Supermarket protected by The Flood Company solution
Supermarket stock and equipment has been protected from future flood events with flood barriers from The Flood Company.
The Asda supermarket in Rochdale had suffered from multiple flood events in recent years. To the south of the building a number of vents and doors were exposed, and with high value items it was crucial to prevent future flood events.
The Flood Company installed flood barriers on a number of louvre vents, and doors to reduce the flood risk. Due to the level of flood risk, the barriers needed to be 1.6m high.
A range of widths was required, therefore demountable posts were required to create a flood wall in front of a number of vents and doors.
The Buffalo Flood Barrier is a demountable flood barrier system, which means in normal conditions the vents are open with no obstruction in front. In a flood risk event, the demountable system can be quickly installed to protect key assets within the supermarket. The system can be installed in less than 10 minutes with two men.
