#1 | Fire extinguishing waters – Sloping Ground

How to contain large volumes on sloping ground?

  1. 360° study. It must be ensured that all the contaminated water can be recovered, as far as possible from the buildings, without hindering the action of the emergency services.
  2. Gravity flow: it is the topography and the rainwater networks that will make it possible to identify the flood zones.
  3. Retention volume: the heights and length of the mobile device are adapted to the topographic characteristics of the retention zones.

Strategy: divert the flow of polluted water from the access road to the containment zone (“Light Vehicles” car park) while maintaining access to the site for emergency vehicles (flexible barriers that can be crossed by a vehicle).

Submersible area: 1000 m2

Strategy: contain runoff flows from buildings by using parking spaces as temporary storage basins.
