Partridge provided hydraulic and civil engineering solutions for a flood-resilient home in Stanmore, collaborating with Sam Crawford Architects. The site, prone to overland flooding, required a detailed flood risk assessment and innovative mitigation strategies. Our engineers tackled challenges such as poor drainage, rising flood levels, and structural resilience. Solutions included flood barriers, watertight materials, and strategic water management to prevent runoff impacts. Elevated living areas were designed to meet strict planning and flood regulations, incorporating an additional 500mm freeboard for safety. We ensured compliance with the Inner West Council Development Control Plan and the NSW Floodplain Development Manual, delivering a robust technical report to support approval. Through careful planning and engineered flood protections, Partridge helped transform a vulnerable property into a safe, modern, and sustainable home fit for future conditions.
