Enrico Isnenghi Water Environment Department Manager
Water is an invaluable resource for human life and the environment. Its sustainable management is essential and requires a strategic approach to protect and enhance water quality – and its availability – while at the same time managing any potential associated flood risk. This is made even more urgent by the impact that climate change is already having on water resources, with an increased frequency and magnitude of flooding in parallel to prolonged periods of drought.
Our water resources experts – a team of teams covering all key aspects of hydrology consultancy – offer the wide and interconnected range of services needed for the joined-up management of water – more specifically of surface water.
Our hydraulic modelling specialists add the expertise needed to investigate flood risk constraints and help our clients to identify development options and solutions which are both safe and do not increase flood risk elsewhere.
We design SuDS to deliver multifunctional benefits, which will result in improvements in water quality and biodiversity, as well as benefits for amenity. This supports the sustainable development of our cities proving green/blue infrastructure in the public realm and highways on behalf of developers, highways authorities and lead local flood authorities.
We help developers in unlocking complex sites assessing flood risk management options from the feasibility stage and developing drainage solutions which are embedded into the masterplanning process, developed through planning and progressed into the detailed design stage.
We monitor and protect water quality integrating our surface and groundwater specialisms and supporting water companies and highways authorities.
We work for a wide range of clients including local authorities, water companies, highways authorities, developers and contractors. We support any type of project embedding flood risk mitigation measures and resilience into the design from the feasibility stage down to the detailed design stage.
There is no sustainable development without sustainable water management. We’re proud to help our clients in their goals to protect water resources, optimise their use and improve their resilience to flood risk.
Together with our clients and the collective knowledge of our 22,000 engineers, consultants and other specialists, we co-create solutions to address urbanisation, capture the power of digitalisation, and make our societies more sustainable. With international multi-disciplinary teams, we can call on the right insight and technical capability at the right time from across Buildings, Infrastructure, Advisory & Planning and Compliance.
