Navigating Flood Risks: How RISEN Enabled Development in Marlborough

At RISEN, we help property owners overcome development hurdles through detailed, practical assessments. Recently, we resolved a common but critical issue for a client: uncertainty around flood risk due to insufficient council records. Our thorough assessment allowed our client to proceed confidently with their property development plans.

Why Flood Risk Assessments Matter

Councils often require clear evidence that new developments are safe from flooding. When official records fall short, expert assessments become essential. At RISEN, our comprehensive flood risk evaluations identify risks clearly, providing practical solutions for your project's success.

Solving the Unknown: A Marlborough Success Story

When our client faced uncertainty about flood risks, RISEN stepped in with a detailed flood hazard assessment, ensuring their site was accurately evaluated:

• Detailed Catchment Analysis: We used advanced terrain mapping and LiDAR data to clearly understand how water moves across the property.

• Historical Review: By reviewing historical aerial imagery from the past six decades, we confirmed the site's stability and resilience against flooding.

• Practical Solutions: We recommended straightforward yet effective measures, such as strategic building placement, raised floor levels, and landscape grading to ensure long-term safety.
