Flood risk maps leave out the drainage network.
In a city, rainfall flooding is decided largely by whether the drainage network can carry the water. Most commercial flood models are built from terrain and river data and do not include that network. The result is a score that describes an area rather than an address, and scores from different providers can disagree for the same property.
Modelling the network and the surface together shows where the water goes.
Drainage networks are designed for storms expected every 10 to 20 years. In heavier rainfall, water exceeds pipe capacity and flows over the surface. Our models represent both, so they show which streets and buildings receive it, how deep, and how soon.
Our Product
Hydrocycle Global offers innovative engineering consulting services tailored to your needs. Our expertise ensures efficient project execution and sustainable solutions for water management and infrastructure.
Calibrated Models
We provide calibrated models that integrate drainage networks with surface conditions, ensuring accurate simulations for effective planning and decision-making in flood management.
Cost-effective CAPEX
Our CAPEX Packs allow clients to explore various engineering options tested on our models, ensuring optimal design choices before construction begins, saving time and resources.
Real-time Forecasting
Utilizing FloodOS, we deliver live rainfall data through our models, enabling precise street-level forecasts and rapid response strategies to mitigate flood risks effectively.

Sectors
the sector group that carries the financial cost of climate hazards such as flooding, and that needs address-level data to price, insure and protect assets against them.
Lenders
Know which mortgages sit on streets that flood.
Address-level flood depth and timing for credit models and stress tests.
Insurers
Price flood damage by the street, not the postcode.
A building-level index for underwriting, with a backtest on a storm you already know.
Real estate
What it costs to fix + Risk-Score
Site-level flood exposure and the tested cost of mitigation.
Built and delivered: Herzliya, Israel.
The Herzliya model was delivered in August 2026. A planned drainage upgrade was tested on it before construction, and the design was optimised.
