In an era where climate change is increasingly impacting our weather patterns, innovative solutions to combat flooding are more crucial than ever. Enter the Flood Adaptive Platform, a groundbreaking technology developed by The Flood Technology Group. This state-of-the-art system is designed to elevate accommodation units automatically as floodwaters rise, ensuring safety and minimising damage.
How It Works
The Flood Adaptive Platform utilises a sophisticated mechanical jack system equipped with smart sensors. These sensors detect rising water levels and trigger the platform to elevate the structure above the floodwaters—up to 1.5 meters high—within just 30 minutes. This rapid response is vital, especially considering the speed at which flooding can occur.
Key Features:
Automatic Elevation: The platform elevates structures automatically, ensuring they remain above flood levels.
Energy Efficient: The power required to lift the platform is less than that needed to boil a kettle, making it an energy-efficient solution.
Robust Design: It has been rigorously tested for wind and wave resistance, ensuring stability during extreme weather conditions.

Applications
The versatility of the Flood Adaptive Platform is impressive. It can be applied to various structures, including:
Modular homes
Mobile lodges
Commercial buildings
This adaptability makes it an attractive option for developers and local authorities looking to enhance flood protection and resilience in vulnerable areas.
Environmental Benefits
Unlike traditional flood mitigation methods, such as levees and flood walls, the Flood Adaptive Platform does not displace floodwater, allowing it to flow naturally. This innovative approach not only protects properties but also works in harmony with the environment, reducing the risk of flooding in other areas.
