WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SCHEDULE FOR A FLOOD BARRIER PROJECT?

A flood barrier project should begin at the time the project’s conception. This way the design professional can incorporate all the necessary design criteria within the plans. This process gives both the builder and us a huge head start in bringing the project to completion quickly. If flood barriers are an afterthought or as-built, then the process of completion can become a difficult and complicated procedure. It is necessary that the walls and slabs around the openings be designed to handle the installation of the barriers; as well as, the design loads and be watertight.

Under normal circumstances a project takes 3-4 weeks for the permitting process, 3-6 weeks for the manufacturing process and 1-2 weeks for the installation. This assumption is based on an average size project of 12- 4’-0” barriers, none greater than 12’-0” in width. It is also assumed that all design considerations were established within the plans prior to construction.
