Applying CIRIA C790 in Real-World Flood Resilience Projects I Floodex 2025 Keynote Talk

Описание: What does good flood resilience actually look like?

In this Floodex keynote talk, Simon Crowther FCIWEM C.WEM breaks down how the updated industry landscape, including the new SuDS Standards, the launch of IPFRA, and the FloodReady Action Plan is shaping the future of Property Flood Resilience (PFR).

At the heart of it all sits the CIRIA C790 Code of Practice.
It’s voluntary, but it’s become the benchmark for how PFR should be delivered.

In this video, Simon explains the six stages of C790, why each stage matters, and why skipping steps inevitably leads to poor outcomes, wasted investment, or even increased flood damage.

What you’ll learn:

✔ The key changes in 2025 influencing flood resilience
✔ What the CIRIA C790 Code of Practice is and why it matters
✔ The six essential stages of delivering PFR properly
✔ Why risk assessments and surveys are the foundation of success
✔ What Stage 3 really involves from drainage surveys to permits
✔ How construction, commissioning and handover should be managed
✔ Why maintenance is vital for long-term resilience
✔ How to choose realistic, effective, and buildable options for homes & businesses

Simon also shares real-world insights from projects across the UK, explaining the importance of multidisciplinary design, structural considerations, drainage compatibility, product specification, and resilient repair.
