PS Flood Barriers | Solutions That Hold Water

GLOBAL FLOOD SOLUTIONS THAT HOLD WATER

PS Flood Barriers® is a global, industry-leading manufacturer providing versatile flood protection solutions for a wide variety of industries, including industrial, commercial, federal projects, municipalities and many more.

We learned about the incredible power of water firsthand during the Red River’s devastating flood of 1997 in our hometown of Grand Forks, North Dakota. We’ve put those lessons to good use, and the resulting flood doors and flood barriers are much more than just protection against water, they are protection against fear. This allows you to do business with confidence, which in turn allows your business to thrive.

PS Flood Barriers’ products are made from structural materials that are engineered to meet the requirements of the International Building Code – the same structural expectations as your building itself. The dependability of each of our flood protection products is thoroughly proven by structural engineering calculations, stringent physical testing standards, and thousands of validated customer applications around the globe.

Whether you’re dealing with coastal flooding from hurricanes or flash flooding from heavy rainfall, we have passive-, active- and rapid-deployment products designed to handle virtually every type of flooding. In addition, when you work with PS Flood Barriers, you are working with in-house design, engineering, manufacturing and testing, all under one roof. Call us today.

Ventilation openings that provide airflow to underground infrastructure also create a major vulnerability during severe weather. Flash flooding, storm surge and rapidly rising surface water can quickly overwhelm traditional vent openings, allowing water to enter underground systems within minutes. Once floodwater penetrates these spaces, the result can be catastrophic, leading to equipment damage, electrical failures, service interruptions, costly repairs and dangerous conditions for both workers and the public. As climate patterns continue to produce more intense rainfall events, cities are increasingly challenged to protect vulnerable underground infrastructure without compromising the ventilation systems required for normal operation.

When a major college expansion project at Northeastern Junior College in Sterling, Colorado, required specialized flood protection systems, the project team partnered with general contractor, Building By Design, which then sought out Norwood Contracting for the installation. Headquartered in Salina, Kansas, and serving customers nationwide, Norwood Contracting specializes in millwright services and complex problem-solving, and the company's expertise made it ideal for installing a large-scale flood mitigation project featuring multiple flood barriers and flood doors designed to protect the college’s newest educational facilities.
