How can we reduce the risk of flooding on UK roads and highways? What do you need to do to ensure that you are safe and protected from floods? In this article, we take a look at what road flooding is, how we can reduce the risk of flooding and also discuss future proofing against...
There are many ways to prevent rising water levels in our lakes and rivers. Some of these methods are simple and easy to do, while others require more effort. But, no matter what method you choose, it is important to be proactive and take action to prevent rising water levels. Here are some ways to...
Global warming has a direct effect on culvert performance, which is an important part of road infrastructure protection. Thanks to climate change, the frequency and intensity of extremely hot and cold weather events, such as hurricanes and monsoons, are also increasing. In all these areas culverts are susceptible to huge damage or even total failure...
Flooding is responsible for a lot of highway damage. Climate change can lead to an increase in temperature which may cause water to freeze faster, causing problems when it melts. More powerful and heavier rains can also lead to flooding as water takes longer to drain away. In addition, as more people move into more...
For many people, culverts are usually things that they don’t think about or pay much attention to as they are mostly out of sight. However, they serve a very important purpose and they greatly contribute to the developed world. Culverts are essentially tunnels or channels that direct and convey water beneath public roads, trails, railways,...
Many culverts across the UK are in a state of disrepair, reducing their effectiveness of moving water away from vital infrastructure and buildings. A culvert cleaning inspection and rehabilitation work will bring your culvert back into effective operation, ensuring surface water flows away to reduce flooding risks caused by blockages while also checking the structural...
Flooding in the UK is nothing new, but floods created by heavy rainfall only occurred every few years in previous decades. New generations are now witnessing flooding several or many times a year. The culprit is, of course, changing weather patterns driven by climate change. This adds an extra-layer of importance to the roles that...
Major flood events are becoming more common as the population grows and existing infrastructure becomes overwhelmed by heavy rainfall, the frequency of which is being driven upwards by climate change. Currently, 2.8 million properties, residential and commercial, in England are vulnerable to surface water flooding. Culverts are the nation’s first line of defence in hazard...
Climate change effects investments Flood risk management provides sustainable advantages and interested authorities must be able to prepare strategically in advance over multiple years and must gain a flexible capital-income balance, distributed across channels, to obtain efficiencies by adjusting and resilient climate change and attracting business investment. Managing the water environment Strong commitment by the...
