Flood Defence, Flood Protection, Flood Barriers and Temporary Flood BarriersGlobal warming and climate change are realities. With increasing frequency the media reports on the consequences – storms and floods of an unprecedented nature, even in regions that were previously considered safe. Research by the Inter-governmental Panel for Climate Change also suggests that extreme flood events will become more frequent. Flood Defence Systems are integral to an effective flood risk management strategy, despite an increasing move towards sustainable options, and indeed massive annual economic damages are avoided by the use of Flood Defence Systems. The demonstrable effectiveness of the engineered option will ensure that the increasing risk of coastal and inland flooding is kept in check. Whilst it is not possible to build defences against all flood risk, in particular permanent defence, other initiatives which can be used to limit the impact of floods include demountable flood defence systems. One such system which has been established in Germany for over 10 years is the BAUER-IBS Demountable Flood Defence System, for which BAUER Inner City Limited have been nominated as the sole agent for the system in the UK and Ireland.
Demountable Flood
Defence Systems are a new area of activity for Bauer
in the UK, providing a unique alternative solution
to traditional defence designs. The System has been used in over 300
locations around the world with complete success. Ductile Piles are
also a recent innovation, replacing traditional piling techniques and
allowing demonstrable time savings on site and a reduced overall project
cost.
