MARY, QUEEN OF FLOODS

Mary has championed promotion of individual flood protection since 2000, when her Worcestershire home was flooded internally with raw sewage. She is a passionate advocate of empowering communities to recognise and take responsibility for minimising their collective flood risk. Regular appearances on national radio and television have given her the moniker of ‘Mary, Queen of Floods’, and she is now known as the voice of the flood victim, a status which in turn led to her being awarded an OBE for services to the environment in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in 2009. Mary was given an Hon RICS in January 2015 and an Hon DSc in July 2015. Mary also chairs the Flood Protection Group for the Property Care Association, serves as the Chief Executive of ‘Know Your Flood Risk’ and she’s a member of the Regional Flood and Coastal Committee for Anglian Northern. She also runs MD Associates, specialising in raising awareness of flood risk, how to militate against it and recover from it.

Mary Dhonau stands as one of the most inspirational figures in the UK’s defence against flooding. A victim of the devastating effects of flooding, she works tirelessly to help and advise other victims with their recovery.

THIS IS AN UNMISSABLE SPEAKER LINE-UP!

MARY DHONAU OBE

THE FRONTLINE IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST FLOODS

Case Studies of Flood Resistance Working in Anger and Examples of Resilient Repair ‘Property Flood Resilience’ is the new ‘buzz phrase’ but what is this? How do we go about making ourselves and our homes resilient to flooding? Mary gives examples of what can be done to try to keep the water out. She will also give some studies of people who have made small adaptions to their homes, so that if they do flood again, the damage and disruption from many months of living away from their homes can be significantly reduced.

SEMINAR SNAPSHOT This seminar will look at smart dredging solutions. Measures need to be taken to protect the environment; the market needs innovative solutions based on the recycling of raw materials. For example, how do you turn contaminated sludge into constructive hydraulic engineering? This will be a practical examination of the problems combined with a scientific justification. Ultimately, the project is only successful when the added value and sustainable development is clear.


11:45 - 12:15

SEMINAR SNAPSHOT Floodprotect is a combination of flood protection and clean energy production. Without any external energy such as electric, hydraulic or pneumatic-power, the flood protection wall is coming out of the ground driven by the increasing water level. Normally the wall is invisible, hidden in the ground, but it is always there - just coming up in case of emergency and if needed due to the increasing water level.

OLBA are the Swedish manufacturers of premium quality sewer cleaning machines that are sold in the UK & Ireland via ROADVACS LTD.

CPJ Limited will be showing two new ROLBA Medium Volume Combination machines. These unique machines are built to the highest quality standards using only stainless steel (304 or 316) in the tank construction.

The new ROLBA Medium VolumeCombination machine will bedemonstrated live and will highlightwhy it’s the best machine on the market.

The machine is the most flexible unit yet, offering the widest scale of options that make it perfect for deep suction sewers, heavy silt,clay slurry, septic tank emptying,sludge/effluent removal, interceptorcleaning, and much more. Including a 30 gallon per min jetter; nothing’s too big for this machine. CPJ gets the job done, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

ROLBA SWEDISH SUCTION & JETTING TECHNOLOGY

The ROLBA unit only supplies air-mover type vacuum pumps. This gives the customer the added benefit of sucking material from greater depths. The technology also allows the ROLBA user to operate the machine in very cold winter conditions, whereas liquid ring vacuum pumps tend to have problems. The Medium Volume Combi has a fully opening rear door and a hydraulic tipping sludge tank. The tipping angle is up to 55 degrees. Therefore, with the combination of the stainless steel tank and the very steep tipping angle, no material is left in the debris tank. At the rear of the unit, ROLBA have mounted a fully flexible “manipulator arm” which makes life easier for the operator. This is controlled and operated from the radio remote control unit which is a standard piece of equipment with every ROLBA. On top of the tank, there is a cassette system which incorporates a 5” diameter hose x 17 meters which supplies the hose to the manipulator arm. The main control panel is made of stainless steel and is located at the left rear side of the machine with safety of the operator in mind. This control panel is also housed inside another stainless steel box. All the boxes and hose trays are made from highly polished stainless steel.

COLD FLOOD PREVENTIONcost effective, mobile flood preventing barrier, easy to set up and remove, reusable, environmentally friendly.

The Cold Flood Prevention flood barrier is a mobile solution to control flood rising up to 1.5 meters. Combining Scandinavian innovative thinking with German material, Cold Flood Prevention has been able to make a cost effective system, easy to set up even in difficult environments and with minimal education and training.

It’s easy to store and the low weight makes it easy and environmentally friendly to handle.

Visit Cold Flood prevention’s live demonstration outside at Flood Expo 2015 and see their cost effective barrier for yourself. They’ll demonstrate how they’re using water to fight water with our reusable and easy to set up patented innovation, that offers an effective solution to the next flooding.

They’ll show you how two people can easily set up the system using no other tools than a pump and traditional fire hoses. Add to this the barriers ability to follow the surface and tightly seal against all materials and you’ll witness the best water barrier available.

THE FLOOD PREVENTION BARRIER

12.00 & 14.00 DOCKSIDE

A The basic idea is that the product should: be easy to set-up and thus ensure that set up can take place without prior training, be quick to set-up and be fully operational within a maximum of two hours, be able to be re-used, as opposed to sandbags for example, be produced in accordance with the customer’s wishes in shape and length, be “lightweight” and thereby be able to be handled by a minimum number of persons and without help from machines. At Flood Expo 2015, Cold Flood Prevention will demonstrate one of the five different sizes of their mobile barrier. They will demonstrate how easy and fast the system is assembled and ready to resist the incoming masses of water. You will be able to see the easy patented assembly system and the easy filling of the barrier.

SUPERBETSY RAISES THE BAR IN MOBILE PUMPING

ith over 20 design refinements and additions, our 3rd generation machines raise the bar again.

The Environment Agency have been a framework partner for mobile pumps with Hidrostal since 2012, now owning and operating a large fleet of 4” to 20” Hidrostal sets.

The great floods of 2014 delivered lessons to us all. Here in Hidrostal, as a direct response to some of the challenges encountered, we embarked on designing a 3rd generation of our mobile diesel pumping equipment called the SuperBetsy.

SuperBetsy combines the benefits of 1st generation Betsy and 2nd generation Superhawk machines but with over 20 additional design refinements. One of the biggest challenges we encountered during and after the floods was the location of exact models to ensure service efficiency. During a crisis, equipment is moved from pillar to post and administration struggles to keep pace with activities on the ground.

Tracking models is also essential for swift redeployment of correct sized machines as circumstances change, ensuring proportional pumping capacity is applied to each incident so getting the best use of resources. For these reasons, a more advanced control system has been introduced which incorporated GPS tracking and full remote monitoring.

Fuel endurance is always vital; our low fuel consumption means less refuel visits, freeing up more time to exhausted staff during any emergency operation. In addition, new remote monitoring allows the possibility for more planned refuelling. Needless to say that the fundamental reliability of the diesel pumpset is paramount. That’s why Hidrostal have refined over 20 aspects of the build specification found in previous generations, to deliver even more reliability and efficient performance today.

he application of technology to create cutting edge products for the improvement of flood defence.

New technologies have improved the precision to which modern hydrographic and aerial surveys can be conducted; these advances are allowing the Environment Agency and other key organisations to make informed decisions concerning the protection of our coastal and inland waters.

Combining hydrographic and aerial technology is cutting edge and enables the seamless transition between what sits above and below the water. The demonstration will show both disciplines working in complete harmony. The RIB will be used to demonstrate the latest sonar technology, and the unmanned air system (drone) will be launched from the RIB to capture above water imagery. In order to maintain our diverse environment for future generations we need

geocurve ltdWith its shallow draft and high buoyancy, the Humber RIB allows us to enter shallow water accessing harder to reach places that conventional survey boats couldn’t.

Using this as our main platform, we also use the SonarMite BTX echo sounder to collect the data; this equipment was specifically designed for shallow water surveying. By sending out a pulse every second it takes a depth reading, this is then GPS referenced and stored using the Leica Viva handset and GPS receiver.

Our aim is to record a depth every 5 meters so by the end we make a 5x5m grid across the river bed.

COMBINING AERIAL, LAND AND HYDRO SURVEY DATA

to continue to push the boundaries. These two technologies working together have multiple application from emergency flood deployment to long term data collection, enabling better flood and coastal erosion risk management.

As a result of flooding, recent commercial developments have triggered a plethora of data. This flood risk data needs to be simplified.

The flood risk data market is now saturated with a complex web of providers, risk types, terrain models, flood depth variables, direction and velocity variables. This situation lends itself to different risks being reported by commercial providers for the same individual property.

Therefore the ability for end users to interpret the data, understand its limitations and nuances and how to apply this in the real world is becoming increasingly important. Many commercial providers now package up various flood risk data

Landmark provides unique flood, environmental and property due-diligence services for portfolios. We have access to the most comprehensive and complete flood, environmental and property data in the UK, and our experienced consultants use this to deliver a range of risk assessment services. Our flexible service allows us to take a portfolio through stages of risk identification, analysis and resolution, covering environmental issues such as contaminated land risk, flood risk, ground stability and energy and infrastructure.

sources and present a risk summary at property specific levels in less than 24 hours. What is clearly missing in this refined market is plain English guidance on how these reports are compiled, their limitations and a clear understanding of the data powering them.

This masterclass will simplify the complex web of providers, risk types, and reporting variables in the flood risk data market. It will be anchored by a timeline introducing key changes through the recent history and development of flood risk.
