Case Study 1 - Lincolnshire 

Following a “high tide” incident previously, the East Lindsey District Council had to find the best and most convenient method of protecting their tenants in the large, on beach, Concession building on the sea front. 
 
Both the Caro WaterWall and WaterDoor products fitted this need, allowing for full access, both out front as well as at the rear, during the busy season for the kiosks. If needed the barriers could be erected within minutes. 
 
Once this busy season had finished it meant that the Concession holders were able to erect their barriers and leave them up through the winter, if they so desired, in the knowledge that they would not be affected should another flood event happen whilst they weren’t there.

Case Study 2 - Middlesex 

After much investigation and research, this well-known Electric Utility Company commissioned Caro FDS to design, supply and install a removable flood barrier to surround their sub-station equipment. 
 
Being located right alongside a river that has been known to flood dramatically in the past, it was seen as a major weak point in their Disaster Planning to not have some method of protection. The Caro WaterWall system was chosen to give this protection.

Caro FDS were approached by the local council in Gloucester to provide a flood protection solution to three openings situated adjacent to the City's Quayside.
