- Full Description
-
A German SME active in the field of flood protection has developed a flexible flood protection wall that serves as a security solution against flooding.
These flexible flood protection walls are virtually invisible since they are stored in a concrete channel which is integrated in pavement or similar. It can be built up as required in order to protect against floods and be stored in the concrete channel after use. Since the flood protection wall is stored permanently at the place of use, the wall is ready to use at any time. The wall can be built-up quickly and self-sufficiently without any required machinery or tools by all kind of weather by just one person.
The protection height of the walls can be selected individually (between 60 - 400 cm). Statics can be adapted to local conditions as well as to customers' requirements. The flood protection wall has been proved and extensively tested in cooperation with a university and is certified concerning accepted standards. The wall is protected by patents and is already on the market. It has won a resource efficiency award.
In order to open up new markets, the SME is looking for distribution services partners in Italy and France. The partner should be well connected in the market for flood protection solutions and be familiar with specific regulations that prevail in the respective country or region. The partner would work in close collaboration with the German Company It would be desirable that the partner provides services such as installation and maintenance on site. - Advantages and Innovations

In comparison to other flood protection solutions, this protection wall
• is available in a ready mode directly at the place of use, hence no storage or logistic costs arise
• is stable and redundant against the impact of flotsam – even in case of huge damages at the wall, the protection system does not collapse
• is self-sufficient without loose components – no aids like sand or items like screws are needed
• is of longer duration since the wall has a robust high-tech tarpaulin consisting of hot-dip galvanized steel and stainless steel. Damages on the wall can be fixed and components can be changed even during the flood. - Stage of Development
