Our hydrology experts specialise in natural flood management and flood risk assessment and mitigation, including sustainable drainage systems.

At R G Parkins, we embrace the principles of sustainable development and work pro-actively to reduce the probability and impact of flooding across all our disciplines, while enhancing the natural landscape and increasing biodiversity.
We offer a wide range of services to understand and mitigate the risk of flooding on any development site, from a small domestic extension to a large new housing development. We develop robust drainage solutions having carefully assessed the wider hydrology issues and implications.
We can guide your scheme through the planning process, ensuring that our designs align with national and local planning policies and design codes and building regulations.
