FLOOD PROTECTION SECRETS by Dr Andreas Klippe｜Homeowner｜Businessman｜Public Servant｜Architect/ Engr.

Flood protection against the destruction of heavy rain and flooding becomes more and more crucial in times of climate change. But the investment sometimes seems high. Are there ways to make it work even though the budget is insufficient?

Enquiries about flood protection are often very vague. But how can you get what you want?

The beginning of spring marks the astronomical start of spring on 20 or 21 March. It is the period of the equinox, when the sun is vertical above the equator. Day and night are then of equal length, each lasting 12 hours.

Why is it that we have to think about heavy rain and flooding around Christmas? Have there been floods around Christmas in recent years? What are the phenomena that influence the climate and the weather?

An investment for flood barriers shall not be expensive. When is the best moment to purchase flood barriers?

Which flood barrier shall I take? How can I protect the vehicles inside an underground garage?

Which flood barrier shall I take? How can I protect the vehicles inside an underground garage?

It happened on May 2 and 3, 2024, when heavy rainfall in southern and central Germany flooded cellars and turned shopping streets into streams.

Underground garages are not just for cars. Other expensive and valuable items are also stored in these basements. How can they be protected from the risk of heavy rain and flooding?

Do you want a price list for flood barriers? What is the price per square meters? Can I have it tomorrow?

In times of increasing rainfall, we are thinking about how to protect our buildings and critical infrastructure. These ideas are being shared more and more by the public. Finally. But what about our cars?

Dubai Creek looks beautiful with illuminated boats. But what happens if there is too much water due to too much rain? What effect does a rising temperature have? And is it really rising?

Delaying a flood protection project is dangerous. Time is precious. Without flood protection, you are vulnerable. Even the next heavy rainfall can flood your building or property.

The story of the RMS Titanic is one of the deadliest tragedies in shipping history. At the time of her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City, the Titanic was the largest ship afloat. How can the disaster that caused her to sink be linked to the price request for flood protection for 55 building entrances?

Will the government and the insurance take care of me when it comes to flooding?

When buildings and critical infrastructure are flooded, no one asks where the weather is coming from. People are busy cleaning up the mess, repairing and procuring replacements.

Is there a difference between the flood protection of a so-called “simple” private house and a huge compound consisting of several buildings, landscape and outer area?

Sometimes flood barriers are to be installed on the wrong side of an entrance. It may be that disruptive elements such as sliding gates or mosquito doors do not allow installation on the front, outside or water side.

Sandbags are still frequently used for flood protection. But they do not protect your building entrance at all from the ingress of heavy rain and flooding.

How should you start? What do I need to consider? Will the barrier price help me decide on a flood protection system that will protect my building?

Part 2: Insurance companies often require the installation of flood protection solutions before issuing an insurance policy. What is the right approach to take?

Discover the parallels between building a sturdy home and developing a foolproof flood defense strategy with “Dr. Flood” Andreas Klippe.

The blueprint for flood protection of company premises summarizes the journey consisting of the 4 parts.

Flood protection began with the hydrological investigation, followed by the most important part 2, the engineering assessment. Based on the findings, detailed planning takes over the baton in this podcast episode part 3.
