Structural flood management (i.e.: flood control) is the reduction of the effects of a flood using physical solutions, such as reservoirs, levees, dredging and diversions. Non-structural flood management includes land-use planning, advanced warning systems and flood insurance.
Our technical specialists and engineers produce custom-designed flood defences, including flood barriers, flood gates, flood doors and equipment for chemical spill containment. Our flood control systems are installed throughout the world, from New York to California and from London to Brisbane.
Flood control is the collection of methods used to reduce or prevent damage from floodwaters. It includes everything from massive concrete dams to simple changes in how land is used, and most modern flood management combines several approaches at once.
Furthermore, visual representations like the one above help us fully grasp the concept of Flood Control Systems.
Information and resources on how green infrastructure can help mitigate flooding.
With flood control, failure is not an option. Countless lives and livelihoods depend on it. Whether its the daily security of a major city or the ongoing reclamation of a nations low country, Flowserve equipment and application expertise puts you in control.
