In the UK, BMT has been awarded a project by Essex County Council (ECC) to assist with the development of flood alleviation measures from surface water flooding within three Critical Drainage Areas (CDA) identified by BMT within the County.
Using the advanced modelling functionality from BMT’s proprietary TUFLOW technology, BMT will provide critical information to be used in support of flood alleviation measures for each impacted area within Essex. This will include appraisal, hydraulic modelling of a preferred mitigation, economic assessment of the preferred mitigation and a Partnership Funding Calculator (PFC) to assess the FDGiA funding potential associated with each area.
BMT’s environmental consultancy business has invested in developing long term relationships with its customers and has a long history of collaboration and partnering with Essex County Council on sustainability issues and flood modelling work.
