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.
Manage and mitigate flood risk for transport and infrastructure
Enable proactive measures and have greater understanding of highways drainage asset performance with our Flood Intel Platform
- 20,000Miles of railway tracks in Britain, according to Network Rail *
- x5Increase in flood losses expected by 2050 *
- 10%Of main roads are in areas at risk from flooding in England, according to Environment Agency *
Our solution for transport and infrastructure: The Previsico Flood Intel Platform
A first-of-its-kind combination of technologies to forecast the types of floods that catch transport and infrastructure providers off guard.
Benefits for transport and infrastructure providers
- Aids mitigation of flood impacts from surface water and ordinary watercourses - perils not covered by other forecasting systems.
- Supports greater understanding of highways drainage asset performance and issues across networks.
- Identify high-risk areas and receive flood warnings when they are under threat.
- Early flood warnings enable teams to take proactive measures to minimise impact of environmental damage, delay and disruption for road and railway users.
- Warnings up to 48 hours in advance enable proactive measures, such as clearing of drainage systems, and flood prevention.
Our Services
Hydrological monitoring (including drainage)
- Sensor-driven insights into drainage performance, hydrological systems, flood risk, groundwater, and wastewater assets.
- The 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
Working with Devon County Council and WSP to proactively mitigate flood impacts for Devon’s Highways
In order to become more resilient to future changes in climate, which may result in more frequent and severe weather events, it is important that we adapt our network and make effective investment decisions. Climate adaptation today is tomorrow’s resilience.
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.
