Proper storage is vital to maintaining the condition and effectiveness of the Flood Barrier components. Here are guidelines to ensure appropriate storage:
- Dam Material and Equipment: All components, including dam material and other equipment, should be stored indoors, preferably under a roof. Ensure that the storage area is secure, dry, and devoid of exposure to direct sunlight, maintaining optimal conditions for preserving the integrity of the materials.
- Customized Containers: If the components are delivered in customized containers, these containers should remain secured and unopened for storage. This safeguards the components within their original protective packaging.
- Unpackaged Equipment: Equipment not delivered in containers should also be stored indoors, away from UV light and in a dark and dry environment. Direct sunlight exposure should be avoided to prevent degradation.
- Couplings: Couplings should be stored on pallets, and equipped with protective rubber, clamps, and fittings properly installed. This ensures that the units remain complete and readily operational when needed.
- Machinery and Electrical Equipment: Machinery and electrical components should be stored following the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure their longevity and operational readiness.
By adhering to these storage guidelines, you’ll maintain the condition of the Flood Barrier components, safeguarding their effectiveness and performance over time. Proper storage is an investment in the system’s durability and reliability.
