RTC Case Studies

RTC were proud to take part in a pioneering flood resilience project in Cumbria, which received national recognition by winning the Environment Agency’s Project Excellence Award for Climate Resilience. This groundbreaking initiative aimed to transform three properties into showcases of flood resilience, helping communities understand practical solutions to mitigate flood damage.

The first property to be completed was Botcherby Community Centre in Carlisle, a facility that had been severely damaged during Storm Desmond on 5th December 2015 and had remained largely unusable since. This project was supported by the North West Regional Flood and Coastal Committee (RFCC), the Environment Agency, and flood resilience expert Mary Dhonau OBE.
