The Hydrology team at Arcus specialises in Flood Risk Assessment, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and drainage services. Our team are members of CIWEM and give cost-effective, clear and accurate advice on complex projects.
We use industry standard software such as Micro Drainage and Flood Modeller to ensure our reports are accurate and comply with guidance such as the SuDS Manual (CIRIA C753).
We have extensive experience of working in upland peat and lowland free-draining environments, including sites with sensitive receptors. We are able to provide informed hydrology-related advice and guidance based on our field experience and previous consultations with government bodies such as the Environment Agency, Scottish Environment Protection Agency and Natural Resources Wales (Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru).
Our Hydrology team provides a range of hydrological services, including:
- Flood Risk Assessments (England, Scotland and Ireland)
- Flood Consequence Assessments (Wales)
- Infiltration Testing (to BRE 365 and Building Regulations standard)

We work with a range of organisations to meet their Flood Risk and Hydrology requirements. These include local councils, architects, construction firms, water treatment works, individual homeowners, private developers and multi-national corporations.
