During my placement, I worked directly with Infrastructre Director on projects in Wales, where I used hydraulic design software to determine optimal channel sizes. I created catchment plans, construction details, and assembled the full package for a S104 SAB application.

My role included designing drainage details and exceedance plans, using ACO drain software to model 100-year flood scenarios and support sustainable drainage strategies. This experience strengthened my technical, analytical, and communication skills through hands-on work and site visits.
