The LAMEEKEEP
® Modular Flood Barrier
System is designed to provide a high quality, well engineered and heavy
duty, flood protection product that can be rapidly deployed and consists
of a permanently installed stainless steel wet-sump enclosure with
hinged horizontal top panels secured against unauthorised access with a
dust-resistant locking device, the sump enclosure housing a
high-performance epdm membrane fitted with watertight side zips, with
hi-tech bonded and double-sewn joints for long-term security, which can
be quickly deployed when the barrier is activated and being clamped and
sealed to the lower edge of the casing, the open barrier panels being
pressed against vertical edge seals located in lockable cassettes, the
cassettes providing protection against damage and/or interference with
the seals when not in the active position, the barrier panels having a
specially developed and independently tested and certified non-slip
pattern, using
LAMEEKAM® art
metal technology, the pattern being in the form of a company logo, or
other distinctive device or customised graphic, either as a raised
pattern (appliqué) or as an imprinted pattern (reversé), the patterns
being available in a standard grey RAL 7005 and a wide range of
alternative colours, the system being available for a range of flood
exclusion depths subject always to verification of the stability and
structural strength of the surrounding building construction and of the
ability of the structure to resist the hydraulic pressure from
floodwater, with three standard flood exclusion depths of 500 mm, 700 mm
and 900 mm and custom assemblies for barriers exceeding 900 mm subject
to special design verification, it being recommended that, when
structures are checked for stability, the survey should include
identification of secondary paths for the potential ingress of
floodwater including, but not exclusively, side and rear doors,
air-bricks, drains, structural cracks, unrendered and porous walls, and
floor constructions, the installed barrier in conjunction with measures
to prevent ingress by secondary paths being intended to exclude
contaminated floodwater and debris and to limit seepage through the
barrier to a zero target and at worst a flowrate not exceeding 5-10
litres/hour, being a seepage rate which can be controlled by manual
means.
