On Memorial Day 2015, 3000 Post Oak’s garage completely flooded due to high rainfall. The building’s tenant, Bechtel Engineering, reached out to FloodBreak to find a permanent flood proofing solution.
The solution included 4 vehicle gates and 1 pedestrian gate to protect their garage, including one large gate at the entrance to the building’s loading dock. Before installation was completed, another flood event occurred on Tax Day. Despite this, the floodgate deployed properly and protected the garage.
During Hurricane Harvey in 2017, all 5 gates came up to successfully protect the property from flood damage.
