Advanced Design and Performance for Reliable Flood Protection Equipments
Problem: Flood protection equipment must be durable, corrosion-resistant, and meet high standards for watertightness and stability to withstand intense environmental pressures. To achieve effective, sustainable flood protection, materials must not only provide robust performance but also be lightweight for easy handling and installation.
Solution: At Bergtec, we specialise in high-performance, marine-grade aluminium flood protection systems designed to meet the toughest standards for corrosion resistance, strength, and environmental sustainability. With over half a century of expertise in metallurgy, engineering, and design, we ensure that our flood protection equipments deliver lasting protection and meet all ISO and European standards. Through meticulous manufacturing and advanced 3D/CAD engineering, our equipment solutions deliver the reliability and performance needed for flood protection across urban, industrial, and residential applications.
Key Features of Bergtec’s Flood Protection Equipment
Marine-Grade Aluminium Alloys for Maximum Durability
Our flood protection equipments are crafted using selected marine-grade aluminium alloys, which provide exceptional corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. These materials, known for their extensive use in industries like aeronautics and wastewater management, are hot extruded and laminated to achieve optimal performance in challenging environments.
Superior Weldability and Strength
We combine high-strength, corrosion-free aluminium alloys with advanced manufacturing processes, ensuring that each component exhibits superior weldability and durability. This makes our systems ideal for flood-prone areas, where mechanical stresses demand high-quality construction that can withstand both environmental and flood-related pressures.
Expert Engineering and Proven Track Record
With decades of experience, Bergtec brings extensive knowledge and proven expertise to every project. Our long-standing collaboration with a leading Swiss aluminium supplier ensures the highest quality standards in our flood protection solutions. Our flood equipments are environmentally responsible, as we work with partners who use ISO-certified processes and recycle nearly all aluminium waste.
Why Aluminium Alloy?
Mechanical Strength and Corrosion Resistance
Aluminium alloys offer unparalleled strength-to-weight ratios, providing the same durability as heavier materials while being nearly three times lighter than steel. This lightweight design facilitates rapid installation and makes aluminium an ideal choice for demountable flood barriers. Additionally, aluminium’s excellent chemical resistance ensures lasting protection against corrosion, even in highly corrosive environments like coastal or urban flood zones.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Choice
Our flood protection equipments are designed with sustainability in mind. Our primary aluminium supplier operates in a 100% environmentally friendly manner, recycling extrusion waste to minimise the carbon footprint. This commitment to sustainability aligns with Bergtec’s dedication to offering eco-friendly flood protection solutions.
General Design and Manufacturing Standards
ISO and European Standards Compliance
Bergtec’s flood defence equipments are manufactured in accordance with ISO and European standards, ensuring maximum deflection under load and superior watertightness. Each component is designed to perform reliably under high-stress conditions, delivering consistent and effective flood protection.
