MANAGING THE RISKS TO UK’S CRITICAL NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE

PLENARY SESSIONLEADERSHIP AND STRATEGY

Flood frequency is increasing and recent events have demonstrated how quickly infrastructure can become exposed. This session provides a view on the resilience of our national infrastructure and whether major flood risk projects should be considered as nationally significant infrastructure projects.

How are flood and coast partners, at every level, showing leadership and working together to reduce flood risk?

IS YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE YOUR MOST IMPORTANT ASSET? WHAT STRATEGIES CAN BE USED TO PROTECT IT AGAINST FLOOD?

SUPPLY CHAIN BRIEFING – PRIVATE SECTOR

Flooding can cause extensive damage to infrastructure assets from rural communities to urban areas. This session looks at asset management strategies from: maintaining and managing river channel capacity; managing transport assets: rail and port; to ensuring aging assets continue to afford the protection we have become accustomed to.

Four major engineering contractors undertaking a range of flood alleviation projects will discuss how they structure complex projects and how they engage with the supply chain and specialist service providers.

LEADERSHIP AND STRATEGYAFTERNOON SESSIONS

“Whether you’re interested in strategy, science, delivery or engagement, Flood & Coast 2017 offers an exciting spread of coastal interest throughout all three days. Local authorities will be especially interested in day two, whilst day three brings in international perspectives. From infrastructure to environment, homes and businesses, the coast brings its own flooding and erosion management challenges and opportunities. Flood & Coast 2017 is a great forum to see how it fits together, and meet the people involved.” Nick Hardiman, Environment Agency

CONFERENCE: DAY 1 / TUESDAY 28 MARCH


Good modelling and forecasting can save money. A key theme for this session is using better modelling to optimise management interventions, whether in defence designs or beach management. In particular, it showcases some recent work to bring more reliable wave modelling into our forecasting, and to ensure our modelling standards are consistent and comparable.

How can we put a value on data? This is one of the questions posed in this session in relation to the increasingly powerful body of national coastal monitoring data available to risk management authorities. Here we explore how to manage, share and use data intelligently – especially at the coast – and demonstrate how Environment Agency erosion maps are also helping with asset data management and shoreline management planning.

Be inspired by some of the best examples of FCRM projects delivered in partnership. Industry experts will share their experiences and discuss how effective partnerships can be built together to deliver great schemes.

Shoreline Management Plans set our strategic goals for coastal risk management, and are maintained as living documents responsive to change and opportunity. This session takes us through a review of one of these plans, and the challenges to delivering its goals. One challenge is environmental risk, and here we explore how to properly account for it – and turn risk into innovation and opportunity for people and wildlife.

The earlier session, Strategic planning at the coast, focuses on environmental risk to strategic coastal management goals. This session focusses on the challenge of adaptation for people and property, asking fundamental questions of what can be done to move people from risk on a changing coastline, with a high profile example from Wales. Where protection is an option, it is increasingly being done in a way that better connects people with their coastal environment – including the UK’s first potential ‘sand engine’.
