Electrical power substation flood mitigation at the COPCO II Yard Expansion Project in Hornbrook, California
Flooding poses a significant risk to electrical infrastructure, with power substations and critical equipment vulnerable to water damage that can cause widespread outages and costly repairs. This case study highlights how Mayim Flood Barriers from Garrison Flood Control were selected to safeguard electrical substations in a high-risk flood zone. The project involved the strategic installation of modular, self-deploying flood barriers to provide rapid, effective flood protection while ensuring operational continuity. Key factors in the decision-making process included ease of deployment, durability, and reliability in extreme weather conditions. The successful implementation of Mayim Flood Barriers reinforces the importance of proactive flood mitigation in protecting critical infrastructure and serves as a model for utilities, municipalities, and disaster resilience planners seeking innovative flood defense solutions.
