KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Over the next few pages, you will find details of our keynote speakers. Every one of them has proven themselves as innovators or experts, many of them are acknowledged as leaders in their sector – and some of them are award-winning trailblazers.

We’ve assembled an unprecedented array of expert speakers covering every aspect of flood defence and protection.

ROBERT BARKER DIRECTOR, BACA ARCHITECTS

If you’re responsible for water management, flood defence, prevention or recovery, these speakers are the people you should listen to. And if you don’t see the topic you’re looking for here, don’t forget to check the full seminar schedule later in this show guide.

MARY DHONAU OBE MARY, QUEEN OF FLOODS

RIBA’s spokesperson for floods Robert Barker speaks out about the growing influence of water in shaping our communities. Robert Barker, co-founder of Baca and a chartered architect, has been closely involved with a number of flood-resilient design initiatives, including contributing to the Global Flood Risk Handbook for the World Bank, with various technical chapters and illustrations. Robert has prepared Baca’s contribution of a new chapter on flood-aware design for the next edition of the architect’s reference book,

FRIDAY HALL 4 | 11:00 - 11:30

Water Will Shape Our Communities During The 21st Century As the motorcar transformed town planning and solar orientation emerged as a design driver during the 20th Century, it is water that will shape our communities during the 21st Century. Robert will discuss the shape of future cities and planning, drawing on his experience and research to discuss how we can innovatively adapt to climate change and work with water and its natural processes, rather than simply trying to defend against it.

The Metric Handbook, to be published by Routledge in early 2015. Robert’s specialist knowledge in flood-resilient housing design and master planning led him to become the RIBA’s spokesperson on floods during the recent spate of flooding across the UK and he was called into 10 Downing Street to meet with a panel of experts prior to their pre-Cobra meeting. He will impart some of the knowledge gained over his 15-year architecture career in this special seminar.

Mary Dhonau is all too aware of the risks involved with flooding – she herself has been flooded on several occasions. But she has used this experience to support and advise other victims during their recovery. Mary Dhonau has championed promotion of individual flood protection since 2000, when her Worcestershire home was flooded internally with raw sewage. She is a passionate advocate of empowering communities to recognise and take responsibility for minimising their collective flood risk. Regular appearances on national radio and television have given her the moniker of ‘Mary, Queen of Floods’ and she is now known as the voice of the flood victim, a status which in turn led to her being awarded an OBE

for services to the environment in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in 2009. Mary also chairs the Flood Protection Group for the Property Care Association, serves as the Chief Executive of ‘Know Your Flood Risk’ and she’s a member of the Regional Flood and Coastal committee for Anglian Northern. She also runs MD Associates consultancy, specialising in raising awareness of flood risk, how to militate against it and recover from it.

THURSDAY | HALL 3 | 14:00 - 14:30

What’s It Like To Flood? How Do You Prepare? In her emotive and informative seminar, Mary will detail the appalling experiences that flood victims have to go through, before going on to give practical examples of how to plan, prepare, mitigate and become resilient to being flooded. This is a fascinating chance for flood management professionals to hear the personal impact that is easily lost amid the wider drama when floods strike.

JOHN OSMAN SOMERSET COUNTY COUNCIL LEADER

Earlier this year, Somerset was devastated by a series of floods that drew visits from the Prime Minister, the Prince of Wales and the army. Hear the recovery story first-hand from the man leading the programme.

KYLIE RUSSELL

BUSINESS RESILIENCE LEAD, CLIMATE READY

John Osman, who has been leader of Somerset County Council since 2012, was the man tasked with leading the recovery effort from the floods which caused tens of millions of pounds worth of damage, left 4,000 homes without power and a transport system in total chaos. It’s a task close to his heart, as John is a lifelong resident of Somerset and current resident of England’s smallest city, Wells. Now, almost a year on, he delivers a seminar on the effects of the floods and the ongoing recovery efforts in the South West. As well as being Council leader, John is a Mendip District Councillor, a Wells City Councillor and Chairman of the Somerset Flood Action Group. John’s separate legal career means he is also a litigation solicitor, as well as a partner in a regional law firm.

FRIDAY | HALL 1 | 11:00 - 11:30

The Somerset Flooding Crisis Join the man leading Somerset’s recovery from 2014’s severe flooding, Somerset County Council Leader John Osman, as he shares his experiences of the crisis that caught national and international interest earlier this year. In his insightful seminar, John will share with you the challenges they encountered and the solutions they implemented on the road to recovery.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

HANS DEKKER FRIDAY | HALL 5 | 12:30 - 13:00

Great Britain, Great Holland, Great Europe - Learning From Each Other The recent floods in Great Britain are obviously not standalone situations, with various countries in Europe and around the world suffering from similar catastrophes. Notably, Holland - the lowest country in Europe – has avoided these problems in recent years. Hans’ notable seminar asks why this should be the case and suggests that the UK could learn from Holland’s long experience of flood management and the strategies this lowland nation has adopted.

With almost 30 years of international experience as a landscape architect behind him, Hans Dekker is no stranger to the dangers of flooding. Hear how European countries can learn from each other in the battle against these risks.

Hans Dekker is the owner of DN Urbland/HD Landschapsarchitecten, office for landscape planning and landscape design. He graduated as a landscape architect from the Agricultural University Wageningen, Netherlands and has 28 years of experience as a landscape architect. Hans worked on several projects for the Dutch national policy, Space for the River for water safety and spatial development. Through this experience, he’s well informed on planning and design issues on water safety and ecology in the Netherlands. Hans is currently working on sustainable development for new urban expansion in the North West of China (Haidong City). The aim of this regional project is to create a balance between the urban and the ecological system, where Hans is responsible for the development of the river and water system (safety, ecology and water harvesting).

PLANNING WORKSHOP

The LifE Project (Long-term Initiatives for Flood-risk Environments) presents a shift in thinking by permitting water into sites in a controlled manner, thus making space for water. The LifE Project supports planning policy set out in NPPF, proposing an integrated approach to masterplanning, while simultaneously delivering zero carbon development. Five years since the original research, the core ideas have now percolated into international award-winning city plans, built forms and is informing flood policy at home and abroad. The LifE approach is cited by the World Bank as best practice and winner of the RIBA Practice Based Research Award 2010, Bronze Medal Winner at the International Landscape Awards (Germany) and Green Dot Award (USA). The Blue Infrastructure Toolkit, Winner of an EU Regio Star, forms part of the London Borough of Sutton’s Climate Adaptation toolkit. In this workshop, led by Baca Architects - the pioneers of the

FLOOD DEFENCE AND PREVENTION EXPO DECEMBER 2014

LifE Project - participants will put the LifE approach to test. As with real life, the challenge is to create a masterplan that fits all the playing pieces on the plan whilst maintaining a sense of community and ensuring it is safe. No prior experience or specific expertise is necessary and teams will include a broad range of people such as planners, highways and

environment officers, consultants, developers and local interest groups. At the end of the workshop, teams will be invited to present their plan, then compare and contrast against other teams, followed by a small open debate to discuss the challenges presented by the Planning Scenario and how these tools are transferrable to other sites in the UK.

Richard Coutts Director Baca Architects Solve Several Problems With One Solution As we adapt to our changing climate and increasing demands on energy resources, so must our approaches to planning and design alter accordingly. The ability to find zero-carbon solutions to create integrated homes that reduce and ultimately eliminate the need for external power supplies will be increasingly important. These measures will also aim to solve several problems with one solution. Richard will also be discussing how to engage with communities and effectively involve them in the design process.

Ian Heijne Atkins Limited Protecting West Sands Holiday Village, Selsey Through Private Investment This is the story of the journey to implement a £15m privately funded coastal protection scheme. In 2008, a major storm wreaked havoc, causing widespread flooding and damage to over 50 caravans, jeopardising West Sands’ future. Hear how Bunn Leisure obtained approvals and constructed the West Sands Coast Protection Scheme near Selsey, West Sussex.

The seminar will demonstrate how silt curtains are designed to effectively contain and control the dispersion of suspended solids in the water column during piling, dredging, bank re-profiling, quarrying or marine construction etc. That by confining turbidity, silt curtains improve localised settling times of suspended solids in a defined area and are thus proven to significantly & effectively reduce stress on aquatic environments. Their application extends far beyond controlling silts as will be demonstrated.

Property level Flood Protection (PLP) has now become an accepted, low cost, form of defence against flood risk, which we have experienced across the UK, particularly since 2007. Whitehouse are pioneers within the industry developing robust surveys and solutions bringing increased variety to the marketplace. The aim is to bring down solution costs to £5000 per property, in comparison to capital projects which can often reach several hundred thousand pounds.

As the demand for ‘new’ housing in the UK grows & the risk of flood continues to dominate our weather picture, surely the time is right for the building sector to now give flood defence the same status it affords fire and environmental sustainability? Sarah Marriott shares her thoughts on why the adoption of flood defence measures at the design & build stage when it is both more practical & cost effective makes sense.

Flooding is an issue of increasing concern, nationally and globally. As sea levels and the global population rise in tandem, the need to utilise all available land, including land at high-risk of flooding, as well as protecting existing properties from flood damage, through research and the development of measures to mitigate the effects of flooding is of increasing importance. Including the newly completed Amphibious House.

From the pictures published by the national and international media, the floods in the city of Venice often look fun and picturesque, but they do not reveal the real consequences: they impact the local economy and are dramatic on the long term. In order to offer a solution to this problem, and in the context of a very delicate environment, a special and innovative type of barrier has been combined with other diffuse interventions on regional scale.

Bathymetric LiDAR is a remarkably powerful tool capable of collecting depths, elevations and imagery simultaneously;reducing flying time and collecting potentially more data without tidal restrictions. Using the latest processing techniques the data can be used to develop seamless datasets at high resolution. The Seminar will briefly look at systems and capabilities of the systems on the market.

Established in 1988 with just five founder members, CIC now occupies a key role within the UK construction industry providing a single voice for professionals in all sectors of the built environmentthrough its collective membership of 500,000 individual professionals and more than 25,000 firms of construction consultants.

Our mission is to inform and connect sustainable businesses in order to facilitate innovation and promote sustainable business opportunities. We achieve this by connecting investors, innovators, business leaders, deal-makers and industry influencers via essential news, editorials and advertorials.

The breadth and depth of its membership means that CIC is the only single body able to speak with authority on the diverse issues connected with construction without being constrained by the self-interest of any particular sector of the industry.

We also hope you take advantage of our back page editorials aimed at local tourism. Tourism is a major foreign revenue partner, whilst creating job opportunities and can be a means of regional and local regeneration. Also supporting an interest in environmental resources, which could influence and promote the location of renewable energy developments.

HYDROGUARD: THE ULTIMATE FLOOD DEFENCE BARRIER FOR PROPERTIES HydroGuard’s ‘one-size-fits-all’ technology makes it the perfect replacement for sandbags and a great solution for the use of homeowners and emergency services alike Flooding is becoming more frequent. Although sandbags are an inadequate defence, they have been difficult to replace due to different types and sizes of doors. HydroGuard is the first fully flexible flood barrier fitting all doors with its patented sliding technology and clever sealing system. This solution allows for rapid deployment of under a minute per door. Our Chairman, Hannes Floto, experienced two floods in the UK. himself before coming up with the innovative barrier that would protect his home and valuables. After experiencing property damage and losing many valuables, he began working on HydroGuard — the product that would prevent those situations from occurring again. HydroGuard has been made with durable, premium materials and robust design to ensure a secure seal against fast-flowing water and debris that water may carry. It expands to fit to any standard-size door with its

intelligent sliding system and clips into the doorframe. Unlike many other products, HydroGuard doesn’t require you to make permanent alterations or pre-installations to a property. HydroGuard simply attaches to the door frame and folds for easy storage when not being used. HydroGuard has already been featured in Haggerston Times, Daily Mail, ITV News and The Gadget Show Live and has been appealing to towns and home associations as well. It’s no wonder HydroGuard has been gaining popularity — flooding is no matter to be taken lightly. Take steps to prepare for potential flooding by investing in HydroGuard flood barriers. With HydroGuard you are ready whenever a flood is threatening.

Wrekin Products geotextile products have played an integral role in rebuilding damage caused to sea defences during last winter’s extreme storms. An example is at Mostyn in Flintshire, where storms breached approximately 200m of the sea wall in six separate locations, closing the Chester to Rhyl railway line along the sea front. Working around the clock, Network Rail engineers faced the huge task of removing around 1,000 tonnes of fallen sea wall from the railway and completing emergency repairs to the wall and track before the next high tide. Wrekin Products’ technical team worked with the engineers and Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Ltd to devise a highly effective solution using sand bags wrapped in polythene, Wrekin Multitrack

DEVELOP TRAINING LAUNCHES NEW FLOOD DEFENCE AND INCIDENTS TRAINING SOLUTION In response to the recent floods and client demand, Develop Training has launched a dedicated Flood Defence and Incidents Training solution to help businesses prepare for flooding in their area and manage the associated risks.

Flooding is becoming an increasing problem all year round, with many severe flood warnings issued in the UK at the start of 2014 alone. During Christmas and early January 2014, 16 severe flood warnings were issued (meaning there is a risk to life) and £600 million pounds worth of damage was made. The Environmental Agency has also confirmed it will cut 1500 jobs in flood defence across England. The pressure on local councils and emergency response services will therefore increase. Develop Training’s new Flood Defence and Incidents Training Solution is designed to help reduce the pressure on local councils and related services, by giving their employees the understanding and skills to react effectively to a

flooding incident. This new City and Guilds accredited solution covers: • Surface Water Flooding Incidents: Communicating With Customers. • Surface Water Flooding Incidents: Awareness. • Surface Water Flooding Incidents: For Operatives. • Surface Water Flooding Incidents: For Supervisors. • Surface Water Flooding Incidents: For Managers. Tailored solutions can be created from the mix of courses outlined above and are available for delivery at Develop Training centres or on site at your premises. For more information on Flood Defence and Incidents Training, please call 0800 876 6708.

RELIABLE & EFFECTIVE FLOOD PROTECTION WITH SANDBAGS The Met Office has released figures that highlight the severity of rainfall in the past year, when winter rainfall has surpassed record levels since 1910. The persistent flooding has seen the Environment Agency support local authorities and communities with advice on how to protect against flooding, with sandbags being top of their list.

Throughout history, sandbags have been the first line of defence against flood water. Many alternatives have appeared on the market, but sandbags still remain the top choice for governments, homeowners and businesses. Not only do sandbags act as a barrier to water, but they also filter out any sediment that may have contaminated the water. Sandbags are the cheapest option; they are easy to obtain with fast delivery and can be bought pre-filled.

Weir & Carmichael have been a main supplier of sandbags since 1955 and are the sole contracted suppliers to the MOD and contracted suppliers to the Environment Agency. Available from stock are a range of sandbags which includes standard woven polypropylene and hessian sandbags, or a rot proof alternative, which is larger and will last for longer in harsh weather conditions. The hessian rot proof sandbag is the sandbag

of choice for key distributors of sandbags including the MOD and the Environment Agency. Weir & Carmichael are able to deliver empty sandbags within 24 hours which can then be filled with sand on site. This is unbeatable for speed and value in response to emergency flood situations. However, for extra convenience, sandbags can be supplied filled, also within 24 hours and sent direct requiring fewer resources to fill and distribute sandbags and

allowing them to be put into place immediately. Both empty and filled sandbags are available for bulk orders or smaller quantities available to buy online.

TECHNITHERM® FLOOD RESILIENT PROTECTION CAVITY WALL INSULATION

Flooding is the most common and widespread natural disaster in the UK. Isothane’s Technitherm® cavity wall insulation reduces the risk of flood water penetration through cavity walls. Local Authorities in flood risk areas are now replacing inappropriate conventional cavity wall insulation within walls with rigid polyurethane closed cell insulation. Flood waters can penetrate unprotected cavity walls and cause major damage to the outer walls, saturation of inappropriate cavity wall insulation materials, corrosion of cavity wall ties, disintegration of plaster finishes, and destruction of electrical appliances, furnishings and decorations. The cost of removal of saturated inappropriate conventional insulation materials can be exorbitant and highly disruptive.

The Association of British Insurers (ABI), DEFRA, DCLG and the Environment Agency all advise that cavity insulation should preferably incorporate rigid closed cell materials as these retain integrity and have low moisture take-up. Technitherm® unique flood resilient closed cell polyurethane cavity wall insulation (CWI) protection reduces the risk of flood water ingress through cavity walls. Unlike conventional cavity wall insulation materials, which can absorb or retain water and lose their insulating properties or disintegrate over time, Technitherm® remains serviceable after flood water recedes and

can reduce the misery, upheaval, disturbance, and financial hardship associated with prolonged drying and removal of inappropriate cavity wall insulation materials and consequent damage to the outer leaf of masonry walls of flooded homes due to saturated materials within the cavities of walls.

provides high thermal insulation for Green Deal Energy Company Obligation (ECO) hard-to-treat/ non-standard uneven cavity width random stone and coursed stone (including stone ties), brickwork and blockwork standard and variable cavity widths and sub 50mm wide cavity wall properties.

As water levels rise, the Sahara Drainage System moves flood water to an automated pumping station, which removes it to the outside, thus maintaining a completely dry environment both around and below the property, ensuring the property is completely protected. Custom copyrighted software is included in the installation to provide real-time monitoring and feedback to both property owner and the Rapid Response Teams, via the website, through SMS messaging services and email.
