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 manage and mitigate water risks
Support understanding of drainage networks, catchments and drive resilience into operations with our Flood Intel Platform
- 24/7Flood warnings to keep you one step ahead*
- x5Increase in flood losses expected by 2050*
- 75%Of business with a continuity plan don’t include climate risk in their plan*
Our solution for water companies: The Previsico Flood Intel Platform
A first-of-its-kind combination of technologies to forecast the types of floods that catch water companies off guard.
Benefits for water companies
- 48-hour advanced warning of flood events to enhance preparedness, inform response, and mitigate impacts/losses.
- Robust catchment-scale flow routing and forecasting technology, delivered live and continuously across whole catchments.
- Insight into wastewater drainage infiltration that contributes to network inundation and/or sewer flooding.
- Enhanced visibility of overland flow pathways, their possible implications for the entrainment and therefore mobilisation of microbes and other pollutants, and interactions with watercourses at the catchment scale, to help reduce river pollution and improve bathing water standards.
- Enhance understanding of plentiful water for rainwater harvesting and supporting drought events.
- On-hand information to help triage customer calls and mobilise response during and/or after events.
Our Services
Hydrological monitoring (including drainage)
- Sensor-driven insights on 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
Previsico were able to locate areas of infiltration and ingress (I&I) before devices even went into the ground… I couldn’t believe it. I opened a manhole and there was I&I there.
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.
