The Story: Flood Protection for Essential Infrastructure in Fort Smith, Arkansas
In Fort Smith, Arkansas, protecting vital public infrastructure from flooding is a top priority. A key municipal pump station, responsible for managing stormwater and maintaining local flood control, faced recurring threats from rising water levels during severe weather. To ensure uninterrupted operations, the city turned to AquaFence for a fast, reliable flood protection system designed to secure the facility when it matters most.
The Challenge: Preventing Water Ingress at a Critical Facility
The Fort Smith pump station had specific challenges:
A vulnerable entry area where floodwaters could impact equipment and disrupt operations.
A need for rapid deployment during emergency conditions.
Limited space for permanent structures, requiring a flexible and efficient solution.
The Solution: Quick-Deploy AquaFence FloodWalls
To meet these needs, AquaFence provided a custom-engineered, easy-to-install solution:
20 linear feet of V1200 (4’) FloodWalls, precisely fitted to protect the pump station’s main access point.
A lightweight, modular design that can be deployed rapidly without permanent modifications.
A four-person team capable of setting up the full system in just 15 minutes, ensuring immediate readiness.
The Results: Reliable Flood Protection in Minutes
Enhanced flood resilience, keeping the pump station fully operational during heavy rain and high-water events.
Ultra-fast deployment, allowing teams to respond quickly when flood threats emerge.
Cost-effective protection, reducing the risk of damage, downtime, and emergency repairs.
By integrating AquaFence’s rapid-deploy flood barrier system, Fort Smith has strengthened its stormwater infrastructure and improved community resilience — ensuring critical services remain protected, even during the most severe weather events.
