Flood-resilient assets and facilities

Make facilities, utilities and assets water-resistant.

• Applicable to utilities, products, goods, factories and installations;
• Spatial adaptation;
• Permanent measure;
• Substantial investment;
• Prevents economic and environmental damage;
• Applicable at all flood depths.

When buying or building new assets in a flood zone, opt for flood-resilient products or materials. Products or assets must be able to cope with water pressure. Flood-resilient products should be cleaned after a flood.

Position installations above the water level and use flood-resilientmaterials for assets. Pipes that are heavier or firmly mounted are less likely to float during flooding.

Appliances in rooms that may be inundated should be connected to a separate group in the fuse box. You can turn off that group in the event of a flood.
