2. Passive solutions are defined as those which require no human
intervention or power systems to operate.
Passive solutions eliminate the risk of operations and human failure
at the core.
Training time and funds are saved for other critical areas.
Primarily consisting of a visual inspection, maintenance is quick and
easy and can be accomplished with simple hand tools.
A 100% passive, fully automatic system operates 24 hours per
day, every day of the year, minimizing risk, eliminating human and
power dependency, and providing the lowest possible long-term
cost.

37. With the recent increase in levee recertification projects, FloodBreak
has emerged as a cost-effective solution for bridges, roads, and
other levee crossings. Compared to the cost of raising bridges and
roads, and considering the potential issues with viewshed
obstructions at critical junctions, FloodBreak provides a long-
term, highly effective answer.

38. The Floodbreak Vent Shaft System is a unique solution for protecting
underground tunnels and rooms with vertical vents. The system is
designed to fit underneath street-level vent gratings with no
disruption. When the street floods, the system automatically closes
and stops the water from pouring through the vent grate and
damaging sensitive underground equipment such as
transformers, power equipment, or transportation systems.
Types of uses:
- Subway Systems
- Facility Rooms
