FLOOD ENGINEERING
For any new developments or upgrades to the existing structures on the affected properties, a detailed assessment of flooding intensity and effects is essential to ensure adequate safety features are incorporated in the designs, and no effects are caused to the neighbouring sites.
With new advances in technology many Councils across New Zealand have the ability to display properties subject to flooding hazards, including:
1. Overland flowpaths
2. Floodplains
3. Flood prone zones.
4. For Auckland Council this is available through GeoMaps.
It’s important to be aware that although this information is available, it is indicative only. For any new developments or upgrades to the existing structures on the affected properties, a detailed assessment of flooding intensity and effects is essential to ensure adequate safety features are incorporated in the designs, and no effects are caused to the neighbouring sites.
