In partnership with Narrabri Shire Council, AWMA recently delivered an innovative flood protection solution for The Crossing Theatre – a vital community hub for events in the local area.
FloodFree Demountable Barriers are a simple product, manually deployed to protect areas from flood and stormwater intrusion.
Made from marine-grade aluminium, these barriers are ‘retro-fit’; designed to fit around existing infrastructure, such as doorways, loading docks, stairwells and parking entrances. Permanent sill plates were used in areas with an aggregate concrete finish or uneven surfaces, while end frames and covers were designed to fit around circular concrete columns.
Narrabri Shire Council’s Capital Works Coordinator – Property, Graham Richardson said “AWMA’s flood protection system has provided us with peace of mind, knowing that we can offer the community a meeting and entertainment venue that is no longer threatened by flood events, or subsequent downtime usually required for the clean-up”.
“We are relieved to know that if the barrier does need to be deployed, it is a low-fuss, straightforward process that one or two of our staff can do - allowing the show to go on!”.
One of the main benefits of the Demountable FloodFree Barrier System is the ability for them to be deployed by a single person, which according to Narrabri Shire Council, is exactly what was needed at the local entertainment precinct.
