needed for planning approval.
 
  • Watercourse Management & Consenting We manage all aspects of on-site watercourses, from rivers to culverts. This includes designing diversions and securing the necessary consents from the Environment Agency or Lead Local Flood Authorities (LLFAs) to ensure your project proceeds smoothly.
 
  • Integrated Drainage Strategy & Design. We develop comprehensive drainage strategies that manage foul and surface water as a single, efficient system. Our designs are cost-effective, practical to build, and fully compliant with UK building regulations and water authority standards.
 
  • Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) We are specialists in designing SuDS that mimic natural drainage. By integrating features like swales, permeable paving, and retention ponds, we manage surface water runoff, improve water quality, and enhance site biodiversity.
  •  
  • Off-Mains Drainage Solutions For sites not connected to the public sewer, we design robust private systems, including septic tanks and package treatment plants, ensuring they are environmentally safe and compliant with Environment Agency regulations.
