Flooding

Flooding usually happens during the rainy season in the UK especially close to rivers and watercourses. This is quite acute when there is a period of heavy rainfall with the soil becoming very saturated and unable to soak any more water. The result is that it can wreak havoc on properties and infrastructures in close proximity to the flooded rivers and watercourses. Furthermore, if flooding is not controlled adequately or better not prevented then there is a high chance that such flooding can lead to water damage as it concerns your property. It is costly to repair, and insurance claims can be expensive once a building is fixed, and all interior finishes are installed. Some properties in flood plains are hard to insure thus making repairs very expensive for the said property owners.

If the building has been subjected to abnormal loads from flooding or impact, the condition of the structure and its overall ability to continue supporting normal loads would be affected and this will require assessment by one of our qualified structural engineers.

Structures are created to be robust and can implicitly withstand some force which would be considered accidental. But the reassurance which is offered by professional examination can be worth a lot at such a troubling time.

So, whether you are based in Birmingham and surroundings, Bristol, London or Manchester – Vanguard Solutions will be delighted to provide you with the engineering support you need for your project. No project is too small for us.
