Service basis
What this service supports
- Client need
- Runoff, drainage, detention, and flood questions affecting a project footprint or downstream receptors.
- Good fit when
- A site needs catchment, drainage-path, runoff, detention, or flood context before detailed design.
- Existing drainage concepts or records need to be checked against terrain and available rainfall information.
- Assumptions, data gaps, and follow-up studies need to be made explicit for project review.
- What you gain
- A structured understanding of catchments, flow paths, drainage constraints, and adopted assumptions.
- Clearer inputs and confirmation needs for drainage planning, flood review, or detailed hydraulic work.
- Useful inputs
- Project boundaries, proposed grading or drainage concepts, and the decision or design stage.
- Topography, drainage records, rainfall or flow data, observed flooding, and downstream constraints.
- Applicable design criteria supplied or adopted by the project team.
- Approach
- Catchment review, rainfall-data handling, drainage assessment, and terrain-informed runoff context.
- Typical outputs
- Planning inputs, assumptions, limitations, and priority actions for detailed design or review.
- Professional limitation
- Outputs depend on the adopted design criteria, available records, and site verification.
