The problem

Elevated Flood Control: Deploying Flap Gates for Efficient Water Management

In Halmstad, a fire training facility faced a pressing challenge: how to effectively and safely manage fire extinguishing water alongside rainwater. Firefighting efforts introduce various pollutants and hazardous substances into this water, posing a significant threat to the environment. Such contaminants can wreak havoc on ecosystems and water resources, necessitating strict control measures.

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (2017) emphasizes the importance of minimizing the release of fire extinguishing water into the environment due to its potentially detrimental impact. Thus, the facility sought a robust solution to prevent environmental damage caused by fire suppression water discharge. Our expertise proved invaluable in addressing this critical concern.
