Benefits of Drainage Priority Assets Surveys

Flood Prevention: By proactively identifying and addressing drainage issues, these surveys help minimize the risk of flooding on highways. Proper water management reduces the potential for road closures, traffic disruptions, and damage to infrastructure caused by excessive water accumulation.

Safety Enhancement: Effective drainage systems contribute to safer driving conditions by preventing the formation of waterlogged areas, which can lead to hydroplaning or reduced vehicle control. By maintaining clear and functioning drainage assets, the risk of accidents caused by poor road conditions is significantly reduced.

Infrastructure Longevity: Regular surveys and maintenance of drainage assets ensure their longevity and prevent major structural deterioration. Addressing issues promptly helps avoid costly repairs or complete asset replacements in the long run, saving valuable resources.

Environmental Stewardship: Proper drainage management minimizes the impact of water runoff on the environment. By ensuring that water is effectively channelled and treated, the risk of pollution reaching natural water bodies is reduced, preserving aquatic ecosystems.
