Flood Barriers in Hong Kong - Contract award for Flood Control International

Flood Control International (FCI) has been awarded a contract to supply the Flood Protection Scheme at Tai O in Hong Kong.  FCI was fully involved in the design stages to advise and ensure that the civil elements would fit perfectly with the flood barriers.  Bespoke storage trolleys have been designed to fit underneath planters adjacent to the flood wall to allow for speedy erection and to prevent potential access issues with the small and sometimes congested roads around the protected area.

Utility Sites protected from flooding

Flood Control International has recently protected a number of water and power company sites with a variety of flood barriers, floodgates and flood doors and for a number of customers. Solutions have included pivoting flood barriers for a water treatment site, combination floodgates to protect vehicle accesses up to 7m wide for substations, and flood doors to ensure permanent flood protection to building openings that also need to be kept secure.

Flood barriers for utility sites need to be totally dependable, as the sites are often unmanned yet are vital to a local area’s ability to function during and recover after flood events.

Our flood defences are now specified by the majority of power distribution companies and water companies across the UK, and abroad.
