With a long history of hurricanes and storm surge, the project team needed a solution that could help protect a parking garage area while supporting the architectural and operational goals of the redevelopment. Below-grade parking made flood protection an especially important design consideration, shaped by FEMA, ASCE 24, and building code requirements.
FloodBreak was selected by the design team because our passive flood protection is always ready — while remaining virtually hidden within the driveway ramp. The result is reliable 24/7 flood protection that preserves full vehicular access – without the need for human intervention or external power.
