Water Defense and Flood Control

Worldwide, delta regions are under pressure due to climate change and urbanization. These regions have difficult and complex geotechnical and geohydrological conditions. Fugro has state-of-the-art investigation techniques, such as FLI-MAP, to map those conditions accurately. Our consultants are specialized in risk assessment and stability of hydraulic structures, particularly dikes. They perform flood risk maps for entire river and flood plain systems.

With innovative remote sensing technologies, including InSAR and Lidar, we can map geometry and monitor dike movements and subsidence.

Global weather forecasting services and oceanographic measurement systems provide real-time monitoring data for early flood warning. Data collected from such systems may be used as input parameters to a suite of hydrodynamic and atmospheric models for the simulation and prediction of flows, waves, sediments and ecology in rivers, lakes, estuaries, bays, coastal areas and seas.

We offer unique combinations of high tech data acquisition technologies and consultancy services with respect to:

Dike safety analysis Flood risk mapping Real-time monitoring Remote sensing analysis Levee evaluations Soil investigation	Weather forecasting Early warning systems Lidar mapping Hydrodynamic modeling Bathymetric surveys Geophysical surveys
