Local Authorities Flood Defences & Flood Barriers
Fluvial Innovations works closely with local authorities to ensure appropriate flood defences are in place whenever a flood warning arises.
When flood warnings are issued, speed is the key. The responsibility to act often falls to local authorities and their emergency planning department to try to ensure that there is adequate flood protection to keep their communities safe.
That’s where FLOODSTOP can offer massive benefits over traditional sandbag methods. FLOODSTOP barrier can be easily and rapidly assembled, and because each of the 0.5m system’s components complies with health and safety lifting regulations, they can be deployed by one person. The 0.9m system can be quickly deployed by a team of two people.
Unlike sandbags, FLOODSTOP flood protection barriers can be used time and again, meaning they are extremely economical.
FLOODSTOP has been sold to local authorities and government bodies throughout the UK, including Hampshire County Council, Stafford Borough Council, Scottish Borders and The Environment Agency. The system provides a real solution to the struggles that emergency planners face when dealing with flood prevention issues. '
