Drainage Authorities

Back to sectors

Our specialist team has more than three decades’ experience of land drainage and flood mitigation, resilience and protection

We provide expert assistance to drainage authorities, and water-level and flood-risk management organisations to ensure that their capital project objectives are met.

Planned development, environmental issues, regulatory compliance and accelerating climate change, have made the management of water assets increasingly challenging. Our deep understanding of the policy environment, and cost-effective, pragmatic engineering design can help deliver operational efficiency with reduced risk and maintenance costs.
