The Story: Securing Key Facilities with Rapid-Deploy Flood Barriers

At a secure U.S. government facility, flood protection was essential to safeguard critical infrastructure and maintain operational readiness. Two identical buildings containing vital systems were identified as vulnerable to flooding, posing potential risks to both assets and continuity of operations.

To address this challenge, AquaFence was selected to deliver a reliable, quickly deployable flood barrier solution. The facility required a system that could be installed rapidly by a small team, without compromising security or daily activities. AquaFence’s V1800 (6') FloodWalls were chosen to provide complete perimeter protection, ensuring uninterrupted function even during severe weather events.

The Challenge: Ensuring Protection Without Operational Impact

Key requirements included:

Full perimeter protection for two identical, high-importance structures.
Fast deployment capability in emergency scenarios.
Minimal disruption to ongoing operations and security protocols.

The Solution: Efficient, Scalable Flood Defense

AquaFence delivered a solution tailored for the facility’s needs:

400 linear feet of V1800 (6') FloodWalls were installed to provide comprehensive flood protection around both buildings.
Two teams of four personnel successfully deployed the barriers in about two hours, showcasing the system’s speed and ease of use.
Quick setup and removal enabled full flood readiness while maintaining normal operations.

The Results: Proven Flood Protection with Operational Efficiency

Complete perimeter protection for essential infrastructure, safeguarding assets and personnel from flood risks.
Rapid deployment ensured immediate response capability with minimal manpower.
Seamless integration with existing site procedures, preserving full operational capacity.
Strengthened resilience and preparedness for future extreme weather events.

AquaFence’s flexible, fast-deploy flood protection system has become an integral part of the facility’s resilience strategy — delivering reliable defense with minimal disruption.
