Enhancing coastal resilience: Hammerhead™ aluminum flood barriers protect Florida condominium complex

In response to escalating hurricane activity and associated flooding in Naples, Florida, a luxury waterfront condominium complex sought to enhance its flood defenses. The primary objective was to safeguard critical infrastructure—including entryways, electrical rooms, vent openings, and backup generators—from storm surges and heavy rainfall. Given the urgency, with peak hurricane season spanning August through November, the complex required a rapidly deployable flood protection solution.

After consulting with Garrison Flood Control, the property management selected the Hammerhead™ Aluminum Flood Log System. This system features robust 6063 T-5 aluminum planks that fit securely into U-channel posts, creating a durable barrier against water intrusion. The design allows for quick installation ahead of impending storms, ensuring that essential services remain operational during severe weather events.

The implementation of this flood mitigation system has significantly bolstered the complex's resilience against natural disasters, providing peace of mind to residents and preserving the integrity of vital infrastructure.

This case study exemplifies proactive disaster risk reduction measures in coastal communities, aligning with global efforts to enhance resilience against climate-induced hazards.
