Problem

Massport short for Massachusetts Port Authority put out a tender for flood products to protect various utility buildings by the airport, and harbor in Boston. Sandy was not a problem in Boston, but had it changed direction it could have been. This barrier is part of a major effort to their part to never flood again.

Procedure

The key to AquaFence with any urban environment is to have minimal impact to the hardscape or building design. AquaFence is perfect for a retrofitting as it does not require major changes to either.

Solution

All of the concerns were solved in both projects to onsite review of the property and several meetings with engineers to find a solution that would be effective and at the same time not disturb normal course of business unless the storm approached.

Result/Benefits

Can withstand another surge like Sandy and still be operational when the water recedes without any casualties.
