  • Caherdavin Area Strategic Study: Flood Risk Assessment
    Caherdavin Area Strategic Study: Flood Risk Assessment Luke Ballantyne CEng MCIWEM, Kathryn Bell BSc (Hons), both Arup The authors wish to acknowledge the assistance provided by Limerick County Council and Arup Consulting Engineers in the writing of this paper. Abstract Arup was appointed by Limerick County Council to undertake a flooding and surface water drainage assessment of the Coonagh/ Caherdavin area of Limerick as part of the Strategic Study of Sanitary Services and Transportation Infrastructure Phase 1. This forms part of an ongoing study looking at the future development of Limerick. There is considerable pressure on the council to permit development within this area thus the council would like to gain a greater understanding of the flood risk issues before allowing any further development to proceed. The study site comprises mostly reclaimed land with the lowest ground levels below 0mAOD. The majority of the area is used for agricultural purposes with existing dwellings situated on the areas of higher ground. Large earth embankments of over 5m height protect the majority of the study site. This flood risk assessment examined the wider catchment and estuary of the River Shannon and its particular complexities downstream of the Parteen Weir, including Ardnacrusha and confluences with major tributaries. To undertake the study a large amount of data was collated. This included topography (both extensive photogrammetry and localised topographic surveys for individual sites), land drainage systems, and historic flood extents.
