Floodability Studies
At Civiltrek Ingeniería we carry out floodability studies to assess the risk of flooding in plots, buildings or development projects, in accordance with current hydraulic and urban planning regulations.
Our team analyzes the topographic, hydraulic and pluviometric conditions of the environment, using models and technical data to determine the possible flooding impact and the conditions that must be met for the development of the project.
These studies are necessary in many cases for the processing of projects before public administrations, especially when the plots are located in potentially flood-prone areas or near watercourses.
In Civiltrek Ingeniería we prepare rigorous technical reports that allow us to evaluate the risk of flooding and define the necessary measures to ensure the safety and viability of the project.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Why are they especially important in the Marina Alta?
Because it is an area where several risk factors converge: episodes of heavy rainfall typical of the Mediterranean climate, the presence of ravines, areas near the coast and land with slopes that favor runoff.
This means that there are plots that, at first glance, seem perfectly valid, but may be affected by flood risks under certain conditions.
A flood risk study allows us to know objectively whether this risk exists, to what extent and how it may affect the construction or use of the property. It is not only a matter of avoiding obvious flood zones, but also of understanding the real behavior of water in that environment.What type of analysis is performed in a floodability study?
Factors such as the topography of the terrain, proximity to watercourses or natural drainage areas, flood history and official risk mapping are analyzed.
It is also studied how water behaves during heavy rainfall events: where it flows, where it can accumulate and what impact it can have on the plot or the future building.
In many cases, this analysis is complemented by specific regulations that limit or condition construction in certain areas.What decisions condition this analysis?
It directly affects key aspects of the project, such as the location of the dwelling within the plot, the height at which it is built, the design of accesses and the necessary drainage solutions.
In some cases, it may imply the need to adapt the project (for example, by raising the building or reinforcing water evacuation systems), and in others, it may even condition the feasibility of building on that plot.What risks are assumed when this study is not taken into account?
From functional problems such as occasional flooding in accesses or garages, to damage to the building, deterioration of materials or more serious effects in extreme episodes.
In addition, ignoring this aspect may have legal or administrative implications, especially if the plot is affected by flood protection regulations.When is it advisable to perform this study?
Ideally, this should be done before purchasing the land or, at least, at a very early stage of the project.
In this way, decisions can be made with real information, risky investments can be avoided, and the project can be planned safely and adapted to the environment.
