When it comes to protecting
property, infrastructure, the
environment and wildlife, few
things are as important as robust
flood controls. With global weather
growing more dramatic by the year
the stakes are higher – literally – for
IBS Engineering.
IBS teamed with Hardy Services to
install a set of bespoke, electricallyoperated flood gates at Dock Bridge
in Lythem, Lancashire. The new
penstocks were mounted on an
existing wall, replacing gates that
had been in place for a number of
years.
Founded in 1994, IBS began
providing spill barriers in its local
area. Twenty years later, the
company is one of the world’s
leading suppliers of demountable
flood protection systems. With
this growth, however, come new
challenges.
The existing walls were uneven
which meant the engineering team
had to create a custom solution
to create a watertight fit. A threeman team used a crane to lift the
penstocks into place then secured
them using clamps and fixings.
Despite the challenge of fitting to
the standing walls, the job was
completed on time and to the
satisfaction of the environment
agency.
Challenge
Placing flood control
solutions is a complex task
that can involve replacing or
modifying existing structures.
If installation fails there is
immanent danger of flood
damage to property, wildlife
and the environment.
Solution
Use Hardy Services resources
and engineering expertise to
complete the smooth, safe
installation of flood control
systems, ensuring both client
satisfaction and public safety.
