Practical Arena Construction for Challenging Flood Conditions
ELD has extensive experience in equestrian arena construction on flood-prone properties across Australia. Over the years, we have successfully designed and constructed arenas in areas affected by periodic inundation, applying practical knowledge to minimise damage and improve recovery following flood events.
Real Experience With Flooding
ELD’s understanding of flood impact is not theoretical. Having personally experienced the 2011 Brisbane floods at the ELD home property on the Brisbane River, we fully appreciate the disruption, damage, and recovery challenges that flooding can bring to equestrian properties.
This firsthand experience informs a realistic and considered approach to planning, design, and construction in flood-affected areas.
Informed Planning to Reduce Flood Damage
ELD can advise and assist in the planning and construction of arenas on flood-prone land, with a strong focus on risk mitigation. While flooding cannot always be prevented, careful design and construction decisions can significantly reduce damage where possible.
Considerations may include:
- Arena positioning and elevation
- Drainage and water flow management
- Surface and base construction methods
- Access and post-flood usability
Every site is assessed individually to deliver the most practical outcome.
Built for Australia’s Extreme Conditions
Australian weather can shift rapidly from drought to flooding rain. ELD constructs equestrian arenas with these changing and often extreme conditions in mind, applying proven construction methods to suit local climate, soil conditions and water behaviour.
Our goal is to deliver arenas that are resilient, practical, and able to recover efficiently following severe weather events.
Experience You Can Trust
With deep knowledge of equestrian construction and Australian environmental conditions, ELD provides clear advice and practical solutions for clients building on flood-prone properties.
For equestrian construction in flood-affected areas, ELD brings experience shaped by both professional projects and personal understanding.
