Why Aluminium? Superior Strength and Durability for Flood Protection Equipment
Problem: Effective flood protection requires materials that are not only durable but also resistant to corrosion, lightweight, and sustainable over time. Traditional materials often lack the longevity and ease of handling required for high-performance flood systems, especially in corrosive or challenging environments.
Solution: Aluminium alloys provide an optimal solution. Used in industries like aerospace and marine for decades, aluminium alloys bring superior mechanical strength and corrosion resistance to flood protection applications. As a pioneer in aluminium flood protection equipment, Bergtec leverages decades of expertise to deliver lightweight, durable, and sustainable flood barriers that stand the test of time.
Why Choose Aluminium for Flood Protection?
- Lightweight and Strong: Aluminium is both strong and lightweight, offering easy handling and installation for our demountable flood barriers, stop logs flood barriers, and other flood protection equipment solutions. Unlike heavier materials, aluminium allows for rapid deployment and removal, which is ideal for emergency flood situations
- Corrosion Resistance: With natural resistance to corrosion, aluminium alloys are well-suited for marine and harsh environments. This corrosion resistance is a significant advantage for flood protection, ensuring the equipment remains structurally sound and visually appealing over years of use.
- Proven Track Record in Extreme Conditions: Aluminium’s remarkable properties have led to its use in diverse fields, including water treatment plants since the 1920s and marine applications dating back to 1895. Bergtec harnesses this proven material to design high-performance flood systems suitable for both urban and industrial environments.
- Sustainable and Eco-Friendly: Aluminium is 100% recyclable, making it an environmentally responsible choice for flood protection. Our commitment to using sustainable materials aligns with global initiatives to reduce environmental impact.
- Excellent Performance in Low Temperatures: Aluminium alloys become even more resistant in extremely low temperatures, unlike steel, which becomes brittle. This makes aluminium flood barriers highly effective in polar or cold regions.
Since 1970, Bergtec has specialised in aluminium alloy fabrication, producing flood protection solutions that are expertly designed, shaped, and welded. Our extensive range of aluminium profiles enables us to customise each project, ensuring maximum resilience and functionality. Every product reflects our high-quality standards and commitment to excellence in flood protection solutions.
