Through a series of projects, we designed, manufactured, and installed over 300 meters of customised, demountable flood barriers, engineered to withstand water pressures up to 3.40 meters. Each installation was tailored to meet the unique requirements of Paris\u2019 urban environment, preserving the aesthetic and structural integrity of the city\u2019s treasured architecture and infrastructure.&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:div|font_size:18|text_align:justify|color:%23555555&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1730820342275{margin-top: 25px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;our_services_heading1&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6249&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; gap=&#8221;25&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1718266383635{background-color: #f5f5f5 !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;754&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1730884302626{margin-top: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Challenge: Adapting Flood Protection to Diverse Sites and Structures in an Urban Environment&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%232c34a4&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1730820413514{margin-top: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1730884469960{margin-top: 5px !important;margin-bottom: 24px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This multi-phase project posed significant challenges due to the diversity of sites and structural complexities:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>High Pressure and Concealed Fixations:<\/strong> Key transit areas, such as a 17-meter bridge, required barriers that could withstand 100 tons of water pressure while allowing normal vehicle access.
