Flooding after every storm?
Fix the system, not the symptom.
When manholes surcharge, basements flood and the network overflows after heavy rainfall, the cause is rarely where the water appears. We assess condition and hydraulics, trace the root cause through the network and engineer the fix for the system. Regional partners carry it out under our guidance.
Typical situations
Surcharging manholes
Lids lifting, water rising out of the network in streets and yards during heavy rainfall.
Hydraulic overload
Pipes and structures that were sized for a different catchment, a different climate or a different amount of sealed surface.
Hidden bottlenecks
Deposits, deformation, displaced joints or wrong connections that reduce capacity far downstream of the flooding point.
Clean water in the sewer
Groundwater and stormwater entering through defects take capacity the network needs when it rains.
How we solve it
Assessment, remote or on site
Condition, hydraulics and root cause assessed from existing data, inspection footage and measurements, on site where needed.
Root cause through the network
We follow the problem to where it starts, not where it shows. Only then do we decide the right intervention.
The fix for the system
A concept for the network as a whole: rehabilitation, sealing, structural fixes and hydraulic changes, designed for the existing asset.
Partner execution and documentation
Regional partners carry out the works to our concept and under our supervision; every step is documented as a structured report.
Frequently asked questions
Can you help before the next storm season?
The analysis usually starts with data you already have: inspection footage, plans, complaint locations, rainfall events. That makes a first answer possible without waiting for the next storm.
Do you only work on public networks?
No. We work for municipalities and utilities, for industrial and plant sites, and with the contractors who serve private properties.
Do you work in my country?
We work location-independent around the globe. Analysis, diagnosis and concept happen remote or on site; the physical works are carried out by regional partners we equip, instruct and supervise. We have worked on projects in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Gulf and Europe.
How does an engagement start?
With a call or an email describing the problem. Usually the first step is an analysis of what already exists: inspection footage, plans, measurements, photos. From that we tell you the root cause as far as it can be determined, and what we would do about it.
