Flood & Storm Surveys

Survey Operations have dedicated surveying resources and vast experience of providing post flood and storm survey results.

As flooding happens in a short period of time, our surveying teams are able to respond to emergency call outs at less than 24 hours notice.

All of our dedicated members of staff are trained with liasing with the public at those difficult and distressing times.

Flood Data Recording

This process is crucial for understanding the dynamics of a specific flood occurrence, including water levels, flow rates, the extent of inundation, and the impact on infrastructure and communities.

Emergency flood data recording involves the use of various technologies and methodologies, such as water level sensors, aerial surveys using drones, satellite imagery, and mobile applications for crowd-sourced data collection. By integrating this data, authorities and researchers can gain a comprehensive understanding of a flood event, leading to improved emergency responses and more effective long-term flood risk management strategies.

Emergency Flood Data Recording FAQs

Emergency Flood Data Recording involves rapidly collecting data during or immediately after a flood event. This data includes water levels, flow rates, and the extent of flooding, providing critical information for assessing impacts and planning recovery efforts.

This service is essential for:

  • Flood Impact Assessment: Understanding the scale and severity of the event.
  • Infrastructure Recovery: Informing repairs and strengthening flood defences.
  • Data Analysis: Supporting future flood prevention and modelling efforts.

Insurance Claims: Providing accurate data for property damage assessments and claims.

Key data collected includes:

  • Water Levels: Measured at multiple points across the affected area.
  • Flood Extent: Mapping the areas covered by floodwaters.
  • Flow Velocities: Identifying the speed of water movement.
  • Environmental Impacts: Assessing damage to ecosystems and infrastructure.

Survey Operations utilises advanced techniques and equipment, such as:

  • GNSS Technology: For accurate geospatial positioning.
  • UAVs (Drones): Capturing aerial imagery of the flood extent.
  • Hydrographic Vessels: Measuring water depth and flow in rivers and flooded areas.

Mobile Mapping: Rapid data collection across wide areas.
