Integration and foundation
When the flood barriers need to be implemented on long stretches, intermediate support I-beams will be used. These parts are critical because they will have to absorb most of the (water) stress which subsequently, is applied to the I-beam base. The methodology for fixing the beams is crucial due to the multiplier effect of large loads applied in given situations.
Therefore anchorage of the fixation base plate or housing must be sized following a precise strength calculation.
Generally, the ground below flood barriers is not able to withstand the high stress lead through the barrier (I-beams) to the ground anchorage housing. Then a foundation with R-bars must be built to counterbalance the water pressure.
Our long experience and collaborative efforts will assist you in finding the right solution.
