The Solution to Flooding Worldwide
The NoFloods Mobile Barrier from Environment Solutions has gotten great attention due to the efficiency and ability for large-scale flood mitigation. They have reinvented the solution for flooding, based on a market driven and customer-oriented approach, and is today probably one of the strongest solutions for large-scale flood protection in terms of price and efficiency. The Scandinavian company is highly specialized within flood protection. Their purpose is to reduce potential devastations caused by flooding - the World's largest natural disaster.
NoFloods has invested actively in creating the world's most cost-effective solution for flood protection, and in deploying temporary reservoirs for storing rainwater, wastewater etc. Their products and solutions are based on more than 12 years experience of dealing with floods and natural disasters. "Over the past year, we have managed to create some new products that match the needs of a much wider audience within the target group of 'prevention' and 'damage control'. The Mobile
Flood Barriers is probably the most effective, cheapest and quickest temporary protection system in the world today. " says Anders Philipsen, CEO of NoFloods. The simplicity in the solution is the strength of the concept. As NoFloods says, "We fight water with water" and the simple technology makes it possible for every trained personnel to deploy. Based on a new approach to production of the mobile dam, NoFloods are now in a position where they outperform the traditional solutions with sandbags in large-scale protection in terms of; price, time of deployment, usability and now also at cost of materials.
Floods can be categorized into two namely natural floods and catastrophic floods. Natural floods take place when there is an overflow of water from oceans, lakes, rivers, heavy rains, tsunamis, and the like. The catastrophic flood occurs when unexpected or unanticipated incidents happen such as dam breakages or tsunamis and are usually with a deadly outcome.
The warning of a flood often comes only 48 hours before the flood hits the area. Therefore, the government need to have a short reaction time and an effective
Flood Protection.
