Storm water & flood protection

Artelia has pioneered advanced mathematical modelling of river and sea flooding, designing numerous protection systems and developing expertise in assessing and reducing the vulnerability of public and private buildings. We implement risk mitigation measures for urban areas and strategic industrial sites, collaborating on flood management and prevention plans and defining emergency strategies based on cost-benefit analyses.

Our teams develop innovative flood warning and forecasting systems, design and upgrade water defences and build resilient infrastructure, with a focus on protecting road and rail bridges.

We place great emphasis on stormwater management, analysing and modelling sewer networks to improve the collection, storage, treatment and reuse of rainwater. We offer sustainable solutions such as large-capacity underground reservoirs and nature-based interventions, helping to reduce hydrogeological risk and promote resilient urban development.
