A joint evening webinar organised by CIWEM East Midlands branch, CIWEM West Midlands branch, CIWEM Rivers & Coastal Group, East Midlands ICE and West Midlands ICE.

Burton Flood Risk Management Scheme is a scheme to protect 4500 homes and 1000 businesses from the River Trent. The project is a 4.5 year construction project costing over £30m. The scheme has required extensive stakeholder engagement. The event is for anyone interested in the challenges and opportunities posed by key stakeholders when delivering a flood risk management scheme.

Topics will be stakeholder engagement, external funding, collaborative working, public relations, project management, risk management and scheme delivery.

Delegates will learn lessons from how the scheme was delivered and the associated challenges and opportunities that we came across during the scheme.
