Our Collaborative Base in Scotland

August 12, 2022

We are thrilled to announce that Envireau Water, Scotland, have relocated to a new premises at the Stirling University Innovation Park. 

This exciting move demonstrates our development and continuing commitment to our Scottish Client base and reflects the growing demand for water resource consultancy throughout Scotland, particularly within the food and drink and quarrying sectors.


This move allows us to build on and to deliver environmental innovation through collaboration and technical consultancy with our friends at cbec Eco Engineering and WRc, who are members of the RSK Group, aptly based in the same building!


Christopher Woodhouse, Principal Hydrogeologist, and head of our Scottish base commented: 


“Since opening our Scottish Office a year ago, we have grown as a team and established ourselves in distilling and minerals as renowned consultants that boast a high degree of technical expertise and regulatory understanding that is scarce in Scotland. Moving closer to Cbec and WRc is a fantastic opportunity to boost our capabilities and service offering, working in collaboration to continue delivering projects to the high standard we are known for.”


Our old offices served us extremely well, with many lunchtime treks, team socials and plenty of projects! However, we couldn’t be more thrilled to move into our new office with the RSK Family and the Wallace monument on our doorstep. 


We are excited about our development. We hope you will join us as part of our future.

Changes to flood risk guidance in Wales

By Rachael Plant • April 30, 2025
Understanding both current and future flood risk in Wales is essential for helping planners, developers and landowners understand how flood risk is assessed within the planning process, ensuring that new developments are resilient and sustainable. Originally published in 2004, the Welsh Government recently published a significantly revised Technical Advice Note (TAN) 15 on 31st March, detailing critical changes to flood risk guidance. What are the key updates? Development types: The classification of development types has been updated and expanded. Categories now include Highly Vulnerable, Less Vulnerable, and Water-Compatible developments. Examples of Highly Vulnerable uses include all residential buildings, hospitals, schools, and emergency services infrastructure. This classification determines where development may be acceptable depending on the level of flood risk.
