A notable increase in the frequency and intensity of rainfall events has been observed in recent years with the onset of climate change. New developments need to accommodate greater stormwater flows and greater emphasis needs to be put on climate resiliency in design.

The team at Irvine Engineering is proficient in the use of software for modelling anticipated storm flows. Our team has routinely used climatic data and future projections for climate change as an input parameter in storm simulations to ensure climate resiliency. In cases where “net-zero” runoff from the pre to post development condition is a requirement, we are experienced in the design of storm detention structures.
