The Story: A Proactive Solution for Water Management
In Kongsberg, Norway, controlled dam releases are essential for managing water flow, but they pose a serious risk of erosion and infrastructure damage. To mitigate this challenge, local authorities sought a reliable flood protection system that could effectively divert fast-moving water and minimize erosion in vulnerable areas.
AquaFence was selected to deliver a high-performance water diversion system, engineered to withstand the intense flow and force of dam releases.
The Challenge: Preventing Erosion from Powerful Water Releases
High water velocity during dam releases posed a risk of ground erosion and structural damage.
A durable yet temporary solution was needed to withstand the force of the water while allowing for flexible deployment.
A system that could be quickly installed and removed depending on water release schedules.
The Solution: AquaFence Water Diversion System
AquaFence provided 36 linear feet of V1800 (6’) FloodWall, specifically deployed to:
Redirect water flow, minimizing direct impact on vulnerable areas.
Reduce erosion, protecting the surrounding environment and infrastructure.
Ensure rapid deployment and removal, allowing for flexibility based on dam operations.
The Results: Controlled Water Flow, Reduced Erosion
Effective erosion prevention, safeguarding the surrounding landscape.
Quick deployment, ensuring adaptability to changing water levels.
A practical, long-term solution for water management and flood mitigation.
