Commercial and Residential

Raincloud delivers a full suite of integrated flood risk, drainage, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), and water quality monitoring services for infrastructure clients across public and private sectors. Our team can deliver practical, sustainable solutions at every stage, from feasibility and planning to construction support and post‑delivery monitoring.

Our Services include:

Flood Risk Management

We provide strategic advice and detailed Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs), hydraulic modelling (1D and 2D), climate change adaptation strategies, and emergency planning. Our modelling capabilities inform risk mapping, flood storage options, and resilience measures such as flood warning and evacuation plans. Working collaboratively with regulators and lead local flood authorities, we ensure that developments meet national policies and do not exacerbate downstream flood risk.

Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)

Effective drainage design is essential to infrastructure resilience. We deliver surface and foul water drainage strategies, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) design, network modelling, and long-term drainage maintenance strategies—including strategies for combined sewer overflow (CSO) control. Our SuDS-led solutions provide multi-functional benefits, improving water quality, biodiversity, amenity value, and climate resilience in urban and rural settings.

Water Quality Monitoring

Our water specialists offer comprehensive support across water quality assessment, river and catchment health monitoring, diffuse pollutant modelling, and compliance with Water Framework Directive standards. We help clients manage surface and groundwater resources sustainably—through baseline surveys, continuous monitoring, and water chemistry analysis—as part of both planning support and post-construction auditing.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) & Regulatory Consents

We produce robust EIA chapters covering hydrology, hydrogeology, water resources, and flood risk, fully integrated into environmental statements. Our technical advice addresses consenting requirements, abstraction licensing, permitting regimes, and stakeholder engagement, helping projects secure planning consent efficiently while meeting ESG and environmental protection standards.
