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.

FCI Registered on Achilles Database

Flood Control International is now registered as a supplier on the Achilles UVDB database.  The areas of Quality, Environment and Health and Safety are all assessed and scored giving clients ready information as to our performance in these three key areas.  Our scores achieved were all between 89% and 92% and our certification is an endorsement of the professional attitude that underpins Flood Control International's operations.

Flood Control International’s flood barriers were out in New York, protecting against Sandy

Flood Control International's demountable flood barrier installation at 350 West Broadway was commented on by the Core77 Blog, entitled 'Three Types of Flood Barriers – From Sad to Serious'.

Our flood barriers were the Serious variety.

Our thoughts go to all those affected by Sandy, and we hope that life can return to normal as quickly as possible.

The flood barriers also featured in Treasure & Bond's own website here.

Demountable Flood Barrier and Postie doing their jobs

Some four years ago, Flood Control installed a demountable flood barrier in Bosham, West Sussex.  The recent 5m spring tides required their use for the first time.  The flood barriers were erected easily and did their job perfectly:

Mr Gullen, the customer, said, "Thanks for designing and building something that really works."  Our thanks to Mr Gullen for sending us the photograph.

Flood Control International’s slot-in demountable flood barrier system is able to protect against flood depths of up to 4m as standard.  The modular components, simplicity of design and aluminium beams with ergonomically positioned carrying handles enable the system to be easily and quickly erected - without the need for special skills or training. 

Lift-Hinged Floodgates for River Dodder Flood Defence scheme in Dublin

Flood Control International recently supplied aluminium lift-hinged flood gates to Dublin’s Office of Public Works for installation in a new flood wall protecting the city from flooding by the River Dodder.

The gates were chosen due to their operability and because they do not need a step or ramp and so can be used in public areas where disabled access is required.  The gates are fitted with fully enclosed seals and operating mechanisms to prevent vandalism and mis-use.
