140703 Opening - Expanded Flood Proof Holland Polder
Published on by Stefan J. Flos, waterTv.nl - Consultant - Managing Director at SJF projects & support / h2video.nl in Academic
Holland is a test-bed for water safety solutions. One such solution is the Flood Proof Holland test facility near Delft - part of the TU Delft. The expanded facility was opened in juli 2014 and was constructed with help of our military - who play an important role in flood mitigation.
In this facility a number of companies test alternatives for sandbags - which are frequently used during a flood threat. These sandbags are easy to use and deploy - but very difficult and expensive to clean up afterwards.
A number of Flood Proof Holland examples can be found on this special page - here.
