Preventing and managing overflow
Urban development, habitat densification, soil sealing and climate change are increasing problems of overflow in urban sewer networks, whether separate or combined. Such overflows, which occur separately from river flooding, can affect property and people, as well as the receiving environments and their uses.
This situation demands that local authorities review the size of their infrastructure,
re-think stormwater management policies and optimise maintenance operations on urban sewer networks.
The integration of multiple expertise such as infrastructure and network engineering, urban and landscape design (with SCE’s in-company urban design agency Ateliers UP+), and environmental management, is a real asset when working with our clients on these different issues.
This crosscutting approach, combined with participative collaboration with all stakeholders, makes us your ideal partner for many different kinds of assignments:
- Operational audit of urban networks
- Hydrological simulations and hydraulic modelling
- Definition of network developments and related works
- Alternative stormwater management and solutions to make urban areas more permeable
- Multi-criteria analysis of projected solutions and scenarios
- Optimisation of works maintenance from asset management standpoint
- Regulatory dossier (stormwater drainage zoning, authorisation files, etc.)
- Capacity building for urban stormwater management
- Design and works supervision
