Scentre Group Chooses Flood Barriers from Flooding Solutions

Integrating flood barriers early on in the planning stage for flood protection is an important part of an efficient risk management measure for architects and building designers.

The prevalence of flooding in the country leaves the residents and businesses vulnerable, especially since the most populated Australian cities are located near riverbanks and coastlines. Following the awareness of the impacts of climate change, property developers must meet stringent consent authority requirements to minimise flood damage, which can include strategically placed flood protection devices.

With years of expertise and equipped with the latest technology to develop flood barriers that integrate well into the building design, Flooding Solutions Advisory Group leads the way in delivering an ideal solution for every flooding concern, including redevelopment projects. Flooding Solutions give valuable input regarding identifying flood risks and how to meet the council regulations.

Specifiers involved in the multi-million dollar revamp of the Westfield Warringah Mall sought the advice of Flooding Solutions Advisory Group in designing and incorporating different types of flood barriers into the already built shopping centre without compromising its façade and structure.

As with any redevelopment project, there were problems and issues to address. Flooding Solutions was presented with a number of physical and geographical constraints to consider in determining the most appropriate type of flood barriers to use in each location.
