Dutchdam

The project

Corne Rijlaarsdam has designed a system to prevent flood damage. The installation can bet set up in any length and thanks to the integrated struts, a comprehensive and fully dependable flood barrier using panels can be erected within a very short space of time. All components are kept under lock and key. The composite panels recess inside the wall and are durable and stronger than aluminium.
