WATERSIDE DEVELOPMENTS
Black & Veatch is increasingly involved in waterside infrastructure,
offering advice, planning and design. Starting with flood risk
assessments in line with Planning Policy Guidance (PPG25),
we complete surveys and investigations into the appropriateness
and siting of infrastructure, as well as actual engineering
and landscape design.
In addition, we supervise construction and development of water
frontage. From pre-acquisition due diligence to detailed condition
surveys and assessments of river walls, we offer advice and
guidance to a range of developers, government agencies, councils
and harbour authorities.
Specific projects in recent years include work on over 30
urban regeneration sites along the Thames Estuary and Thames
Gateway. These include strategic advice on the economic viability
of water use and the possibility of expanding water-based transport,
contaminated land advice, and drainage area and architectural
masterplanning.
