JBA Trust monitored and documented the rare emergence and flow of the Assendon Stream in 2014 to provide a resource for researchers and practitioners interested in understanding more about this type of groundwater flooding event.
We have published a consolidated chronology of railway asset failures relating to flooding for the period 1846 to 2013. The most common failure mechanism was found to be the undermining of abutments or piers by scour, resulting in their collapse.
We supported the development of a new tool to identify and assess the potential multiple benefits of SuDS schemes.
We are collaborating with the Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium (ITRC) team at Oxford University to research and analyse railway bridge failures.
