A LIFE JACKET FOR YOUR HOUSE IN FLOOD TIMES

Descrizione del progetto

Un giubbotto di salvataggio per gli edifici

In Europa e nel mondo, le comunità costiere conoscono tutte fin troppo bene le devastazioni che possono essere provocate dalle inondazioni. Dato che i cambiamenti climatici stanno incrementando e accelerando questa tendenza, sono necessarie strategie di costruzione per una gestione efficace del rischio di alluvioni. Il progetto FloodFrame, finanziato dall’UE, ha sviluppato una tecnologia per la protezione dalle alluvioni automatica e preinstallata basata su una membrana impermeabile che avvolge un edificio nel corso di un’alluvione e ne protegge le fondamenta. Secondo il progetto, le vittime delle alluvioni saranno i primi destinatari e si punterà a raggiungere almeno lo 0,7 % del mercato (più di 7 300 proprietà).

Obiettivo

Climate change has increased the occurrence and frequency of flood events worldwide, and 215 million people are currently under flood risk. Flooding can be devastating for both homes and businesses, causing economic loss. An estimated cost of a flood is €98,000 per household, and, to date, there is a lack of effective individual solutions for houses and buildings in the flood protection market. At FloodFrame A/S (DK, 2017), we have developed FloodFrame (patent pending): an automatic and pre-installed Flood Protection Technology for houses and buildings based on a waterproof membrane, which wraps the building during flood events protecting also its foundation. It does not require a flat surface to be effective and is activated by the rising water functioning without any electricity or human interaction while giving the possibility to increase the protection height during the flood automatically as high the water rises. FloodFrame is currently offered at a competitive price of €300/m. Today there is no solution in the flood protection market that could fulfill the specific needs of home owners and at an affordable price. Our primary target customers are homeowners who have already experienced a flood, like our 12 Early Adopters in Roskilde Fjord and Houston (US). Today, our prototype is at TRL7, and this project will help us to reach the TRL9 by optimizing and testing the final design and the installation process as well as to complete the commercial activities still needed to reach the market (e.g. supply chain consolidation and fulfilment of legal and quality requirements). By 2024 and based on a two-fold business model – direct sales and license holders – we expect to reach at least 0.7% of the market across Europe and US (least 7,387 properties protected by FloodFrame).Thus, we have forecasted €29.72 million of cumulated revenues (€18.63 cumulative profit - ROI 4.45) and at least 40 new employees (20 technical support, 10 trainers, 4 engineers and 6 sales experts)
