Flood forecasting
- A unique surface water flood warning service for surface water at the property level.
- Warnings up to 48 hours in advance driven by live, hydrodynamic modelling.
- Over and above river and coastal warnings issued by government.
Proactively mitigate and minimise disruption for energy companies
Protecting critical infrastructure and understanding the risks to networks with our Flood Intel Platform
- 24/7 Flood warnings to keep you one step ahead *
- x5Increase in flood losses expected by 2050 *
- $190 billionWhat the energy sector supply chain contributed to the UK economy in 2022 *
Our solution for the energy sector: The Previsico Flood Intel Platform
A first-of-its-kind combination of technologies to forecast the types of floods that catch energy providers off guard.
Benefits for energy providers
- Provides timely information on surface water flood risk to inform event response.
- Supports actioning of requests for help from customers during and/or after events (front-end triage).
- Sensors support accurate and effective monitoring of water levels and conveyance (above and below ground) across significant geographical scales in near-real-time to inform understanding of risks to networks and infrastructure.
Mitigates impact and losses from:
- Severe impact to critical infrastructure e.g. towers, power plants and substations.
- Shutdown of electricity production and power outages for customers.
- Network repairs.
- Increased operational costs ad subsequent higher bills for customers.
Our Services
Hydrological monitoring (including drainage)
- Sensor-driven insights into drainage performance, hydrological systems, flood risk, groundwater, and wastewater assets.
- Assets instrumented include river, tidal and intertidal systems, screened culverts and surface water (SuDS, gullies, attenuation tanks), and wastewater drainage assets (sewers).
Flood risk insights
Leveraging existing sensor data and bespoke models to:
- Identify risk patterns.
- Inform current and future flood risk analysis.
case study
Environmental Risk & Assurance to NGET's assets
Previsico provides flood forecast and sensor data for NGET's primary substation locations to support climate risk analysis and the categorising of the risk of extreme weather events.
Collaborations like this are helping us unlock the new capabilities we will need to manage our assets in the face of the increasing impacts of climate change. The project will harness the data available to us more effectively, to ensure our network infrastructure remains resilient against extreme weather events in the future.
Alert relevant team members of upcoming flood risks
Have all essential team members receive actionable flood alerts when critical risk thresholds are exceeded to enable proactive measures to be taken to reduce the impact of incoming flooding.
