Situated along the Brisbane River, this riverfront office space is highly vulnerable to flooding during extreme weather events.
To safeguard the building and ensure business continuity, a comprehensive flood protection system has been supplied, featuring a range of ten demountable flood barriers custom-designed to protect critical areas of the building.
Demountable Flood Barriers provide a reliable defence against rising water levels and are designed for rapid, manual deployment. The barriers have been strategically placed to secure multiple entry and exit points, including external stairways, pump rooms, driveways, the basement, multiple lifts, a communications room, and bathroom areas.
Barrier sizes vary to accommodate different openings, from small doorways to large-scale areas spanning up to 7 meters wide and 2 meters high. To enhance structural integrity, centre posts and props were incorporated into the design of larger barriers or those expected to be exposed to significant water pressure, debris impact, and other forces. By implementing this advanced flood mitigation solution, the riverfront office is now significantly more resilient to potential flood risks. This proactive approach not only protects the physical infrastructure but also minimises disruptions to business operations, ensuring longterm security for occupants and stakeholders.
