EXHIBITOR PROFILE
HR WALLINGFORD
At HR Wallingford, we understand
water in depth. As an independent
civil engineering and environmental
hydraulics specialist, our focus is on
the management of water and the
way it interacts with, and enhances,
the built and natural environments.
We have world leading expertise in
flood and coastal management and in
the management of water resources.
We develop scientific methods and
models to assess flood risk, plan and
implement management strategies,
and innovate sustainable solutions for
risk reduction.
Together with a 70 year track record
of achievement, we have a unique
mix of skills, assets and facilities, and,
above all, exceptional people with
world-renowned expertise.
AECOM
With the climate changing both
physically and politically, AECOM will
explore ways in which we can all
think differently about flood risk.
Showcasing a number of UK and
international projects, we’ll explain
how we’ve responded to the new
climate by rethinking our approach to
delivering flood and coastal resilience
to communities at risk - delivering
broader benefits, reducing impact and
supporting community wellbeing. From
empowering people to live with the risk
of flooding, to enhancing nature’s own
defences to complement those already
built, and engaging with planners to
re-purpose existing infrastructure, our
work demonstrates that given the
increasingly unpredictable and extreme
nature of flooding there’s no ‘one-sizefits-all’
solution.
The Rebuild by Design (RBD)
Meadowlands project exemplifies
this approach, reducing flood risk
and increasing resilience to Hurricane
Sandy-affected areas of New Jersey in
the US. In the UK, a separate project is
also pioneering a similar approach to
storm water management. Much like
RDB Meadowlands, the North Glasgow
Integrated Water Management System
project in Scotland, aims to develop
environmentally sensitive ways to store
and transport floodwater. Incorporating
the Forth & Clyde Canal, a 19th Century
artificial waterway, into a sustainable
surface water drainage tool it is making
best use of existing water infrastructure
within the city, avoiding costly
alternative infrastructure solutions.
By rethinking our approach to water
management and having an intelligent,
sympathetic attitude to both the natural
landscape and existing infrastructure,
we can tackle the threat of flooding
faced by many local communities.
BMM JV
BMMJV Limited is an incorporated
joint venture between BAM Nuttall
and Mott MacDonald (page 32) for
the Environment Agency Water and
Environment Management (WEM)
Framework Lot 4 providing Early
Contractor Involvement, and design
and construction services for flood
and coastal schemes throughout
England. To date, the JV has secured
and successfully delivered a wide
range of coastal and fluvial, flood
protection schemes such as: Leeds
Flood Alleviation Scheme (FAS); River
Hull and Humber Hull Frontage FAS;
Great Yarmouth FAS; Exeter FAS;
Dawlish Warren and Totnes FAS.
BAM NUTTALL
BAM Nuttall is a major UK based
civil engineering contractor with a
strong coastal marine and inland
waterway construction works track
record. From delivering new lifeboat
stations around the UK coast under
a framework agreement for RNLI,
to major port developments such
as Liverpool 2 and Rosyth and
successful coastal and fluvial flood
defence schemes at Aberaeron,
Borth and Maidenhead to Windsor.
CENTRE FOR ECOLOGY
& HYDROLOGY
Our science & expertise supports
flood risk and impact for business and
government clients.
We develop real-time and longterm
future flood risk estimation
models to inform early warning
services, infrastructure design
planning and disaster risk reduction.
CEH will be showcasing the Flood
Estimation Handbook (FEH) and
its software, which is the industry
standard for estimating UK flood risk.
CEH and Wallingford HydroSolutions
work in partnership on an ongoing
programme of methodological and
software developments.
