When Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida, Flood Risk America / Flood Response Assistance (FRA) prevented elevator flooding in several major buildings with temporary flood barriers. FRA was able to safeguard a major hospital, condo buildings, and several businesses across Florida from catastrophic flooding.
With the growing impacts of climate change, the risk of flooding has significantly increased, making elevator pits, parking garages, and basements particularly vulnerable. Elevator pits are typically the lowest point in a building, making them prone to flooding.
Elevator Flood Protection
When a storm begins to roll in, elevators need to be protected as floodwaters can permanently damage equipment. Some insurance companies will not pay the entire claim if the client does not send the elevator cab to the second level, leaving the building and business out of service.
As a leading provider of elevator flood protection, FRA helps property managers, building engineers, and facility managers around the world protect their essential equipment from the damaging impact of floods. Even one inch of water can result in damages that cost thousands of dollars to repair or replace.
FRA’s FEMA-compliant flood panels are designed for quick installation and removal, taking just minutes to set up without complicated tools. They are lightweight and built with advanced technology from the aerospace and military sectors.
Flood Barrier Deployment Services
FRA’s team worked overtime before Hurricane Milton hit ground, deploying flood panels for their client’s properties to prepare for the storm. These panels are custom-made to fit each property and various applications, including doors, windows, mechanical rooms, and elevators.
