Prudent Land Management<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Flooding<\/b> from river overflow<\/b>, runoff<\/b>, or mudflows<\/b> 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<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Indeed, land and watershed management, as well as waterways, must be adapted to avoid exacerbating flood risks<\/b> and endangering public safety. Furthermore, every construction project in a flood-prone area must be studied<\/b> beforehand and, if necessary, adapted<\/b> to reduce its environmental impact.<\/p>\n

Regulations for Construction in Flood-Prone Areas<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_layout=”dark” max_width=”704px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The application for an urban planning permit for a construction<\/b>, renovation<\/b>, or land modification project<\/b> 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<\/b> that came into force on April 1, 2022.<\/p>\n

Thus, any permit applicant must prove that their project is not vulnerable to flooding<\/b> and does not exacerbate the flood risk<\/b>. This impact study must be conducted by a firm of hydrology and hydraulics experts like Almadius.<\/p>\n

Hydraulic Study of Construction Projects in Flood-Prone Areas.<\/h3>\n

Do you have an urban, commercial, or industrial construction project in a flood-prone area<\/b> or on a concentrated runoff path<\/b>? Contact Almadius before your permit application<\/b>. We conduct a hydraulic study<\/b> to assess your project’s vulnerability and its impact on flooding<\/b>.<\/p>\n

If your current project presents a risk, we offer adaptations<\/b> to achieve the perfect balance between your aspirations, regulations, and landscape integration.<\/p>\n
