Entry Flood Barriers for Parramatta Square by Flooding Solutions

Flooding Solutions' innovative flood barriers were specified by builders, Built-Obayashi for the protection of Parramatta Square. In this case, it was vital the architects and engineers met stringent DA consent conditions, particularly when protecting the many entrances of this premium office space from inundation by water. Ultimately, they chose Flooding Solutions for their custom design, supply, and install of flood barriers, backed by their unrivalled experience in the industry.

Deemed to be the future second heart of Sydney, Parramatta Square comprises a multi-million-dollar urban renewal project. It will offer prime commercial office space and multi-level retail plus civic facilities. Flooding Solutions were involved in phases three through six and eight of the development, working with Built-Obayashi designers to innovate flood barriers to suit.

It is expected the three-hectare Parramatta Square will host up to 290,000m2 of commercial space and 25,000 workers. With this in mind, Flooding Solutions custom entry flood barriers not only need to be effective at preventing floodwater ingress, but must be installed out of sight and out of mind when not in use. Ultimately, Flooding Solutions installed automated drop-down barriers for deployment from above lift doors, below-floor pop-up barriers to protect escalators, and sliding barriers concealed in wall cavities to bar doors.
