Watch how it's done
Quick and easy modelling
As part of your flood risk assessment, detailed flood modelling may be required. Many companies sub-contract this part of the process as they don’t have the resources available to undertake such technical work. Unfortunately, using external providers can be costly and slow down project delivery.
Starting from as little as £150 per month, Flood Modeller enables you to take full control of your FRAs and quickly and confidently identify the source of potential flooding and secure regulatory approval fast
The software provides everything you need to model different sources of flooding, including rivers, surface water and urban drainage systems. Its intuitive GIS interface allows you to easily represent flows and water levels and incorporate an extensive range of hydraulic structures for increased accuracy.

With four editions to choose from, all of which are available as a monthly subscription, you can select the most appropriate and cost-effective option for your projects.

In England, flood risk assessments are required for most developments within one of the Environment Agency’s flood zones. This includes developments within:
​
-
Flood zone 2 or 3, including minor development and change of use, or more than 1 hectare in flood zone 1
-
Less than 1 hectare in flood zone 1 where you could be affected by sources of flooding other than rivers and the sea (for example surface water drains)
-
In an area within flood zone 1 which has critical drainage problems as notified by the Environment Agency
​
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency, National Resources Wales, Department for Infrastructure (Rivers) in Northern Ireland and the Office of Public Works in Ireland also provide similar guidance. Additional guidance is also available on how to use modelling for flood risk assessments.
