Flood Protection
Methods to reduce disruption and damage caused through flooding have significantly
changed over the past few years from a worldwide strategy of flood defence to one
of flood risk management.
Where appropriate, the use of flood defences and flood protection are included within
Flood risk management solutions which also recognise ‘managed flooding’ as essential
to meeting goals for biodiversity and to sustain good ecological status in river and
coastal systems.
With the advancement of climate change, communities shall become increasingly resilient
to river and coastal flooding through the development of strategies to reduce negative
impacts of flooding. These strategies may include the installation of flood protection
solutions designed and installed to protect property and the environment.
Hydrok UK Ltd is committed to a development program of engineered flood protection
solutions for private and commercial applications. Over recent years the Hydrok portfolio
of water control technologies has developed into a range of solutions which may be
used as stand alone or combined in order to achieve the required protection, storage
and flow regulation of storm water flows.
The Stoplog and HydroGuard systems are
examples of solutions installed within potential
flood prone areas in readiness to divert water flows away from exposed areas. The
HydroSlide and ElectroSlide flow regulators may
be also incorporated into flood management systems to store water within existing
networks away from the flood plain utilizing existing pipe networks.
