Floodline determination defines the extent of the flood hazard for planning and design so developments avoid unsafe encroachment into flood-prone areas. In Johannesburg, High-intensity convective storms over urbanised catchments increase peak flows; legacy mining infrastructure and dolomitic areas add complexity. Our team supports projects across Gauteng with studies scoped for municipal and DWS review cycles.
Johannesburg sits within Gauteng, where Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni municipal stormwater frameworks influence floodline and stormwater submissions for greenfield and infill projects. For this service, we emphasise defensible hydrology, clear assumptions, and deliverables that integrate with your professional team—survey, civils, and environmental practitioners—so approvals move without rework.

- Rezoning, subdivision, or land-use applications requiring mapped flood hazard
- Road/bridge crossings and services within watercourse buffers
- Insurance, lending, or internal governance requiring mapped extents
- Post-flood rebuild where credible hydraulics must be demonstrated
