AWMA provides a variety of flood barriers tailored to safeguard properties from flood and storm water intrusion. With an increase in flood mitigation projects, and more and more flood barriers being installed in public spaces, there have been significant design considerations around the safe operation of flood barriers.
AWMA uses AI technology to improve public safety during the operation of automated flood barriers, such as deploying large hydraulically actuated tilting flood barriers.
The FloodFree Hydraulic Tilting Flood Barrier can be deployed manually via push-button control, or automatically using sensors calibrated to a preset water level. Once activated an audible alarm sounds and strobe lights flash.
Dual acting hydraulic cylinders then raise the flood barrier. The ‘smart’ controls use AI cameras to monitor the barrier and surrounding areas during deployment. If a person, animal or vehicle is detected in the immediate vicinity while the barrier is operating, deployment will cease, continuing only when the area is clear. Once closed, it remains flood free until manually reset via push-button control.
This is demonstrated in the video on this page.
Pictured is a FloodFree Powered Tilting Barrier measuring 5500mm wide x 2600mm high, protecting a government building to a flood level height of 2.5m.
This video demonstrates how the ‘smart’ controls use AI cameras to monitor the barrier and surrounding areas during deployment. If a person, animal or vehicle is detected in the immediate vicinity while the FloodFree Hydraulic Tilting Flood Barrier is operating, deployment will cease, continuing only when the area is clear.
