Permanent Flood Protection for Cultural Institutions
FloodBreak’s passive automatic flood barriers provide permanent 24/7 flood protection to museums, libraries, and related cultural facilities without the need for human intervention or power. Protecting these important cultural institutions and their valuable assets without relying on facility personnel to deploy flood protection devices is a big relief.
FloodBreak barriers can be used to protect building entrances, loading docks, parking garages or as closure devices in perimeter floodwalls. As with all FloodBreak passive systems, these automatic flood barriers do not impede access and remain open until an actual flood event. FloodBreak protects 24/7.
Building aesthetics are important and project teams often select architectural treatments to match the flood barrier surfaces to the surrounding area. Building occupants and visitors will hardly notice the gates that are protecting the vulnerable openings.
