The Lisbon Drainage Master Plan is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at transforming the Portuguese capital’s resilience to flooding, while simultaneously integrating innovative environmental solutions and advanced technology. Led by a dedicated team, with key experts such as BIM manager Tiago Andrade Gomes, the project tackles Lisbon’s long history of devastating floods. Occurring as recently as 2022, these floods have caused significant damage, both in terms of lives lost and economic impact—losses from the most recent flood amounted to nearly 50 million euros.
