Point Of Use Flood Gates In Action

Orange Flood Control, LLC has installed rapid-deployed swing and rolling flood gates at facilities across the United States. Many of these resilient flood barriers are still in place – and will continue to provide protection years and decades after the initial install. Commercial flood gates are watertight, adjustable systems engineered to control surging stormwater. Depending on resiliency goals, point-of-use devices are used to restrict flow rates or block floodwater entirely. Across the United States, these solutions help safeguard commercial buildings, critical infrastructure operations, and public spaces from unexpected natural disasters. Explore how these devices have revolutionized flood protection for hundreds of critical infrastructure, commercial, residential, school, and hospital properties in dozens of U.S. locations:

Flood Gates For Properties Across The United States

Innovative Flood Gate Products

Explore active flood gate products that are currently used by facilities across the United States. Keep your facility, business, or property safe in the face of constant flooding risks and rising water levels. Typically, manual end-to-end flood gate deployment takes less than five minutes – so you won’t waste critical time when a true emergency arises. Point-of-use capabilities enable a rapid response during emergency conditions. Gates are commonly positioned across high-risk access points, including underground pedestrian/vehicular openings, subway entrances, and coastal/urban developments. Building owners choose these products for high versatility, durability, and seamless integration.

Hinged Swing Gates

Hinged-pivot flood gates open a full 180-degrees with precision-engineered, specialized hinges. With custom modifications, the opening range is extendable to 270-degrees as well. Removable center supports are available for a paired gate setup, ideal for extended openings.Devices are individually-designed & fully-customized to align with site-specific requirements.

Sliding Flood Gates

Sliding flood gate systems are built with lightweight aluminum & integrated spring wheels for simple, rapid deployment. These solutions function on a flush, dead-level threshold. This innovative functionality supports unrestricted vehicular/pedestrian access while maintaining operational efficiency.Devices are rated for consistent day-to-day use, trusted to be left permanently opened or closed long-term.

Single & Paired Swing Protection

Rapid-Deployment Flood Gates

Flood Height Ratings

Recommended flood barrier height depends on a range of key factors. To get an initial idea, look at the highest recorded flood-level in your community. Add an extra twenty-percent margin for peace of mind & long-term risks. Before recommending sliding or rolling flood gates & design options, teams collect accurate measures and validate opening height/length. Stay compliant to defend your property, protect your business, and avoid fines/violations.

ANSI/FM 2510 Certified Solutions

Codes, Standards, & Certifications

Select flood gates that meet nationwide codes, standards, and certifications. Install FM Approved products that stand out for rigorous testing, third-party testing, and in-depth riverine flooding simulations. FM tests & certifies opening barriers used for garage openings, doorways, loading docks, and other at-risk points. Systems are measured against the FM Approval Standard 2510, consisting of performance, material, and component testing.

Performance inspections simulate realistic flooding conditions for temporary & opening barriers. For swing/sliding gates, testing measures hydrostatic & dynamic impact loading. Material/component tests measure a range of factors, including hydrostatic resistance, seepage/leakage rates and durability. Additionally, verify reliability against corrosion, hail, extreme temperatures, or ultraviolet exposure. For building owners & project stakeholders, an FM certification mark should instill confidence & peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What Permits & Local Requirements Apply?

Exact codes & permitting requirements depend on your location, flood zone, and risk level. Orange Flood Control, LLC supports building owners with construction documents, specifications, and submittals. Professional mitigation projects often require specialized Department Of Buildings (DOB) & Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) permits. We additionally coordinate for projects that require ASCE 24, FEMA, ANSI/FM 2510, BABA, & NYC EBC compliance.

How Much Does It Cost Per Gate & Whole System?

Final costs vary based on a range of device, coordination, and site-specific factors. Our team presents proposals as a high-level rough order of magnitude (ROM) for project stakeholders & board members to review. These early estimates include itemized line items for supply/install costs and process milestones. In addition to the cost for a single gate, your full system may include customized shop drawings, engineered calculations, dedicated field coordination, and always-ready monitoring/alerts.

Where Can You Install Point-Of-Use Floodgates?

Point-of-use gates are ideal for locations that require permanent protection, always available at the opening. Many active systems require off-site storage and rapid-deployment response. Swing/sliding gates are ideal for loading docks, garages, building control systems, and stairwells that require available protection. For specialized extended openings, you can install flood gates for doors & underground parking zones. These barriers stand out for single-person operation, doubling as a secure access gate whenever closed.

Do You Have Documentation On How To Inspect, Clean, & Maintain Devices?

Yes, our flood control team provides resources for critical maintenance dates, inspection checklists, and annual re-training goals. We coordinate full-service maintenance in-house that includes semi-annual/yearly facility training, updated manuals, and custom deployment videos. Repairs are coordinated with experienced, union-certified technicians. Specialists evaluate watertight gate gaskets, compressor air, and potential damage. Treat these services as your annual flood protection & device health report.
