Stormwater & Nature-Based Systems: planning the first engagement

Overview

Combine drainage engineering with landscape, catchment and maintenance requirements to manage runoff and support resilience.

Begin with the operating objectives, existing asset information and site constraints. Review what is known, what is assumed and which field observations are needed before design decisions are made.

A focused engagement can cover catchment and drainage assessment, stormwater system design, nature-based solution appraisal. Define the deliverables and review responsibilities with the client team, including the future operator.

The handover should explain the baseline, design assumptions, outstanding issues and the monitoring needed after implementation. This is a planning perspective; the final technical scope depends on the project.

Key considerations

• Catchment and drainage assessment
• Stormwater system design
• Nature-based solution appraisal
• Flood resilience planning
• Maintenance and inspection strategy
