Flood improvement works
Storm attenuation, property-level protection and drainage improvements for councils, developers and homeowners, in a part of the country that knows about flooding.
Hull and the East Riding sit low, and the floods of June 2007 are still remembered on plenty of streets here. Nobody can stop the rain, but the right works cut the risk: storing storm water, getting it away faster and protecting the homes that flood first.
What we build
- Geocellular storm attenuation tanks for new developments
- Property-level flood protection, including pump chambers
- Highway and land drainage improvements
- Kerb, channel and gully work that keeps water off the road
Bilton property-level flood protection
Our first contract under the YORcivil framework was the Bilton Property Level Flood Protection Works: small pump chambers built within the boundaries of private homes. Working on people's own property needs care, tidy sites and good communication, which is exactly how we like to work.
Working with partners
Flood schemes rarely belong to one organisation. We work alongside councils, designers and the residents living with the risk, so the work is planned around them.

Common questions
Do you install attenuation tanks on new developments?
Yes. We've installed geocellular storm attenuation tanks beneath new industrial yards, wrapped in membrane and geotextile to the designer's specification.
Can you work on private homes?
Yes. Property-level protection, like the pump chambers we built at Bilton, means working on people's own land. We keep sites tidy and residents informed throughout.
Planning a flood or drainage scheme?
Send drawings, a site address or just a rough idea. A director will come back to you, usually the same day.
