Wow – it’s been awhile since we’ve updated our news!
Since the last update we have undertaken flood risk assessments in on the River Bride (Crookstown, Co Cork), Whitechurch Stream, Owendoher Stream, River Dodder (Dublin), River Tolka (Clonee) and Athy, Co Kildare. We’re currently undertaking technical supervision of a significant Mike Flood Flood Risk Assessment on the River Rye (Leixlip).
We are seeing increasing demand for flood risk assessments from developers and private individuals. We’ve recently undertaken flood risk assessments for sites in Mountmellick, Charleville, Bansha, Athy, Ballinasloe (River Suck) and Kinnity (County Offally).
We have completed a flood risk assessment for a site near Banteer. The assessment included a hydraulic model of the River Blackwater extending from Banteer to Mallow.
We are currently preparing a flood risk assessment for a hydro electric generation development near Ballingarry (North Tipperary) and a flood risk assessment for a large development in Mountmellick, County Laois. The later assessment includes hydraulic models of the River Barrow, Owenass River and Triogue River
We have recently completed a geomorphological assessment for proposed fisheries rehabilitation works on the River Blackwater (Munster). The proposed works extend from Mallow to Lismore.
We have also been appointed in conjunction with Blue Green Environmental Consultancy to analyse, design and apply for an OPW Section 47 consent for a proposed rock weir on the River Clody, near Bunclody, Co Wexford.
In a recent article for the Irish Valuer (Irish Auctioneers & Valuers Institute), Scott Baigent explores the implications of the 2009 Planning Guidelines on development.
