Flooding and Damage Mitigation Consulting, Planning, Design, and Monitoring
The increasing institutional, commercial, and residential development in flood plains throughout the Pacific Northwest Region and across the country has created a growing need to protect buildings from flooding and damage. For many active businesses, progressive corporations, and individuals, relocating business activities during times of imminent flooding, clean-up, and reconstruction is simply not an option. As such, Building Envelope Technology & Research utilizes our waterproofing and construction technology expertise to design and help Clients implement mitigation measures to minimize the damage caused by flood water intrusion and debris impact on the outer walls of a building. BET&R provides design, consulting, construction administration, and construction monitoring of temporary and permanent barriers and waterproofing measures to help keep flood waters out of the building and minimize damage from debris impact.
Flood and Damage Mitigation can:
- Minimize or eliminate damage to the building during a flood;
- Minimize interruptions to business operations;
- Minimize or eliminate the need for interior demolition and fungal growth (e.g., mold) abatement;
- Minimize or eliminate damage to furniture, fixtures, equipment, and other materials that cannot be economically moved;
- Minimize the necessity for re-construction following a flood.
