Flooding is a significant risk for construction projects, especially in Alberta and BC. Effective flood mitigation can prevent delays and reduce damage. Here’s how to address flood risks:
Structural Flood Mitigation
Infrastructure: Build or upgrade dams, levees, bridges, and culverts to manage water flow and protect the site.
Maintenance: Regularly maintain creeks and stormwater systems to ensure they work effectively.
Flood Proofing: Use barriers like solid fences and backflow valves to prevent water from entering structures.
Road Access: Enhance the resilience of roads to ensure safe evacuation and emergency access during floods.
Non-Structural Flood Mitigation
Surveys: Conduct detailed surveys to improve flood risk assessments.
Land Use Planning: Avoid construction in flood-prone areas with strategic planning.
Building Codes: Elevate new constructions above known flood levels for protection.
Flood Modelling: Keep flood models updated and manage stormwater to reduce downstream flooding.
Early Warnings: Implement early warning systems to alert of impending floods.
