Structural
tests
Like everything we create at SBB, our Flood Protection System went through tests to ensure quality and performance before being offered to our clients.
The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was successfully performed to simulate the most challenging test of the FM Approval Standard for Flood Mitigation Equipment certification, class number 2510, April 2019.
In these tests, our barrier withstood the load of 2 wooden logs projected consecutively on it while showing a permanent deformation far below the prescribed limit of 0.8" (2.0 cm) vs an authorized maximum of 6 "(15 cm).
Our infiltration test showed results of only 46 litres /hour/ meter of barrier, approximately 25% of the limit prescribed by the FM certification (186 litres/hour/meter).
