Extreme heat is not just a heat problem.

Preparedness cannot only be about responding to the weather in front of us. It has to start with understanding where networks are vulnerable, how risks connect and where the greatest impacts are likely to be felt.

Prolonged hot and dry weather can place pressure on infrastructure, water resources and vegetation, while increasing the risk of wildfire, highway deterioration and surface water flooding when heavy rainfall eventually arrives.

Our latest article explores why extreme heat is not just a heat problem, and why preparedness starts with understanding the wider network.

Proud to have been commended in the @CIHTUK Resilience Award with @wiltscouncil and @MGroupHighways.

The project has helped Wiltshire move from reactive drainage maintenance to a risk-based, resilience-led model, improving asset understanding, targeting intervention where it matters most and strengthening preparedness for severe weather.

Most importantly, it demonstrates what can be achieved when local authorities, delivery partners and sector specialists work together towards a shared objective.

Proximity Alerting is about giving crews the right information at the point of delivery.

We’ve expanded on our recent video in a short article looking at why the context around an asset matters, especially where routine maintenance connects to wider environmental risk and operational decision-making.

Not every risk is visible on the surface.

Whether it’s a river, bathing water or another environmentally sensitive location, a routine drainage activity can have wider implications depending on where that asset sits within the network and what it connects to downstream.

Providing operatives with the right information at the point of delivery helps protect the environment, reduce avoidable mistakes and ensure decisions on site reflect the wider network, not just the asset in view.

“Local authorities need to prepare, and they need to be resilient.”

Meet Ian Carter, our new Chief Sales Officer.

With over 20 years’ experience working with local authorities and public sector organisations, Ian brings a strong understanding of the pressures councils face and the support they increasingly need.

His focus is on building long-term relationships based on trust, practical advice and helping authorities understand how software, services and data can work together to support better outcomes.

The Environment Agency’s new SWIM guidance is an important shift for surface water flood risk management.

One of the biggest challenges with SuDS has always been demonstrating the cumulative value of multiple smaller interventions and building a strong enough case to access funding. SWIM begins to address that by allowing packages of SuDS measures to be appraised together as a single intervention.

For LLFAs and highways authorities, this increases the importance of network visibility, evidence and understanding how interventions contribute to wider resilience outcomes.

We’ve pulled together a short practical overview of what the update means in practice for authorities: https://t.co/vFGnMNwe9F

Forecasts alone don’t explain how a drainage network will behave under pressure.

Understanding where weather may place stress on assets, routes and communities requires forecasts to sit alongside operational network data, not separately from it.

In our latest short read, we look at how live weather overlays are helping teams bring forecast information directly into the operational picture to support preparedness, prioritisation and a more resilient network.

As we head into May, many councils are once again supporting initiatives like #NoMowMay, pausing grass cutting in selected areas to support biodiversity and local habitats. At the same time, teams are balancing this with very real operational needs, from maintaining visibility on the highway network to managing public expectations around how spaces are maintained.

This isn’t a simple “cut vs don’t cut” decision. It highlights a wider challenge across green infrastructure: how do you manage different outcomes, safety, biodiversity, cost and public perception in a way that is clear, consistent and evidence-led?

This is where better visibility of the network becomes critical. Understanding where cutting is needed, where it isn’t, and why, allows authorities to move away from reactive decisions and towards a more structured, informed approach.

We’ve explored this in more detail here: https://t.co/VHdOik4BMr

We’re growing our team at KaarbonTech and looking for a Business Development Executive to join us!

This role sits at the front of how we engage with local authorities, helping shape conversations around how infrastructure is managed, understood and improved over time.

We work alongside authorities as their Resilience Partner, supporting better decision-making across drainage, highways and green infrastructure through data, insight and practical delivery.

Flood risk isn’t just about understanding where problems might occur; it’s about deciding what to do next and being able to justify it.

Our risk modelling helps authorities prioritise action, target investment, and support funding bids with clear evidence, moving from reactive response to planned intervention.

We’re pleased to be continuing our work with @northyorksc for the next 4 years, supporting their drainage and flood resilience approach.

This renewal also marks the second consecutive year that the full gully maintenance programme has been delivered to 100%, something that hadn’t been achieved prior to this shift in approach.

It reflects the move away from a purely cyclical model towards a more structured, risk-informed programme, with improved visibility, planning and delivery, helping to build a more resilient network and support long-term flood resilience across the area.

Continuing from understanding what’s been built, the next challenge is keeping that information connected over time.

What was approved, what was built, what’s happened since - and who’s responsible at each stage?

Our SuDS lifecycle tracking helps maintain a connected record of each asset, from planning through to long-term management.

We’re pleased to be continuing our work with Middlesbrough Council, with the implementation of Tree SMART to support the management of tree risk across the authority.

This extends the partnership to support both drainage operations and tree risk management, helping create a more complete view of infrastructure, risk and performance across the authority.

This forms part of our ongoing role as their Resilience Partner, supporting better understanding, planning and long-term management of the network.

Knowing something’s built is one thing. Knowing what’s been tested, evidenced, and still at risk is another.

As part of our wider Flood Resilience development, we’re focusing on how SuDS are understood beyond design; bringing structure and visibility to what’s actually been delivered on site.

This includes auditing; capturing what’s been built, recording testing, and maintaining a clear, evidence-based history over time.

Flooding isn’t just a dot on a map.

A single point might show where flooding was recorded, but it doesn’t show the extent of the event, which assets were affected, or how it impacted the wider network.

Our latest Flood Resilience insight explores how moving from points to mapped flood extents creates a clearer understanding of risk, impact, and where intervention is actually needed.

When people see potholes, the focus is usually on the surface, but the surface is only the outcome. Standing water, drainage performance and how water behaves on the network play a much bigger role in how and where deterioration occurs.

This short video looks at that relationship, and why understanding where water is actually sitting on the network can support more informed preventative decisions.

Flood events are understood through the evidence we piece together afterwards; but that evidence is often spread across systems, teams and responsibilities.

From asset data and highways drainage through to Section 19 investigations, each part tells a piece of the story, but rarely in one place.

Our latest insight into our Flood Resilience development explores how bringing these elements together into a single view moves away from silos and creates a clearer understanding of what actually happened, and what needs to happen next.
