Developing Flood Alleviation Plans

  10/03/2009
The Penketh project identifies the drainage network needs for the Penketh catchment in the North West of England. By using InfoWorks CS 2D, innovative modelling techniques and working with the various stakeholders in the area, United Utilities (UU) has proposed integrated and sustainable solutions to property flooding.
 

United Utilities Flood Allevation Plans

The drainage system model build process included the integration of the watercourses in the catchment, which are known to interact with the sewerage network and exacerbate flooding problems. Initial consultation with the local Borough Council, UU field engineers, the Environment Agency and local residents ensured that the extent and nature of flooding problems were fully understood, and that study drivers were identified at an early stage in the process.  

The implementation of 2D modeling techniques was integral to the project, in particular, accurately identifying the extent and nature of property flooding where different systems were shown to interact. Such techniques enabled the development of appropriate, integrated solutions, considered from both a local and catchment wide perspective.
