The Story: Responding to a Growing Flood Crisis
Voss, Norway, known for its breathtaking landscapes and vibrant community, has faced severe and repeated flooding in recent years. With multiple floods exceeding the 20-year flood level, the town’s sportshall and cultural center—essential spaces for sports, arts, and events—were at serious risk.
Past floods had already caused disruptions and damage. Recognizing the urgent need for protection, local authorities partnered with AquaFence to implement a robust, rapid-deployment flood barrier system, ensuring these critical facilities remain operational despite extreme weather events.
The Challenge: Frequent Flooding Endangering Public Spaces
In just eight years, Voss experienced five major floods exceeding the 20-year flood level.
These repeated flooding events threatened the town’s cultural and recreational heart, demanding a proven, effective flood protection solution.
The Solution: AquaFence’s Advanced Flood Protection System
To ensure continuous protection against recurring floods, AquaFence delivered:
A high-performance flood barrier system, designed to withstand major flood events.
Custom-fitted protection for the sportshall and cultural center, ensuring seamless integration.
Fast and efficient deployment, allowing authorities to quickly respond to flood threats.
The Results: Securing Voss Against Future Floods
Since the installation of AquaFence’s flood barriers, the town of Voss now benefits from:
Reliable flood defense, keeping key public facilities safe from rising waters.
Rapid response capabilities, ensuring flood barriers are deployed quickly when needed.
Significant cost savings, preventing damage and expensive recovery efforts.
Long-term resilience, preserving Voss’s cultural and sports infrastructure for future generations.
With AquaFence in place, Voss is no longer at the mercy of extreme flooding—instead, it stands prepared and protected.
