About us
Ambiental Technical Solutions Ltd (www.ambiental.co.uk) is a specialist, insurance-focused flood risk mapping and modelling consultancy. Our goal is to:
- PREDICT – the nature, extent and severity of flood risks more effectively;
- PREVENT – losses to life and damage to property due to flooding;
- PROTECT – our clients’ interests and shareholder value.

Ambiental’s core product “FlowrouteTM” is a highly efficient, innovative, fast and easy-to-understand solution for predicting the depth, duration and extent of flood risk to individual properties. To date, Ambiental has created and distributed river, storm-surge and surface water flood models for at-risk areas in the UK, USA, Europe and Asia.
