The River Lugg Internal Drainage Board has gone out to tender with a contract for the provision of Hydraulic Modelling Services with an estimated value of £400,000.
Internal Drainage Boards (IDBs) cover approximately 1.2 million hectares of England most of which falls within flood zone 3.
IDBs are geographically concentrated in the low lying river basins of England such as the Broads, the Fens in East Anglia and Lincolnshire, Somerset Levels, Kent, Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire. The IDB districts in Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire have been further lowered as a result of past mining activities.
The River Lugg IDB belongs to the Shire Group of IDBs.
The River Lugg IDB intends to commission a hydraulic model of its open channel watercourse network in order to achieve the following:
Gain a more comprehensive understanding of fluvial flood risk from the IDB network;
Provide an evidence-based decision-making tool to be used to support future capital works funding applications for structures and for undertaking works on the system and/or maintaining the systems.
Anticipated contract duration is months.
