FLOOD PREVENTION for commercial properties from small offices to large manufacturing plants, warehouses and business parks can all benefit from the use of temporary and demountable flood protection barriers from our partners.
We can supply a range of barriers from a single door size up to and including the entire perimeter of a business park and every shape and size of opening in between.
Commercial and retail properties offer a number of unique challenges when it comes to flood protection solutions as building types can vary greatly.
Openings tend to be wider than residential properties and it is often desirable to gain access to the property for as long as possible up to the flood event.
FLOOD PREVENTION
Our range of flood prevention solutions is therefore very broad from a simple clip-on cover to in-situ barriers that can be raised by hand or pneumatic pump or dropped down from on high.
Fire escape doors are often a requirement too which offer their own particular challenges.
Underground flooding needs to be considered as with residential properties as it is more likely to find toilets on the ground floor level so the introduction of one or more non-return valves is essential in most applications.
The unique Flusher/NRV helps to address the issue of all the fats, oils and greases (FOG) we all put down the drains which are the cause of over 75% of all sewer flooding in the UK today.
Wide-area flood prevention solutions such as Rapidam and hinged gates can protect external areas such as power plants and storage tanks and these can often be deployed in conjunction with hard landscaping through one of our civil engineering contractors.
Many industrial and warehouse buildings these days are made of a simple metal frame and cladding construction. Great if you are not in a flood plain but as good as a leaky sieve if you are. A simple plinth wall may be the solution here whether as part of the building or a new walkway all the way around with a temporary demountable barrier for pedestrian &/or vehicular access. Other solutions may include a spray on external render such as Polyprufe™ depending on any aesthetic issues.
