Other Major Flood Mitigation Projects
- IBWC Rio Grande Flood Control Project – TX. FloodBreak is providing multiple roadway floodgates as part of the Levee Rehabilitation in the Upper & Lower Rio Grande Valley, helping bring the levees into compliance with FEMA accreditation.
- MD Anderson Cancer Center – Houston, TX. In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Allison, MD Anderson undertook a flood mitigation project that included a floodwall and 25 passive floodgates from FloodBreak.
- Columbus Regional Hospital – Columbus, IN. An unprecedented flash flood caused severe flood damage and forced evacuation of the hospital in 2008. A FEMA funded floodwall with 13 passive FloodBreak floodgates was installed to protect the hospital from future flood events.
- University of Colorado – Boulder, CO. Frequent flash flooding has created the need to install automatic floodgates from FloodBreak at numerous locations across the campus. FloodBreak gates were selected because they are passive which means they don’t need human intervention to deploy, and they remain hidden unless flooding occurs.
