Investing in flood plains
Architecture and well integrated flood barriers will be the future for flood prone areas.
Investors and city planners will face more sudden rainfall (flash-) floods aside floods caused by river discharge and/or coastal flooding. Dutchdam represents custom design in flood defence.
Dublin City Council created a pedestrian site in a flood plain
In the City centre of Dublin IE recently eleven Dutchdam flood barriers were installed. Together with a series of well-designed concrete walls, it forms a flood wall between the Liffey and the adjacent city area. The City created a pedestrian area where the public can feel the immediate contact with the river, a place to walk, to sit and to enjoy the (tidal-) river.
Dutchdam in Marine quality along the coast of the Irish Sea
As usual the flood barrier is completely stored on site in its own gutter box.
The gutter box and its covers are 4x coated galvanized steel. The stanchions and wall plates are made out of Stainless Steel. The panels are in high load composite, each internally locked.
Strong, reliable and durable. In place in 10 to 15 minutes.

The Dam-in-Dam design is very suitable to encircle objects.
“Based on Unique properties and values”
The Cleverdam
To elevate all shoreline structures to a permanent maximum safety level is not realistic. Besides the technical and financial feasibility, it ruins landscapes, blocks the view on and access to the water. The accessibility of the shorelines represents an enormous economic value worldwide, especially in deltas, harbours and along the waterfronts.
