A-Z, FLOOR PLAN & PARTNERS

WELCOME TO THE SHOW Welcome to the Flood Expo 2016, the biggest international exhibition and conference to highlight, discuss, challenge, and demonstrate the world’s most advanced flood defence theories and technology.

Across two days, the industry’s most ambitious and progressive authorities will gather at the ExCeL to present their opinions, equipment, services, and strategies in predicting, managing, preventing, and recovering from the effects of flooding.

This event is concentrated on both solving any problems you face and providing solutions with the purpose of highlighting the new and cost-effective ways of preventing and managing flooding. The Expo also gives you the chance to speak in person with the people behind the flood prevention solutions; a fantastic opportunity to fully understand the available options and recognise how they will work.

For the very first time, the Marine & Coastal Civil Engineering Expo, which finds the solutions, equipment, and infrastructure for coastal and marine projects, and the Contamination Expo Series, the UK’s leading event for contamination professionals to find innovative solutions and technology, will run alongside the Flood Expo.

It’s going to be an incredible couple of days and this guide is packed with the things you need to know to plan your day. Make sure you don’t miss a seminar that could inspire you, or a demonstration that could open your eyes to the flood prevention equipment of the future.

Information on our keynote speakers is available on the next page, and further in are details on every live demo, seminar, and exhibitor appearing at the biggest and most comprehensive exhibition on flood defence and prevention.

We look forward to seeing you at the show.

“I have been an ambassador for Flood Expo since its inception, presenting and chairing panel sessions in previous years and I’m looking forward to doing likewise this time. The exhibition showcases new innovations in the rapidly expanding flood protection market, while the presentations and robust debates enable all involved in flood risk management to keep abreast of developments. Last winter’s dramatic flooding reminds us we urgently need to plan and adapt for this ever-increasing threat.”

PROF. DRAGAN SAVIC URBAN FLOOD MODELLING AND RISK VISUALISATION IN 3D WEDNESDAY | 13:15 KEYNOTE THEATRE 1

SEMINAR SNAPSHOT Standard 2-dimensional (2D) maps are a prevailing means for communicating the risk of flooding to the public. However, visualisation in 3D can capture detailed terrain and urban microfeatures (such as buildings, bridges, alleyways, etc), but the datasets produced by these models can be enormous. This presentation will demonstrate how massively merged urban flooding data in 3D could allow better understanding of the risks and mitigation options.

MARY DHONAU OBE

WEDNESDAY | 12:15 LIVE DEBATE AREA

THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS … A REFLECTION ON COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Alarming statistics continue to underpin the flood risk that we all face as a society.

Whether it is the wettest winter on record, or the highest level of rainfall recorded, we are confronted with constant reminders of the worsening picture of flooding in the UK. Grass roots communication with the public is vital to managing flood risk, and the Flood Advisory Service will cover this perspective in its seminar.

Flood Risk

Are the current UK Standards for flood barriers high enough?

Beth Healey, Director at Lakeside Flood Solutions, explains why they are not...

Property owners are coming to terms with the fact that they must invest in flood protection and a ‘kitemarked’ flood barrier, having met the industry standard, ought to give them that peace of mind. But does it?

Lakeside Flood Solutions have been established for 28 years in the UK door and security industry and pride themselves on their high product quality and installation services.

Beth is a Director of the company and says that the criteria for achieving kitemarking for a flood barrier is set too low.

We only recommend and install products of a high standard which we know will work; an ethical stance which, unfortunately, is not always dominant in the industry.

Most notably, we want to help bring to light the extremely low British standard for flood barriers and the subsequent scandalous prevalence of sub-standard products in the industry. This is

evidently extremely concerning given the significant level of government funding being spent on flood protection.

In summary, our key areas of concern which we strongly feel that the public need to be made urgently aware of are as follows: 1. The current UK standard is not good enough – the only certification, the British Standard’s Institute ‘Kitemark’, is only relevant for barriers up to 840mm H and allows for leakage in 3 places. The Kitemark should not be classified as a ‘standard’ to which all councils must adhere to.

We can’t recommend the Kitemark as a reputable standard until it is improved 2. Evidence of the ‘Kitemark’ standard failing is shown in the Chew Magna recent case study in which, out of 69 homes which received Kitemark plastic barriers as part of a Government Grant of £325,000.00, when the area flooded in September 2012,

only 9 homes did not flood and in November 2012, only 4 homes did not flood. We feel it is, frankly, scandalous that the public have not been made aware of this study 3. The key reasons for the plastic barriers failing were that systems were not “user-friendly” and ultimately the “the property level protection did not provide the degree of protection that had been expected”. Essentially, the barriers are quite difficult to install; you literally need to get on your hands and knees to screw the barriers to the door frames. In comparison, with our system you simply slot the barrier profiles into the pre-existing frame and there are no tools required for all barriers not requiring a middle post

Look for high product quality and a professional installation service 16

www.fadsdirectory.com

Lakeside barriers have a ground ‘U’ gulley which ensures a continuous watertight seal

Flood Risk 5. DEFRA states that home/business owners should be responsible for choosing their own products yet we have seen many public tenders to be either extremely directive to the point of exclusion, stating only Kitemark products can be used despite their irrelevance and failure, and, in one case, we have seen a tender to actually illegally state preference for one specific Kitemark product range over any other. We need to practice what DEFRA are preaching and leave home and business owners decide what’s best for themselves

Easy installation, no tools required

4. In addition, it is concerning that the industry standard for flood protection is only being driven by a private institution, the British Standards Institute, rather than DEFRA or another public body. Surely it is DEFRA’s responsibility to lead and shape this industry?

It is crucial that home & business owners are aware of the facts in order to make informed decisions about their flood protection requirements.

Extracts from an independant report, commissioned by the Environment Agency after the 2012 flooding at Chew Magna.

(69 properties had been provided with kitemarked flood barriers following the 2010 floods)

‘floodwater leaking past the lower door barrier seal was the cause at 30% of the flooded properties’

‘properties provided with PLP measures suffered flood inundation and damage, leading to anger and disappointment within the community’
