Impact

"It’s detrimental if we get flood data wrong and the models we had, prevented us from insuring high-risk flood businesses and properties. We are now moving to Ambiental’s full property level data which gives us more value and greater insight into this complex risk."

"Being able to analyse future flood scenarios is hugely beneficial for us, so we can determine the impact of climate change on our gas network and the services we deliver to our customers."
