The NoFloods Flood Barrier can remain deployed and under load for an extended period. Here are the details:
- Longevity: The barrier’s design allows it to stay deployed for several days without issues. In construction scenarios, it has been tested under load for as long as +90 days during activities. In live flood cases, the barrier has been in contact with waterfor up to 7 dayswithout adverse effects. A UV resistant membrane is recommended for long term deployment.
- Recommended Inspections: Although the barrier is capable of extended deployment, it’s advisable to conduct regular inspections. During a live flood event, inspections should be conducted at least once a day. This ensures that the barrier remains effective and stable, addressing any concerns promptly.
- Monitoring and Warning Systems: To enhance monitoring, video surveillance and other mobile GSM-based warning systems for water levels are recommended. These technologies can provide real-time data and alerts, allowing for proactive management and response during prolonged deployments.
In essence, the NoFloods Flood Barrier’s robust design enables it to be deployed for extended periods, but regular inspections and monitoring are essential to maintain its effectiveness and stability over time.
