Flood Mitigation & Prediction

In the face of climate change we are experiencing more extreme rainfall causing disruptions and flood damage to private property and businesses. According to government research European flooding costs could increase almost five-fold by 2050 unless we take proactive measures. Thankfully, there are many flood preventative steps we can take to ensure our cities and urban areas remain safe and liveable for current and future generations.

Managing rainwater for Flood Prevention

What a lot of people don’t realize, is once installed, an effective rainwater management system won’t cost you anything to maintain and can save you a lot of hassle and money in the long run. Furthermore, it’s never too late to install.

Pipelife’s stormwater management systems can be customized to meet various requirements and installed in multiple layouts and complex structures. Similar to Lego, all components fit into a comprehensive system, which is adaptable in size, volume and number.

More safety and capacity at less cost

In order to accommodate heavier rainfalls, instead of investing in the extension or enlargement of stormwater or combined sewage systems, it is often more cost-effective and safer to install an underground stormwater storage system, which can trap rainwater before it reaches the sewer systems. In this way, you have a bigger safety margin to cope with large volumes of rainwater and prevent flooding in a short period of time.

A modular system, such as Pipelife's stormwater management system, fits in almost any layout and structure and can accommodate any required capacity size.

Prevent flooding with warning systems

With a remote monitoring system that provides real time data, you have access to essential information so you can take the right course of action to mitigate potential flood damage to your property and surrounding areas.

Furthermore, gone are the days of having to send someone to check on your stormwater system. With advanced maintenance warnings, your monitoring system tells you exactly when it needs a check up.
