Design Smarter. Build Stronger. Reduce Risk.
Flooding is one of the most common and costly natural hazards, and managing it is only getting more complicated. Evolving maps, stricter codes, and new resilience standards can slow projects, increase costs, and create uncertainty.
Brizaga’s Flood Protection Design Lab brings together expertise in engineering, floodplain management, and resilient design to help owners, architects, and property managers make informed decisions across all stages of design, retrofit, and recovery.
What We Do?
- Simplify Floodplain Management. We navigate complex regulations, coordinate with local administrators, and help teams avoid delays during review and permitting.
- Develop Design Criteria that Reflect Real Risk. We go beyond flood maps to consider rainfall, stormwater, and storm surge, ensuring projects are designed for performance, not just compliance.
- Integrate Flood Protection into Design. From early concepts to construction, we help teams evaluate and incorporate the right strategies, whether elevation, drainage, or passive protection systems. Our recommendations are solution-agnostic and tailored to your goals.
- Retrofit Existing Buildings. We assess risk and develop practical, cost-effective improvements to reduce damage and downtime. A property doesn’t have to flood to experience disruption.
- Support Recovery and Adaptation. After a flood, we identify vulnerabilities and guide stronger rebuilds. Our partnership continues beyond recovery to support future improvements.
