At UMK, a location known for its recurring flood risks, a proactive solution has been implemented to safeguard the premises. A total of 11 FloodPanel Pro units have been strategically installed across the external openings, forming a continuous line of defence against rising water levels. These barriers are designed to intercept and contain floodwater at the perimeter, preventing it from entering critical internal areas.
With the FloodPanel PRO system in place, floodwater is effectively held back on the outside, while the interior remains dry and protected. This deployment not only enhances the site’s resilience during heavy rainfall events but also ensures operational continuity and safety for occupants, demonstrating a practical and reliable approach to flood mitigation.
