What better protection against water than – WATER!
Innovative flood protection:
NOAH HSW reservoir system
An effective early warning system is naturally a good thing. But the
top priority in the face of impending flood waters is the ability to
respond quickly and flexibly. The NOAH HSW reservoir system has
obvious advantages compared with conventional methods of
protection like sandbags. You would need 35,000 sandbags to
raise the height of a river bank by 1.25 metres along a section
measuring 100 metres. The immense costs incurred in these
situations cannot compare with the effective flood water protection
provided by NOAH HSW. In addition, filling and transporting
sandbags ties up manpower that may be urgently needed
elsewhere: a further time and money factor.
How to achieve more with less expense
A familiar saying in the fire-fighting services is "Four men, four
corners". It is very relevant to the innovative NOAH HSW reservoir
system: a few helpers can achieve better results in the same time,
including the transport operation. It also prevents the timeconsuming,
costly disposal process after the floods subside.
Specially designed, patented plastic reservoirs are joined together
to make a watertight barrier and their stability is guaranteed in the
simplest possible way: by filling them with flood water – a task
that the fire service, for instance,can perform. When the water
level drops again, the water from the reservoirs is simply
discharged as well. Far-sighted people invest in preventive flood
protection from NOAH – and achieve better results with less outlay
when urgent action is needed.
The advantages of the NOAH HSW patented mobile
reservoir system at a glance:
•
Rapid assembly and dismantling, thanks to Easy-up quick-action fasteners
•
Assembly principle is easy to understand; no tools or training needed
•
Only a small number of helpers required
•
Easy to transport
•
'Lotus effect' for easy cleaning
•
Water-tight to the highest standards
•
Extremely durable
•
Practically no ageing or corrosion, if correctly stored
•
Environmentally acceptable, food-safe and suitable for drinking water
•
Can be combined with all other NOAH systems
A firm barrier as floodwater rises.
Lightweight but extremely rigid, the reservoir elements are made of
environmentally-friendly, highly impact-resistant polyethylene, which is an
almost indestructible material. The seals at the base prevent water from seeping
through and increase the shearing strength.
The elements are aligned and connected together by Easy-up quickaction
fasteners to form a watertight barrier wall. A lip at the base and fold-in
support struts attached to the rear of each reservoir increase its stability. Pins
permanently attached to the reservoirs can be driven into the soil to provide a
firm base.
