Meet AECOM at Flood & Coast 2017
The increasingly unpredictable nature of flooding means there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. To manage flood risk into the future requires us to rethink what is possible.
Come and meet AECOM at Flood & Coast 2017 from 28 – 30 March 2017 at the Telford International Centre, stand A25, or listen to our speakers. Contact us to schedule a meeting with the team or to find out more.

The £18 million Hinksey flood alleviation scheme is helping protect a busy section of mainline railway between London and the Midlands from flooding, increasing resilience of the UK rail network.
Port of Immingham sea defence improvements
Safeguarding a major sea port from the threat of tidal surge, we produced and delivered an Outline Business Case (OBC) and flood risk appraisal for the Port of Immingham sea defence improvement scheme. Securing £4.5 million of Grant in Aid funding in a short six month timeframe, we have ensured the critical works can commence quickly.
