Project description
A life jacket for buildings
Coastal communities in Europe and around the world know all too well the devastation that can be caused by flooding. As climate change is increasing and accelerating this threat, flood resilient construction strategies are critical for effective flood risk management. The EU-funded FloodFrame project has developed an automatic and preinstalled flood protection technology based on a waterproof membrane that wraps the building during a flood. It also protects the building’s foundation. According to the project, flood victims will be targeted first to reach at least 0.7 % of the market (more than 7 300 properties).
