UK Flood Defence Alliance has consulted in many industrial and commercial settings.
Swimming pool risk:
Financial Institution, Canary Wharf, London
A major financial institution in Canary Wharf approached us to protect their basement infrastructure from the threat of flood damage from a swimming pool located at the higher levels of their offices.
Our solution was 4 flood barriers fitted around their basement facilities to protect from the potential leakage from their swimming pools.

Keeping flood water out:
Textile Factory, Lancaster
UKFDA worked with an independent civil and structural engineering consultancy to advise on flood protection for a large textile company in Lancashire, which processes exclusive fabrics that are sourced from around the world.
In conjunction with the engineering consultants, a site survey was conducted and recommendations were made for the most appropriate ways to protect the site.
Eventually, the project included the installation of 20 demountable barriers and 9 flood doors at key locations at critical areas of the facility. 2 sets of bespoke steel flood gates to protect the perimeter; the construction of a perimeter flood wall and significant improvements to the drainage on site.
