The Flood Technology Group adopted a must-not-fail approach to the development of The Flood Adaptive Platform. Therefore, the critical control system that operates the platform is not reliant on microprocessors, ensuring that the system functions in all conditions. In the event of mains power being lost, the platform is fitted with battery backup technology. In the unlikely event of a failure of backup power systems, the platform can be raised manually by a trained professional.

Currently, the tested rise height of The Flood Adaptive Platform is 1.5 metres above ground level. There is scope to increase this further, if required, but this height is suitable for most different purposes.

Yes, The Flood Adaptive Platform is a fail-safe system so, unless there is specific threat to life, the advice from National First Responders and the Fire and Rescue Service is that people should remain in their properties during a flood. However, the Flood Technology Group advises that local emergency planning guidance should be followed in relation to property evacuation during a flood event.
