Protecting a flood-prone area
Regrading of the channel, bank protection, a protection embankment and resized crossing structures — work that is prepared outside the flood season and delivered within a tight window.
Activities
Hydraulic works and dams
Retaining, conveying and controlling water: dams, weirs, canals and protection works, from small rural schemes to major infrastructure.
