Case Study: Flood Barriers (Paignton)

A Protective Solution for Two Icons: StormMeister® Rapid Assembly Flood Barriers

Flood protection against flooding and storm surges was required for the lower levels of the new Mercure and Ibis Hotels in Paignton. The designers specified flood barriers that were suitable for rapid deployment AND resistant to flood heights and storm surges of 1.8 metres. The designers contacted several flood protection companies, and StormMeister® was the only company able to provide flood barriers to the required specification.

Protecting What Matters: Lower-level Car Parking, Air Conditioning, Water Treatment and Electrical Installations

Flood barriers were required as the first line of defence against flooding and storm surges, critical not only to protect hotel guests’ cars but essential services such as air conditioning, water treatment and electrical installations. To ensure complete protection, StormMeister® Rapid Assembly Flood Barriers were rigorously tested to simulated flood heights of 1.8 metres.  StormMeister® won the contract against stiff competition, their Rapid Assembly Flood Barriers were the only flood barriers able to meet the required specification to protect all lower entrances against floodwater and tidal surges.

Quality Assurance: Completing the Mission.

As construction of the hotels progressed, the leaves changed and the cool winds of autumn swept through Paignton, the StormMeister team swung into action. Their Rapid Assembly Flood Barriers were meticulously installed to match the season’s rhythm.
