Ensure Longevity of Flood Protection Equipment with Maintenance and Replacement Parts
Problem: Flood protection systems face ongoing environmental stress and occasional impacts, which may lead to wear over time. Proper maintenance and the availability of high-quality replacement parts are crucial to ensure these systems remain effective when they are most needed.
Solution: Bergtec flood protection equipment is designed for minimal maintenance, leveraging corrosion-resistant aluminium alloys and other high-quality materials. Regular checks, particularly of sealant gaskets, as well as proper storage and handling, will keep these barriers performing at their best over the long term. Should any components require replacement, Bergtec provides reliable parts to maintain the system’s original integrity and performance.
Key Benefits of Maintenance and Replacement Parts for Flood Protection Equipment
Corrosion-Resistant Aluminium Alloys
Our high-quality aluminium alloys are designed to resist corrosion without requiring frequent maintenance, such as greasing or painting. A simple power-wash is usually all that is needed to keep components clean and free from dirt or mud, ensuring continued resilience.
Durable Manufacturing Materials
Aside from the sealant gaskets, all materials used in our flood barriers are built to withstand environmental challenges and are not prone to wear under normal conditions. However, incorrect handling or impacts may lead to the need for part replacement. In such cases, Bergtec offers reliable replacement parts to maintain the system’s structural integrity.
Space-Saving Design
Designed to hold up to 20 square meters of flood protection components, our trolleys are stackable for efficient storage, reducing the overall storage volume required for larger projects.
Annual Inspection of Sealant Gaskets
The sealant gaskets are the only component that may require periodic replacement. Sensitive to UV exposure and dryness, these gaskets should be inspected yearly for signs of aging, such as cracks or fissures, which could compromise watertightness. Replacing gaskets as needed will ensure the system remains fully functional.
Maintenance and Replacement Parts: Specifications and Recommendations
Maintenance Requirements
- Power-Washing: Regularly clean aluminium components like logs, I-beams, anchor housings, and U-members to keep them in top condition.
- Proper Storage: Store equipment in a covered area to shield it from environmental exposure and UV damage, which can help prolong the lifespan of sensitive parts like sealant gaskets.
Replacement Parts
- Sealant Gaskets: Check annually and replace if signs of wear or aging appear.
- Other Components: Replace only if damaged by incorrect handling or improper usage, ensuring the flood protection system remains reliable.
Proper Storage and Handling for Long-Lasting Flood Protection
Storage Guidelines
Proper storage is key to maintaining your flood protection equipment. Ensure all components are stored in a covered area to protect against UV exposure and environmental elements, which helps to extend the life of sensitive parts like seals.
Handling Precautions
To prevent unnecessary wear or damage, avoid improper handling, such as collisions with vehicles or other heavy equipment. Proper handling helps to maintain the system’s performance and minimises the need for replacement parts.
