The Story: Protecting Vital Infrastructure in a Coastal Town
Mandal, Norway, a picturesque coastal town, has faced increasing flood risks due to rising water levels and extreme weather events. One of its underground garages, essential for both residents and businesses, was particularly vulnerable to flooding. Recognizing the need for proactive protection, the property owners turned to AquaFence for a custom flood defense solution that would keep vehicles and infrastructure safe during heavy rainfall and storm surges.
The Challenge: Rising Water Threatening Underground Parking
Located near the coast, the garage faced:
High flood risk due to storm surges and heavy rain.
Vulnerable entry points where water could enter and cause significant damage.
Need for a quick and reliable flood defense without major structural modifications.
The Solution: AquaFence’s Rapid-Deployment Flood Protection
To effectively protect the underground garage, AquaFence provided:
20 linear feet of V1200 (4’) FloodWalls, securing all vulnerable egress points.
A flexible, integrated flood defense system, ensuring smooth deployment and removal.
Minimal impact on daily operations, allowing for full use of the garage when not in use.
The Results: Flood Protection with Peace of Mind
With AquaFence in place, the underground garage in Mandal now benefits from:
Reliable flood mitigation, preventing costly damage to vehicles and property.
Fast and easy deployment, allowing staff to respond immediately to flood threats.
Significant cost savings, reducing the risk of water damage and downtime.
Now, even in the face of extreme weather, Mandal’s underground garage remains secure, dry, and operational.
