INNISKEEN MODEL
General Hydraulic Model Information
(1) Introduction:
The NWNB CFRAM Flood Risk Review (2011s5232 NW&NB CFRAM FRR Report_Final_v2.0) highlighted
Inniskeen as an AFA for fluvial flooding based on a review of historic flooding and the extents of flood risk
determined during the PFRA.
The River Fane is the main watercourse that flows through the Inniskeen AFA (refer to Section 4.2.4,
Figure 4.2.1). From the village of Inniskeen, the River Fane flows in south-easterly direction for
approximately 20km before discharging into Dundalk Bay. The entire Fane system starts at the upstream
end of Lough Muckno (located east of Castleblayney). The Clarebane River flows between Lough Muckno
and Lough Ross, which is located on the boundary of Northern Ireland. From here, the River Fane flows
from Lough Ross and then back through the Republic of Ireland. The River Fane system has been heavily
utilised to supply water to several locations, north and south of the border. These areas include Monaghan
County, Newry and Mourne as well as Dundalk and its surrounding hinterland. Since the late 1980's, a low
flow augmentation scheme has ensured that these areas have been supplied with an adequate supply of
water. Prior to the development of this scheme, low flow rates where often experienced as a direct
consequence of significant abstraction levels and the system’s inability to replenish. Two tributaries of the
River Fane (the Inniskeen and the Lannat) are also part of the Inniskeen model, entering the River Fane
within the AFA. In addition four small unnamed tributaries (called Tributary 1 to 4) are included within the
model as shown on Figure 4.2.1.
2
The Fane catchment area at the downstream limit of the Inniskeen model is 338km . The catchment area
2
of the River Fane at Moyles Mill (upstream of Inniskeen AFA) is 229km .
Hydrometric station 06011 (Moyles Mill), is an A1 station operated by OPW with 40 years of data. It is
located at the upstream extent of the Model on the River Fane and has been used as a pivotal site for
adjusting initial Qmed estimates with an adjustment factor of 0.86. Qmed values for the modelled tributaries
were not adjusted as they are not hydrologically similar. These tributaries are generally much smaller (less
than 5% of the catchment for tributaries directly affecting the AFA) and are not directly affected by the
attenuation effect of Lough Muckno. Full details of hydrological analysis for this model are included in
UoM 06 Hydrology Report (IBE0700_Rp0008_F01).
The River Fane (0613M) is HPW as it flows through the AFA, and is MPW along the modelled reaches
upstream and downstream of the AFA extents. Upstream of the AFA the MPW reach runs from chainage
-23m to 1851m. Downstream of the AFA the MPW reach runs from chainage 4540m to 22097m. The
HPW portion of the River Fane runs between chainage 1851m and 4540m (within the AFA). All modelled
tributaries are HPW. HPWs have been modelled as 1D-2D using the MIKE suite of software. The MPW

reaches of the River Fane have been modelled as 1D only. The 1D and 2D hydrodynamic models were
integrated into one modelling system using MIKE FLOOD. This method has allowed the modelling of the
model domain in 1D detail and the surrounding area beyond the main channels in 2D. For watercourses
which are modelled in 1D/2D the rising water levels spill onto the 2D domain from the 1D cross-sections.
This occurs at bank markers set per cross section in the MIKE 11 software. The markers are generally set
at the highest point of the river bank.

Gauging Station HEP (Moyles Mill, 06011_RA denotes the upstream limit of the Inniskeen Model and as
such was used for derivation of design flows (refer to UoM 06 Hydrology Report and Section 4.2.3(5) of
this report. Castlering and Stephenstown Gauging Stations (Stn no. 06057 and 06035 respectively) have
no associated water level or flow data and so were redefined as Intermediate HEPs. The Intermediate
and Downstream Limit HEPs were used in the anchoring of model results to hydrological estimates (refer
to Appendix A.3). The downstream node 06_977_3_RA on the River X was used a model inflow point
instead of the Upstream Limit HEP 06_997_2_RA (refer to Section 4.2.3(5)).

(9) Survey Issues:
Several minor survey queries relating to Inniskeen model were raised. All queries are outlined below have
IBE0700Rp0012

NWNB CFRAM Study
been resolved.

At cross-section 0613M02124X, it was indicated on the original survey drawing that a fish pass
was observed but not surveyed (due to health and safety concerns). Following a survey query
this cross-section was re-surveyed to include a complete cross-section under safe conditions;

Several cross-sections along the Fane River including 0613M02118, 0613M02088, 0613M02081,
0613M02080, 0613M02078, 0613M02073, 0613M02068, 0613M02063 and 0613M01900X were
not completely surveyed due to fast flowing water.
Following a survey query, the surveyors
completed these cross-sections under safe conditions.

Additional survey points and cross-sections were requested to improve the calibration between
the model and Moyles Mill gauging station, Q-H relationship (Rating Review) – refer to Section
4.2.4(4) for further details.

Weirs: 4
Several critical structures were identified in the model; they are presented below see Figure 4.2.8 to 4.2.15
inclusive. The survey information recorded includes a photograph of each structure, which has been used to
determine the Manning's n value. Further details are included in Chapter 3.5.1. A discussion on the way
structures have been modelled is included in Chapter 3.3.4. Critical structures are as follows.
Figure 4.2.8 below show the River Lannat culvert 0615M00026I (chainage 288m to 540m) at its upstream
opening. Model results show that this circular culvert restricts flood flow during a 0.1% AEP fluvial event and
that out of bank flooding initially occurs on the right (west) bank (chainage 268m) upstream of this structure.
The 0.1% AEP fluvial flood event causes ponding upstream from this structure and into an area of agricultural
fields. Flood waters then flow in a downstream direction (SSE) towards the River Fane.

Figure 4.2.9 below shows Inniskeen River, culvert 0614M00053I (chainage 29.592m). This circular culvert
(diameter 0.9m) is located close to the modelled upstream extent of the Inniskeen River. Due to the presence
and restrictive capacity of this culvert, flood waters accumulate upstream during 10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP
modelled fluvial events. During the 1% and 0.1% AEP events, flood waters spread out into an area that is the
site of Lisarolagh Fort and appears to be an area of woodland, no residential properties are affected.

A stone arch bridge (0613M02144D) (chainage 659m) shown below in Figure 4.2.10 is located upstream of
the Inniskeen AFA on a meander of River Fane. This bridge is part of the old Great Northern Railway route.
Model results indicate that the bridge restricts flood flow during 1% and 0.1% AEP fluvial flood events with
causing flooding on the left bank (east) of the River Fane, into an area of agricultural land. No properties are

Figure 4.2.11 shows Inniskeen (road) Bridge (0613M01906D) (chainage 3049m) which is located within the
centre of Inniskeen AFA. This structure has insufficient capacity during the modelled 1% and 0.1% AEP
fluvial events causing flooding to Deery's Terrace (housing).

Figure 4.2.12 shows Knock Bridge (0613M01031D) (chainage 11807m), where the R171 crosses the River
Fane. Model results show that the bridge restricts flow during 10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP fluvial events. This
causes flooding upstream of the bridge on the right bank (west). Several agricultural buildings located within
this area are affected.

Figure 4.2.13 shows Stephenstown (road) Bridge (0613M00702D) (chainage 15089m).
This triple-arch
structure is located where the N52 crosses the River Fane. Model results show that flood flow is restricted
during the 10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP fluvial events. The agricultural fields immediately upstream of this bridge,
particularly on the right bank (south) are susceptible to flooding.
On the left bank, approximately 30m
upstream from this bridge, a large property is at risk of flooding.

The Fane River Bridge (0613M00392D) (chainage 18190m) shown in Figure 4.2.14, is located on the
Commons Road where it crosses over the River Fane. This road bridge restricts flood flow during modelled
1% and 0.1% AEP fluvial events causing flooding close to the upstream face of the Stephens Town Bridge.

Figure 4.2.15 shows a bridge on the River Fane 0613M01588D (chainage 6227m). Model results show that
this structure contributes to a significant amount of flooding during 10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP events. Adjacent
agricultural fields and several farm buildings, located on the right (west) bank are affected by flooding.
Evidence of debris accumulation e.g. tree trucks and branches, as shown in the Figure 4.2.15 is reflective of
the restrictive nature of this structure.

Following initial model simulations, the flow outputs at HEP check points were compared with hydrological
estimates.
Following hydrological investigation it was necessary to adjust the timing of some inflow
hydrographs (for tributaries entering modelled reaches) to alter the occurrence of peak flow and achieve
anchoring of the model to estimated / observed flows. The timing was either delayed or increased within the
model as listed in Table 4.2.2. Full details of hydrological analysis are included in UoM 06 Hydrology Report
(Rp008_F02).

On the Inniskeen modelled tributary the design flow at HEP 06_997_3_RA was used as an inflow at the
upstream HEP 06_997_2_RA. This was done rather than inserting a nominal upstream inflow and a very
small lateral inflow and is justified since the difference in the catchment area between these HEPs is
negligible.
Figure 4.2.16 provides an example of the upstream input hydrograph (1% AEP) on the River Fane
(06011_RA) River Lannat (06_345_U_RARPS) and River Inniskeen (06_997_3).

Derivation of these hydrographs is detailed in the UoM 06 Hydrology Report (IBE0700_Rp0008, Chapter 6).
The inflow hydrograph at Station 06011 on the River Fane was derived using the FSU Hydrograph Shape
generator tool (FSU WP 3.1) and verified against plotted hydrographs for extreme events in the recorded
dataset. For example, the observed November 2009 event hydrograph from the Moyle’s Mill gauging station,
estimated to have had a flood frequency of approximately 1% AEP, was compared to the 1% AEP design
hydrograph at the upstream inflow. Comparison of the November 2009 plotted hydrograph (Figure 4.2.17)
indicates that the design shape is generally reflective of the observed event, in terms of width and time to
peak whilst ensuring model stability by providing a regular shape, free from the erratic multiple peaks of the
particular recorded event.

Boundaries
Downstream Conditions:
–
A water level boundary was applied to the downstream extent of the
Fane River at the point of discharge into Dundalk Bay (Fane River
chainage 22097.35) see Figure 4.2.18. The downstream extent of the
River Fane has been modelled in 1D only. The water-level boundary
applied to this location is a simulation of diurnal tidal conditions,
combined with a surge residual component, which together form a Total
Water Level (TWL). A tidal water boundary was applied instead of a Q-h
relation based on the information extracted from the 'Site Assessment'

(http://nwnb.cfram.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/2011s5232-SiteAssessment-Co-Louth_web.pdf). It is noted that high tide floods land
along the River and the River Fane is tidal to Stephenstown Bridge.
It should also be noted that an outlet reach was added to the model to
allow the 0.1% AEP flood to leave the 2D domain and prevent unrealistic
water depths at the northern boundary. A constant water level of 59.19
mOD Malinhead was applied to both the upstream and downstream
cross-sections of the outlet reach. The constant water level is an initial
'dummy' value set only slightly greater than the bed level of the cross
sections. The value is ignored once the flood extents reach the outlet,
which is connected to the 2D domain by a standard link. The level of the
boundary varies in time based on dynamic calculations driven by the
flood extents.
A 'water-level' boundary that was reflective of a TWL was applied to the downstream extent of the River Fane
(22097m) to reflect the influence of coastal water levels upon fluvial flooding scenarios. This TWL has been
calculated using predicted tidal levels combined with the surge residual.
Outputs from the ICPSS have resulted in extreme tidal and storm surge water levels being made available
around the Irish Coast for a range of AEPs. ICPSS node NE_04 (Irish Grid ref. -6.35394_53.95552) was used
to generate extreme water levels close to the downstream end of the Fane River in Dundalk Bay. The location
of this ICPSS node relative to the Fane River can be seen in Figure 4.2.18 with associated AEP water levels
listed in Table 4.2.3. Figure 4.2.19 shows the Total Water Level profile that was applied to the downstream of
the Inniskeen model.

The ICPSS water levels are total water levels, comprising tidal and surge components which together yield a
joint probability event of a particular AEP.
Using information from the Secondary Ports of Dunany Point and Soldiers Point in the Admiralty Tide Tables;
RPS established a tidal water level approaching Mean High Water Springs (MHWS). This tidal level is
representative of Dundalk Bay.
A surge component is added to produce a total water level for the relevant
%AEP. The astronomic tide level was calculated to be 1.75m OD Malin and is equivalent to a tide half way
between a Mean High Tide (MHT) and a MHWS.
Tidal profiles were extracted from the RPS Irish Seas model and scaled using the established tidal water
level. The tidal curve was combined with the appropriate scaled residual surge profile of 48 hours duration to
obtain the total combined water level time series as required for the relevant AEPs see Figure 4.2.18.

(a) Recurring
Flooding incidents in Inniskeen have been described as 'recurring' in the 'Meeting
Minutes of the Carrickmacross Area Engineer' (see www.floodmaps.ie). This source
has stated that the River Fane has a tendency to overflow its banks every second
year as the consequence of heavy rainfall. Several spatial references have been
provided, these include
1. School (St Daigs) playing fields,
2. Pitch & putt course,
3. Residential properties.
Although these 'recurring' flooding events generally equate to a 50% AEP, the above
listed spatial references are useful for verifying the modelled flood extents at the 10%
AEP fluvial scenario which has been modelled to date. Figure 4.2.25 shows the 10%
AEP modelled flood extents and spatial references 1, 2 and 3 as listed above.
No other information regarding the date or duration of these flooding events is
available. It is not possible to associate these 'recurring' flooding events with a
particular rainfall event.

Comments presented in NWNB CFRAM Study_Progress Report No.10, refer to the
occurrence of a flooding event in Inniskeen during 2009. Gleneven Guesthouse and
The Mill were flooded. Gleneven Guesthouse and The Mill are located between the
Fane River and a Fane River Tributary 2 see Section 4.2.5(5)(b). Data obtained from
the Moyles Mill (06011) gauging station provides evidence that the largest peak flow

recorded by this gauge was 34m /s 19/11/2009 (see Figure 4.2.17).
This
approximately equates to a 1% AEP fluvial event based on an FSU at site flood

review).

Summary of Calibration
Available historic flooding reports referring to Inniskeen, generally describe how the River Fane overflowed
its banks every second year following heavy rain. The historical information that has been presented
generally refers to low magnitude, high frequency fluvial flooding events, i.e. approximately 50% AEP.
Three spatial flooding references were compared with the lowest modelled flooding scenario of 10% AEP
to show a good comparison, see Figure 4.2.25.
During November 2009, it was reported that a more extreme flooding event occurred. Moyles Mill (06011)
3
hydraulic gauging station recorded a peak flow of 34m /s, which approximates to a 1% AEP fluvial flooding
event (refer to Figure 4.2.17). The 1% AEP fluvial event scenario model results were compared with this
report to show that The Mill and Gleneven House are affected by flooding see Figure 4.2.26. According to
the modelled flood extents, flooding also occurs within this area during a 10% AEP fluvial flooding
scenario. In summary, the modelled results compare well with the descriptions of historic event flooding,
therefore providing model verification.
Met Eireann have described November 2009, as being notable for high rainfall and the cause of severe
flooding experienced in many parts of the country. Rainfall totals for November were the highest on
record at most stations see http://www.met.ie/publications/Rainfall%20November%202009.pdf. Therefore
flood mechanism associated with fluvial flooding in Inniskeen is prolonged and heavy rainfall. No recent
localised rainfall data was obtained to make an assessment of rainfall event frequency. Several rain
gauge stations were checked including Inniskeen, Louth, Knockbridge and Hackballcross, none of which

record data beyond 2006.
Model flows were checked against the estimated flows at HEP check points where possible to ensure the
model is well anchored to the hydrological estimates. For example, at HEP 06_92_1_RA on the Fane
3
River, the estimated flow during the 1% AEP event is 33.43 m /s (IBE0700Rp0008_UoM 06 Hydrology
3
Report_F01, Appendix D) and the modelled flow is 36.6 m /s. Full flow tables and discussion of
comparison results are in Appendix A.3
A mass balance check has been carried out on the model to make sure that the total volume of water
entering and leaving the model at the upstream and downstream boundaries balances the quantity of
water remaining in the model domain at the end of a simulation. Refer to Chapter 3.11 for details of
acceptable limits. Results produced a difference of 2% which is acceptable so the model is considered to
be robust and stable.
The rating curve and spot gaugings at the Moyles Mill (06011) were used to calibrate the model results.
The results of this exercise are presented in Section 4.2.5(4) of this report.

(4) Gauging Stations:
a) Moyles Mill (06011) is an A1 gauging station with 48 years of water level and flow data. It is located on
the River Fane, upstream from the north-western extent of the AFA boundary and 2km upstream from the
Lannat River Tributary confluence. A rating review was conducted for this station (refer to UoM 06
Hydrology Report Rp0008 Chapter 3). Figure 4.2.27 presents the modelled rating curve plotted against
the existing OPW rating. OPW spot gaugings, pre and post 1981 are also included on this plot.
In an attempt to improve the relationship between the modelled and the low flow spot gaugings, an infill
survey was commissioned to find a low flow control point. Several additional cross sections were also
added to the model (see Section 4.2.2(9)). However even with the addition of further survey information
the shape of the lower curve did not alter significantly. The modelled rating curve, spot gaugings and
second OPW derived rating equation (from approximately 0.8m up to 1.5m) shows a close comparison. A
good comparison is also evident between the modelled curve and the higher post 1981 spot gaugings.
Several adjustments were made to the model parameters in order to improve the low flow model results
without much success. Supportive of the validity of the modelled results, it should be recognised that the
spot gaugings used to derive the original OPW rating curve are old. The most recent spot gaugings were
taken at least 15 years ago. Consequently, any change made to the river channel at or within a close

strongly recommended that several new spot gaugings are recorded.

4.2.6
Hydraulic Model Assumptions, Limitations and Handover Notes
(1) Hydraulic Model Assumptions:
(a) The survey report suggests the Fane River Tributaries 2 (0613B) was filled in at the upstream end so
the no water can flow from the main Fane River (0613M). It was also suggested that 'standing water' in
some cross-sections is contributed to run-off originating from grounds on either side. The surveyors have
further added that 'there is no water flowing through the reach'. Following an 'on-site' inspection by a RPS
senior engineer, it was suggested that the presence of a 'clay mound' blocked inflow from the main Fane
River (0613M) into this tributary (0613B). Based on this information it was suggested that 0613B be
omitted from 'Draft' model versions.
However, following a review of the 'Draft' model results; it was
revealed that the 1% and 0.1% AEP fluvial flooding scenarios are of a sufficient level to overtop this clay
mound. Following this observation, this reach (0613B) has been included the model Draft Final (Design)
versions of the Inniskeen Model.
Considering that the 'clay mound' is recognised as a hydraulically
significant structure it has been integrated into model simulations. It is represented in MIKE11 as part of a
weir (0613B chainage 69). Following an inspection of survey photographs and cross-sections it has been
assumed that weir levels (see left bank and marker 1) are at an elevation of 44.6mOD (Malinhead) to
represent this feature.
(b) A wall crosses the Lannat River at cross-section 0615M00044 (chainage 109.43) see Figure 4.2.28,
below. This wall has been included on the Draft Final model simulations. Based on the distance between
the cross-section 0613M00044 and 0613M00034 (1m) it has been estimated that the downstream invert
level is approximately 47.64mOD Malinhead.

Figure 4.2.28: River Lannat, Cross-Section 0615M00044
(c) The culvert 0615M00026I, located on the River Lannat (between chainage 288.477m and 539.65m),
was modelled as six closed cross-sections with a constant diameter of 0.6m.
(d) An abandoned sluice gate located at cross-section 0613B00061 was not included in the model, since it
is no longer operational. This section of the river was treated as 'Open' rather than 'Closed Irregular’. As
evident from its current poor condition (see photograph 0613B000061_DN), it can be concluded that this
sluice gate is no longer operational.
(e) An assumption has been made regarding the downstream face and length of structure 0613D00001I.
At this point the culvert adjoins with the River Fane (0613M). Due to the presence of dense vegetation
coverage, the surveyors were unable to locate the downstream face of this culvert. Using the Draft model
network file, it was assumed that the downstream face of this structure is roughly similar to the surveyed
upstream face. It is also assumed that the downstream face of this structure is located at the end of this
reach, before it adjoins with the River Fane (chainage 61.34).
(f) 0614M00002D and 0614M00001I have been represented as one combined structure (0614M00001I) in
model simulations. Due to their close proximity (0.28m), the combination of these two structures improved
the stability of the model at this location.
(h) Both bridge and culvert structures were incorporated into the model as culverts. This approach was
applied following recommendations from DHI. This approach is justified in that DHI consider culverts to be
more stable. Furthermore there is no difference between defining the geometry of the culvert in the
Network Editor and using a cross-section file.
(i) An outlet channel was applied to the upstream extent of the River Fane, to allow the 0.1% AEP flood
extent to leave the 2D domain and prevent unrealistic water depths at the northern boundary. A constant

water level of 59.19mOD Malinhead was applied to both the upstream and downstream cross sections of
the outlet reach. This constant water level is an initial 'dummy' value set only slightly greater than the bed
level of the cross section 0613M02208). This value is ignored once the flood extents reach the outlet,
which is connected to the 2D domain by a standard link. The level of the boundary varies in time based on
dynamic calculations driven by the flood extents.
(j) The downstream extent of the Fane River is tidally influenced.

hat 'High' tide floods land
along the River Fane', see Section 4.2.5(5)(c). It has also been noted that the Fane River is tidal to
Stephenstown Bridge. Considering that the flooding associated with the downstream extent of this model
is tidally influenced, it is justified to apply a water-level boundary that reflects the dynamic nature of the
tidal cycle. The fluvial peak flow and peak TWL were adjusted so that they would occur simultaneously.
The generation of the water-level boundary applied to the Inniskeen model downstream extent is outlined
in Section 4.2.3(6).

sections at structures is a standard procedure that promotes model stability.
(c) A model instability at the downstream extent of the Fane River, reflects the rising tide pushing against
fluvial flow. This model instability is prevalent at the downstream extent of the River Fane (chainage
2209m) but becomes significantly reduced further upstream (19371m). Although it has been stated that
the River Fane is tidal up to Stephenstown Bridge (18189.90m), the old 6 inch OS maps have been
annotated with 'Highest point to which Ordinary Tides flood', close to cross-section 0613M00260
(19548.8).
(d) Prior to Draft Final model runs, the MPW section of the Fane River (0613M) and Tributary 1 (0613A)
inaccurately represented the spatial extent of flooding. This 'glass-walling' is attributed to the limitations of
1D modelling. To resolve this issue, cross-sections located outside the 2d domain of the model
(downstream from chainage 5026.22m on the Fane River (0613M); and Fane Tributary 1 (0613A) were
extended in length beyond the River channel and across the Fane River flood-plain. The NDHM was used
to enable the extension of MPW cross-sections.
(e) A 5 x 5 m mesh was used in 2D modelling. It is considered that the 5 m resolution is best suited for
modelling purposes to maintain sufficient detail of the modelled area and floodplain. It is recognised that
some detail relating to Inniskeen may have been of too small resolution to be 'picked up' by LiDAR
information e.g. fences, walls, paths and minor roads. Therefore, it is recognised that complex hydraulic
processes of a finer resolution may not be represented in this model.
(3) Design Event Runs & Hydraulic Model Handover Notes:
(a) Upstream on the River Fane (0613M) (chainages -30 to 58); flooding occurs on the right bank (west)
during 10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP fluvial events. During the 1% and 0.1% AEP events, flooding occurs on
the right bank. Downstream at cross-section 0613M02163 (chainage 443.01m) flooding mainly occurs on
the left bank. The downstream route of flood flow is restricted by structure 0613M02144D; (see Section
4.2.3 (1) & Figure 4.2.10) and the remains of a railway embankment. Flood waters pond behind these
features in an area of agricultural land on the right bank of the river. No properties are at risk.
(b) There is flooding to the rear of a property located at the site of the former Moyles Mill (0613M02080
chainage 1303.27m) during 10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP fluvial events. During 10% AEP level, flooding splits
into two flow paths at 0613M02078 (1321.56m), merging again at 0613M02053 (1575.85m). Flood flow
routes follow the route of an abandoned mill race. The extent of flooding during 1% and 0.1% AEP fluvial
scenarios is restricted by the presence of a path located on the (west) left bank of the River between
0613M02058 (1537.75) to 0613M02038 (1722.24).
(c) The River Fane enters Inniskeen AFA after at cross section 0613M01978 (Chainage 2330m) and flows
beneath bridge structure 0613M01968D. During the 10% AEP fluvial flood event no significant flooding
occurs until its confluence with both the Inniskeen River (0614M) and Fane River Tributary 2 (0613B).
During the 10% AEP fluvial event, there is flooding downstream on the Inniskeen River (chainage 565m)
on the right bank (west). Directly downstream of this confluence, flooding occurs mainly on the left bank of
the River Fane (chainage 3164m to 3405m). After cross-section 0613M01888 (chainage 3238m) right
bank flooding is directed across the NNE boundary of St Daighs School playing fields and flows south east
over the pitch and putt park. Flooding occurs on both river banks around cross section 0613M01870
IBE0700Rp0012
4.2-31
Rev F02
HA06 Hydraulics Report (Inniskeen) – DRAFT FINAL
NWNB CFRAM Study
(chainage 3405m).
These flood routes merge to join the main Fane channel near cross section
0613M01845 (chainage 3658m). At this point 'Gleneven house' is located in the path of flood flow route.
(d) During the 10% AEP fluvial event or greater, flooding occurs on both banks of the River Fane close to
cross section 0613M01973 (chainage 2364m). A Water Treatment Plant located here is at risk from
flooding.
(e) The rear of several properties located along St Daigh's Terrace, located downstream from
0613M1930D are at significant risk of flooding during the 10% AEP event. Furthermore Inniskeen Bridge
(0613M01906D) see Section 4.2.3(1) and Figure 4.2.11, restricts flood flow during 1% and 0.1% AEP
fluvial flood events. Several properties located upstream are at risk of flooding.
(f) The Lannat River is capable of containing flows within its banks for the 10% and 1% AEP fluvial events.
During the 0.1% AEP modelled event, 'out of bank' flooding is observed, which is due to the presence of
culvert 0615M00026I (chainage 288.5m to 540m). The model demonstrates that this structure cannot
efficiently convey large quantities of flood water. This leads to overland flooding in a downstream direction
(SSE) towards the River Fane.
(g) An inadequate sized culvert 0614M00053I (chainage 30m) located upstream along the Inniskeen River
significantly contributes to the flooding of an area, located on the right bank (west) of the River Inniskeen,
see Section 4.2.3(1) and Figure 4.2.9.
(h) Outside of the Inniskeen AFA, there is considerable flooding between cross section 0613M01659 and
0613M0519 for events of 10% AEP or greater. Several properties including residential and agricultural are
at risk from flooding.
(i) Upstream of Knockbridge (0613M01031D), flooding occurs on both sides of the River Fane.
Agricultural buildings situated on the right bank of the river (west) are at risk of flooding during 10% AEP
fluvial event or greater. The downstream extent of flooding is restricted by the presence of Knockbridge
and the R171.
(j) At the downstream extent of the River Fane (0613M) model, flood extents indicate that a section of the
M1 motorway is at risk from flooding during 10% AEP events or greater.

The table above provides details of the flow in the model at HEP intermediate / check points. These
flows have been compared with the hydrology flow estimation and a percentage difference provided to
ensure anchoring of the model to estimated flows.
Note that the estimation of flows at HEP check points and their reliability are discussed in the
hydrology report IBE0700Rp0008_UoM06 Hydrology Report_F02 under Sections 4 and 5.
HEP 06_997_3_RA (Ch. 529m) is located at the downstream extent of the Inniskeen River (0614M)
where it joins the River Fane (0613M). Model check flows are less than check flows at all three % AEP
design events. There is a difference of -0.22%, -26.95% and -23.72% for the 10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP
fluvial scenarios respectively. This is attributed to the occurrence of upstream flooding in an around
the Inniskeen Glebe, particularly the site of Lisarolagh Fort. Outputs from the 1% and 0.1% AEP

design runs show the flow of flood waters into this area which is a relatively low-lying topographic
depression.
This flow attenuation is more accurately represented by hydraulic modelling than
hydrological estimation, so these differences during extreme design runs are reasonable.
HEP 06_345_1_RARPS (Ch. 463.5m) is at the downstream extent of the River Lannat, where it joins
the River Fane. There is a relatively small difference between estimated and model flows at the 10%
and 1% AEP levels, with a difference of -1.05% and -3.43%, respectively.
difference of -27.92% at the 0.1% AEP event.
However there is a
This is attributed to the presence of the culvert
(0615M00026I), see Section 4.2.3(1) and Figure 4.2.8. Simulation of the 0.1% AEP event shows that
the culvert restricts flow and out of bank flooding occurs resulting in a lower model flow downstream.
Intermediate HEP 06_92_1_RA on the River Fane (3132m) is located close to the Inniskeen River /
River Fane confluence. Model flow is higher than the hydrologically based estimates of flow at this
HEP illustrating a gain in model flow at this confluence which increases with flood event magnitude
(decreasing frequency). Model flow is 2%, 9.5% and 16% higher than estimated flow for the 10%, 1%
and 0.1% AEP events respectively.
The River Fane HEP 06_856_1_RA (chainage 3933m) is located near the downstream boundary of
the AFA. Model flow is higher than estimated flow with the difference increasing with flood event
magnitude, at 13.6%, 23% and 28% for the 10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP events, respectively. This HEP is
downstream from the point where the Millrace 0613B rejoins the River Fane (0613M). Gains in model
flow at the 1% & 0.1% AEP (>20%) are attributed to the flood waters greater than 10% AEP levels
'overtopping' the 'clay mound' located at the upstream end of (0613B) see Section 4.2.6(1)(a). This
Millrace (0613B) becomes active during a 1% and 0.1% AEP flooding event.
Intermediate HEP 06_856_5_RA is located along the MPW section of the River Fane (chainage
5895.35). Model flow is higher than estimated flow by 19%, 25% and 28% for the 10%, 1% and 0.1%
design events respectively.
This HEP is located approximately 300m upstream from structure
0613M01588D (Ch. 6227m, see Section 4.2.3(1), Figure 4.2.3(6)). The structure restricts flow causing
upstream build up which results in higher model flows at HEP node 06_856_5_RA, the effect of which
increases with event magnitude (decreasing frequency).
Intermediate HEP 06035_RA (Ch. 15740m) is located 200m upstream from Stephenstown Bridge
(0613M00702D) see 4.2.3(1) and Figure 4.2.13. Model flow is higher than estimated flow by 8%, 23%
and 33% for the 10%, 1% and 0.1% design events respectively. Again, this structure restricts flow
causing upstream build up which results in higher model flows at HEP node 06_856_5_RA, the effect
of which increases with event magnitude (decreasing frequency).
HEP 06_1093_D_RARPS is located at the downstream extent of the Inniskeen model and is subject to
tidal influence. A water level boundary was applied (see Section 4.2.3(6)) to reflect the tidal conditions
at this location. Discharge at this point in the model is a combination of fluvial and tidal components.
As a result, it is not possible to make a reliable comparison at this point as the hydrological estimates
only consider the fluvial component of flow.
