Case Study: Implementation
Exposure of Critical Infrastructure to Flooding
CADA supported national flood-risk analysis by structuring data, improving model quality, and enabling real-time workshop-based scenario testing.
The Ambition
A complex national risk assessment needed stronger data structure, transparent assumptions, and better communication of competing expert judgements.
Structured data and intuitive geospatial visualisation were essential to bring competing expert judgements into workshop discussions that non-technical stakeholders could interrogate in real time.
How We Added Value
- Identified how structured data management could improve stakeholder engagement quality.
- Created a proof-of-concept tool for non-technical users to explore risk assumptions.
- Improved accessibility of analysis through intuitive geospatial visualisation.
Strategic Delivery Phases
Identification
Audited existing assessment models and risk framework for quality and consistency.
Delivery
Combined unstructured assessment data from Excel with geospatial asset information.
Proof of Concept
Built an interactive web-based interface for live metrics adjustment and visual output.
Outcome
- Provided a scalable framework to calculate risk across extensive critical assets.
- Enabled rapid workshop discussions with immediate visual feedback on trade-offs.
- Improved confidence in communication and interpretation of risk outcomes.
