AWMA uses AI technology to improve public safety during the operation of automated flood barriers, such as deploying large hydraulically actuated tilting flood barriers.
In Australia, floods rank as the most economically challenging natural disaster, averaging $8.8 billion annually (as of 2017) when considering insured, tangible and intangible costs. Additionally, many asset owners face challenges in obtaining adequate insurance coverage, magnifying the social and economic impacts of flood events.
AWMA provides a variety of flood barriers tailored to safeguard properties from flood and storm water intrusion. When required, AWMA’s in-house team can provide design support to ensure the product delivered will be engineered to withstand site specifications regarding flood water height, debris loading, deployment times etc.
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.
