Flood control systems
As climate change intensifies urban challenges with sudden and unpredictable flooding, proactive flood control is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. To protect communities and maintain the functionality of critical infrastructure during heavy rainfall, effective stormwater management is essential. ViaCon delivers robust flood prevention solutions designed to build resilient cities for a sustainable future.
Engineering effective flood prevention solutions
Effective flood prevention solutions hinge on intelligent stormwater management. Urban planners increasingly recognize that systems for retention, infiltration, and surface drainage are critical for sustainable development. At the core of our strategy, underground water storage tanks play a pivotal role in our flood control systems, ensuring the efficient management of excess water.
For example, large-scale venues like stadiums rely on our systems to handle immense rainfall without the risk of flash floods. By capturing, storing, and controlling rainwater, these flood prevention solutions keep critical areas operational while contributing to sustainable water management—a practical and eco-friendly approach.
Customized flood control systems for urban resilience
We believe the most effective flood control system is one designed for your specific environment. Through consultative problem-solving and value engineering, we create bespoke solutions that integrate retention, infiltration, and carrier piping. Our custom-made steel pipes, available in various diameters and lengths, create cost-effective systems that reduce spatial requirements and eliminate the need for extra manholes.
Sustainable and cost-effective flood control
- Significant Cost Advantages: Gain a total cost advantage over competing materials like plastic and concrete, especially for large-scale projects subject to heavy loads, water contamination risks, and space constraints.
- Superior Sustainability: Our steel-based flood prevention solutions feature an up to 70% lower CO2e footprint compared to similar solutions made of other materials. Furthermore, steel is 100% reusable, aligning with your sustainability goals.
- Time-Saving Installation: Experience installation times up to 80% faster than traditional methods. This efficiency, paired with simple maintenance access through standard manholes, makes our solution a practical, cost-effective, and sustainable choice for modern stormwater management.
Applications:
- Data centres
- Parking lots
- Roads
- Warehouses
- Logistics centres
- Parks
- Housing
- Schools
- Supermarkets
Steel: The smarter choice
The strength and sustainability of steel provides durability and lifespan advantages for construction projects.
Twinstore tanks
ViaCon TwinStore uses geomembrane-lined excavations, perforated geotextile-wrapped joints, and stone backfill to minimize footprint and maximize stormwater storage.
3-in-1 Solution
A ViaCon flood control system is an integrated solution designed to manage stormwater and prevent flooding. It goes beyond simple barriers by using engineered components like underground steel tanks for water retention and infiltration, effectively controlling excess water from heavy rainfall to protect infrastructure.
Yes. Customization is a key part of our offering. Through value engineering, we design bespoke flood control systems that are adapted to your project’s specific challenges, including limited space, heavy load requirements, and unique site layouts, ensuring an efficient and effective solution.
Absolutely. Sustainability is at the core of our design. Our flood control systems are manufactured from steel, which is 100% reusable and has a significantly lower carbon footprint (up to 70% less) than competing materials. By choosing ViaCon, you are investing in a long-lasting and environmentally responsible solution.
Our systems offer a total cost advantage through several factors: significantly faster installation times reduce labor costs, durable materials ensure a long lifespan with minimal maintenance, and efficient design often reduces the overall project footprint and the need for additional components.
