Drainage & Flood Prevention To view our pipe & tunnel mapping solutions please click here Our first priority is to ensure that the plot of land has adequate drainage. If there is a small stream running through the plot of land we ensure that the stream is not blocked and that the water can flow as quickly as possible through the land. We may slightly increase the width and depth of a stream where possible and also remove obstructions from the water to prevent future flooding.
During the summer months if water levels are low we concentrate on securing the boundary fencing first if there are no obvious potential flooding problems.
We would remove the branches and stones from this stream above to enable it to flow more easily through the land.
This stream above has fairly high banks that would prevent any major flooding but we would remove the dead trunk and some of the larger stones.
The picture above is an example of how we widen streams to enable them to flow more freely. Whenever possible we dig the sides of the banks into a nice 'V' shape.
The banks of this stream could use a good tidy up.
This small stream may not look like much of a problem but during the winter months it could easily flood the surrounding land. We would widen the stream by one or two feet to prevent this from happening.
