FLOOD PLANNING
Prepare for rising flood risk.
Substations, gas lines, and equipment centers weren’t designed to withstand the increasing flood risks caused by today’s climate. To help utilities prepare, Technosylva’s Flood Planning & Operations solutions predict where the risk of flooding is highest, so teams can harden assets and make confident real-time decisions.
FLOOD PLANNING
Know where to prioritize investment.
Flood risk is increasing in both frequency and severity, putting utility infrastructure, capital investments, and long-term resilience at risk. Utilities need more than static flood maps—they need trusted, defensible flood intelligence to guide decisions.
Technosylva’s Flood Planning solution provides utilities with industry-leading flood modeling to support risk-informed grid hardening and planning in a changing climate.
PROVEN GLOBALLY
Prepare with confidence.
Manage floods with the same proven science used by 100+ insurance providers globally and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These organizations trust our flood models to:
- Support defensible capital planning decisions, including hardening and support for new load growth
-
Align infrastructure investments with credible risk data and communicate to insurers and creditors

INDUSTRY-LEADING SCIENCE
Understand the dynamics within the data.
Technosylva delivers flood intelligence grounded in full physics-based modeling leveraging the Oak Ridge National Labs Super Computer. Our flood models are uniquely designed to:
- Accurately capture complex flooding dynamics
- Reflect real-world behavior across diverse geographies
- Represent rare and compounding events that drive the greatest risk
- Capture all major flood types, including storm surge, fluvial (riverine flooding), and pluvial (rainfall-driven flooding)
- Leverage high resolution flood return period maps
CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
Support strategic decision-making.
Flood events can result in catastrophic infrastructure damage. By understanding the full spectrum of flood risk—including rare but high-impact events—utilities can make investment decisions that help prioritize the most important capital investments for a resilient grid and long-term customer affordability.
- Site critical infrastructure away from high-risk flood zones
- Reduce insurance costs or premiums tied to asset exposure
- Prioritize grid hardening projects
- Factor flood risk into load growth and service expansion plans
- Justify capital requests with transparent risk evidence
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Align regulatory & resilience goals.
Utilities increasingly need to demonstrate sound resilience planning and risk disclosure for regulators, shareholders, creditors, and insurance providers. Technosylva’s flood intelligence:
- Supports compliance with regulatory requirements
- Enables defensible documentation for Integrated Resource Plans
- Helps demonstrate proactive risk management
