Flood Risk Study and Management
Almadius, a multidisciplinary engineering firm, offers its expertise in hydrology and hydraulics to private stakeholders and public authorities with construction projects in flood-prone areas or flood management projects.
Prudent Land Management
Flooding from river overflow, runoff, or mudflows is among the most devastating natural disasters. With climate change and impermeabilization, their frequency and intensity continue to increase. This phenomenon’s evolution confirms that land in flood-prone areas must be managed with the utmost caution.
Indeed, land and watershed management, as well as waterways, must be adapted to avoid exacerbating flood risks and endangering public safety. Furthermore, every construction project in a flood-prone area must be studied beforehand and, if necessary, adapted to reduce its environmental impact.
Regulations for Construction in Flood-Prone Areas
The application for an urban planning permit for a construction, renovation, or land modification project in a flood-prone area or on a runoff path must be accompanied by documents and studies that vary depending on the flood hazard. In Wallonia, the project must comply with the circular on buildability in flood-prone areas that came into force on April 1, 2022.
Thus, any permit applicant must prove that their project is not vulnerable to flooding and does not exacerbate the flood risk. This impact study must be conducted by a firm of hydrology and hydraulics experts like Almadius.
