Do you consider flood defenses?

Yes. For Riverine and Surface Water Flooding, XDI use flood defence sources from our 3rd party flood map provider. XDI offers clients the option to exclude or include flood defences for an analysis but defaults them to being on. XDI is a science and tech-based company focused on evaluating risk probability using engineering specifications for infrastructure. As part of its analysis, XDI can change the design specifications of a representative asset. Therefore in cases where 3rd party sources do not capture known flood defences, XDI can manipulate an asset's design specifications based on a known return period (e.g. defended to a 1 in 500 year flood event) or height (metres) defence values.
