Lanškroun procured AquaBlockFix modular flood barriers
The town of Lanškroun strengthens its protection against torrential rains and sudden floods. Newly included in the technical equipment 100 Straight Pieces AquaBlockFix Modular Flood Barriers.
“We chose AquaBlockFix plastic barriers, which will help us to make flood protection in the city more effective,” he said. Jan Novak from the Emergency Management Department.
Why AquaBlockFix?
The city was looking for a solution that was fast, reliable and could handle even a smaller number of workers.
“We certainly wanted something that could be folded very quickly, moved quickly and did not need many employees or firefighters to assemble it,” added Jan Novak.
The decisive factor was also price, availability and service in the region. “Of course, the price also played a role — it was more advantageous than the competition, even when compared to foreign countries. A great advantage is also that the company is based in our district. The possible delivery of additional parts or servicing will not be a problem,” he explained.
Originally, the city also considered other types of restraints, such as bags filled with water. “In the end, we dropped them because they degrade quickly and don't pay to invest in them. Colleagues from other cities have confirmed to us that better is a solution that can be built with a few people in a matter of minutes,” Novak added.
It was the rapid handling that was one of the key arguments. AquaBlockFix barriers can be thanks to the equipment of technical services loaded in 5-10 minutes and immediately transported to where they are needed most.
Reliable protection for the city and residents
