CHAIR’S WELCOME<br />
Clare Dinnis<br />
Deputy Director of Strategy, Environment Agency and Chair<br />
of Advisory Committee<br />
Welcome to the Flood and Coast<br />
Conference 2017. This is a fantastic<br />
opportunity for the flood and<br />
coastal risk community to come<br />
together to share the latest in<br />
delivery and research, learn from one another’s<br />
experiences, and build resilience through connections.<br />
After the success of the first event in 2016 we are<br />
delighted to return with a programme developed<br />
by a range of flood and coastal risk management<br />
partners, including professionals involved in scheme<br />
design and delivery as well as public authorities<br />
and community groups that help to plan and build<br />
resilience to flooding.<br />
This year we will explore three themes essential<br />
to the delivery of effective flood and coastal risk<br />
management (FCRM). On Day 1 we will look at<br />
leadership in FCRM, with examples of leadership<br />
and new initiatives across different parts of the FCRM<br />
community – council partners, infrastructure providers,<br />
business, agriculture and local communities.<br />
Following the devastating floods in winter 2015/16<br />
we have seen a new dynamic in partnership<br />
working across England, driving forward planning at<br />
catchment level through collaborative partnerships.<br />
I am delighted that we have representatives from<br />
some of these initiatives to share their experiences<br />
and stories this year.<br />
On Day 2 we will focus on the importance of flood<br />
risk management to local growth, and examine<br />
issues relevant to local authorities and communities<br />
across England. This will include the role of land use<br />
planning in FCRM, the future of sustainable drainage,<br />
and the delivery of property level resilience. We will<br />
also explore the practical tools and support available<br />
to risk management authorities.<br />
On Wednesday evening we host our annual<br />
Project Excellence Awards at the conference dinner. I<br />
am delighted to see so many entries from across the<br />
FCRM community and look forward to recognising<br />
the range of partners and project teams that have<br />
contributed to improved flood resilience in 2016.<br />
On Day 3 we will look more widely at the<br />
opportunities for integrated water management. Our<br />
programme will cover the delivery and development<br />
of natural flood management as well as global<br />
perspectives on flood and water management. This<br />
will be an important opportunity to look forward and<br />
as part of this we will hear from Government on the<br />
development of the 25 Year Environment Plan.<br />
For me the unique element of this conference is<br />
the diversity of the FCRM delivery community – I<br />
look forward to the collective energy that this event<br />
will bring as well as the opportunities for learning<br />
and inspiring our future work together.<br />
Look out for our daily email with some of the<br />
highlights from each day and take part in the debate<br />
via #FloodandCoast17. You can also join the Flood<br />
and Coast Linkedin Group (www.linkedin.com/<br />
groups/8348972) to keep in touch with the network<br />
after the event.<br />
In addition to the speakers and exhibitors, I<br />
would also like to take this opportunity to thank our<br />
sponsors, supporters and media partners who play<br />
an essential role in making this event happen.<br />

Principal Asset Management Consultant, CH2M<br />
Flooding can cause extensive damage to infrastructure assets from rural communities to urban areas. This session looks at asset<br />
management strategies from: maintaining and managing river channel capacity; managing transport assets: rail and port; to ensuring<br />
aging assets continue to afford the protection we have become accustomed to.<br />

SUPPLY CHAIN BRIEFING –<br />
PRIVATE SECTOR<br />
ROOM 4<br />
Three major engineering contracting companies undertaking a range of flood alleviation projects will discuss how they<br />
structure complex projects and how they engage with the supply chain and specialist service providers.<br />
“Whether you’re interested in strategy, science, delivery or engagement, Flood<br />
& Coast 2017 offers an exciting spread of coastal interest throughout all three<br />
days. Local authorities will be especially interested in day two, whilst day<br />
three brings in international perspectives. From infrastructure to environment,<br />
homes and businesses, the coast brings its own flooding and erosion<br />
management challenges and opportunities. Flood & Coast 2017 is a great<br />
forum to see how it fits together, and meet the people involved.”<br />

Good modelling and forecasting can save money. A key theme for this session is using better modelling to optimise management<br />
interventions, whether in defence designs or beach management. In particular, it showcases some recent work to bring more reliable<br />
wave modelling into our forecasting, and to ensure our modelling standards are consistent and comparable.<br />

Head of Flood and Incident Risk Management, Natural Resources Wales<br />
The earlier session, Strategic planning at the coast, focuses on environmental risk to strategic coastal management goals. This session<br />
focusses on the challenge of adaptation for people and property, asking fundamental questions of what can be done to move people<br />
from risk on a changing coastline, with a high profile example from Wales. Where protection is an option, it is increasingly being done in<br />
a way that better connects people with their coastal environment – including the UK’s first potential ‘sand engine’.<br />

FLOOD RISK<br />
Overview<br />
We know that working with affected communities is crucial to<br />
managing flood risk. But how do community groups want to work<br />
with us? Regional Flood & Coast Committee chair Anne Wheeler will<br />
host four local flood action groups in a discussion about:<br />
» Engaging with the various organisations involved in managing<br />
flood risk<br />
» How partnership working can really work<br />

EXHIBITOR PROFILE<br />
HR WALLINGFORD<br />
At HR Wallingford, we understand<br />
water in depth. As an independent<br />
civil engineering and environmental<br />
hydraulics specialist, our focus is on<br />
the management of water and the<br />
way it interacts with, and enhances,<br />
the built and natural environments.<br />
We have world leading expertise in<br />
flood and coastal management and in<br />
the management of water resources.<br />
We develop scientific methods and<br />
models to assess flood risk, plan and<br />
implement management strategies,<br />
and innovate sustainable solutions for<br />
risk reduction.<br />
Together with a 70 year track record<br />
of achievement, we have a unique<br />
mix of skills, assets and facilities, and,<br />
above all, exceptional people with<br />
world-renowned expertise.<br />
AECOM<br />
With the climate changing both<br />
physically and politically, AECOM will<br />
explore ways in which we can all<br />
think differently about flood risk.<br />
Showcasing a number of UK and<br />
international projects, we’ll explain<br />
how we’ve responded to the new<br />
climate by rethinking our approach to<br />
delivering flood and coastal resilience<br />
to communities at risk - delivering<br />
broader benefits, reducing impact and<br />
supporting community wellbeing. From<br />
empowering people to live with the risk<br />
of flooding, to enhancing nature’s own<br />
defences to complement those already<br />
built, and engaging with planners to<br />
re-purpose existing infrastructure, our<br />
work demonstrates that given the<br />
increasingly unpredictable and extreme<br />
nature of flooding there’s no ‘one-sizefits-all’<br />
solution.<br />
The Rebuild by Design (RBD)<br />
Meadowlands project exemplifies<br />
this approach, reducing flood risk<br />
and increasing resilience to Hurricane<br />
Sandy-affected areas of New Jersey in<br />
the US. In the UK, a separate project is<br />
also pioneering a similar approach to<br />
storm water management. Much like<br />
RDB Meadowlands, the North Glasgow<br />
Integrated Water Management System<br />
project in Scotland, aims to develop<br />
environmentally sensitive ways to store<br />
and transport floodwater. Incorporating<br />
the Forth & Clyde Canal, a 19th Century<br />
artificial waterway, into a sustainable<br />
surface water drainage tool it is making<br />
best use of existing water infrastructure<br />
within the city, avoiding costly<br />
alternative infrastructure solutions.<br />
By rethinking our approach to water<br />
management and having an intelligent,<br />
sympathetic attitude to both the natural<br />
landscape and existing infrastructure,<br />
we can tackle the threat of flooding<br />
faced by many local communities.<br />

GEODESIGN BARRIERS<br />
The devastating Storm Desmond<br />
in 2015 led to The National Flood<br />
Resilience Review. Appreciating the<br />
importance of having temporary<br />
flood barriers available nationally,<br />
the government, through the<br />
Environment Agency, significantly<br />
increased their stock of temporary<br />
barriers. Geodesign Barriers have<br />
worked closely with the EA since 2001,<br />
but have now also officially become<br />
an EA framework partner and are<br />
supplying even more temporary<br />
barriers, for national deployment.<br />
Geodesign Barriers has made<br />
effective flood protection available<br />
for companies like National Grid, UK<br />
Power Networks, Northern PowerGrid,<br />
SSE, SGN and Anglian Water.<br />
Many kilometres of barrier have<br />
been distributed around the world,<br />
providing effective protection<br />
against flooding. This easy-to-deploy,<br />
flat-packed barrier is available in<br />
dam heights of 0.45m to 2.40m.<br />
The Geodesign Barriers are free<br />
standing and self-anchoring, with no<br />
fixtures to the ground. Suitable for<br />
both homeowners and large-scale<br />
use, they can be deployed on any<br />
ground surface. The flexible barriers<br />
adapt easily to local conditions, such<br />
as uneven ground, angles, kerbs,<br />
slopes and steps. They can also be<br />
deployed in water, if needed. With a<br />
lifespan of over 50 years and extra<br />
strong, galvanised steel behind<br />
the plastic membrane, this barrier<br />
system becomes less vulnerable<br />
and can be used again and again<br />
– giving excellent life cost value<br />
for money. Geodesign Barriers also<br />
provide training for best practice.<br />

IBS<br />
In 2016, IBS designed, manufactured<br />
and installed a number of high<br />
profile glass flood defence systems<br />
in the UK, taking our total of<br />
successfully delivered projects past<br />
the 1.5Km milestone since the first<br />
system was installed in Keswick in<br />
2011. Included in 2016’s successes<br />
were the UK’s largest glass flood<br />
defence system, installed to protect<br />
the village of Paull (near Hull) from<br />
future tidal surges and as a part<br />
of the wider Hull and Holderness<br />
Flood Alleviation Scheme, a project<br />
that is providing defences along<br />
the Humber estuary together with<br />
inland engineering works.<br />
These recent projects have<br />
allowed IBS to continue their<br />
unrivalled success in the delivery of<br />
these specialist glass flood defence<br />
systems. Having re-located to larger<br />
premises in South Yorkshire at the<br />
end of 2015, IBS continue to expand<br />
and support more clients in the<br />
UK, most recently by the addition<br />
of a new team member to help<br />
manage the ever increasing level<br />
of enquiries. Managing Director<br />
Ray Moulds, says ”After such an<br />
exceptional year with multiple large<br />
contract successes, not only in the<br />
UK & Ireland but also globally, we’re<br />
very much looking forward to 2017<br />
and seeing our business expand<br />
further. By this I don’t just mean by<br />
supporting more and more clients<br />
with our high quality innovative<br />
solutions, but also with exciting<br />
product developments that our<br />
teams are working on and which<br />
will enhance our client offerings<br />
for the future”.<br />
