FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT
Project Description:
Proposed commercial development in Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim, Ireland. The development included commercial and office units, car parking, and a new access point onto the road.
LCE provided a site-specific Flood Risk Assessment and swept path analysis for the development using Autodesk AutoTrack. LCE subsequently provided a CEMP, detailed drainage design, 2D flood modelling of adjacent watercourse, and carried out Irish Water pre-consenting applications. The Flood Risk Assessment was carried out in compliance with the OPW Flood Risk Management Guidelines, 2009. A detailed 2D flood model was carried out for the development including hydraulic modelling with HEC-RAS software.
Development was granted planning permission in Feb 2023.
Scope Description:
Estimation of safe flood design level
Estimation of climate change impact on flood level
2D Hydraulic modelling using HEC-RAS software
Production of 2D and 3D drawings and models
Integrated storm drainage network design
Construction Environmental Management Plan for the development
