Australia is known for its vast landscape and uniquely diverse terrain. From the arid outback to the snow-capped mountains and heavily populated coastal cities, Australia offers incredible natural variety. However, these distinct weather conditions and varied geography also naturally lead to environmental challenges that can result in disasters like flooding.
Environmental predictions show that as global warming continues to raise the average temperature, the frequency of extreme rainfall will also continue to increase, causing further flooding incidents.
In 2019, prolonged rainfall in Queensland caused the most severe flooding event in the last 50 years. Flood protection measures such as flood barriers are fast becoming essential, proactive measures to ensure the safety of your home or business.
While this sounds foreboding, solutions are at hand! With foresight and planning, Australians can protect and safeguard against the potentially devastating effects of flood damage.
The engineering and technology needed to implement preventative measures and emergency situations already exist. Whether a permanent flood protection barrier or temporary levee is needed, Geodesign offers robust solutions that are easy to install and maintain.
Manufactured in Sweden, using only the highest quality steel, Geodesign has been refining flood barriers for over 25 years. When it comes to flood control in Australia, you can have peace of mind in terms of property and human protection.
Australia already has a temperamental climate that’s subject to both extreme heat and rainfall, as well as global warming consequences that only intensify the frequency and impact of destructive weather events.
To combat these threats, Geodesign has manufactured flood protection solutions designed to hold up in fluctuating conditions.
Just one successful example of proactive flood protection was the Geodesign temporary levee that was swiftly installed in the major Charleville flooding incident, which prevented widespread devastation to human lives and property damage in low-lying areas.
The full Geodesign catalogue offers elemental, industrial, and heavy-duty options, boasting a total of 11 models that offer a vast range of protection from flooding events.
