Flood Resilience & Recoverability

Stockcode: Resilience, Resilience & Recoverability

BS 85500:2015 (Flood Resistant and Resilient Construction. Guide to improving the flood performance of buildings) is the standard that has been developed to provide guidance to architects, engineers and developers on suitable materials and construction techniques for improving the resistance and resilience of buildings against flooding. It has been developed by flood risk and watercourses experts, including representatives from the Association of London Borough Planning Officers, Defra and the BRE.

BS 85500:2015 Choice of Strategy
BS 85500:2015 offers a choice of strategies when designing a flood recoverable solution:
• Avoidance
• Mitigation
• Water Exclusion (flood resistance)
• Water Entry (flood resilience)

Design Options

The simplest water exclusion measure is to build the ground floor above the maximum level that any flood water is likely to reach. However, this is often impractical to structures already built and planners may not approve of a new build being disproportionately higher than neighbouring properties.

Where the potential flood level is below 600mm, there are a number of relatively simple ways of sealing off the inside and keeping a structure more or less dry. A common option is to use tanking; a continuous waterproof layer buried within the wall and floor construction that prevents floodwater from seeping into rooms.

Delta’s Technical Team’s meticulous approach to flood recoverability incorporating structural waterproofing solutions, has seen projects meet insurance industry standards (meaning home and business owners) will be able to insure previously uninsurable properties.
