The systems below are very neat and can protect against up to two meters (6.5 feet)of floodwater and can be triggered to deploy by the push of a button or automatically activated. whats alsoi neat is the covers on the system can be made to blend in with existing hardscape when not deployed!


Heres some of the markers they have on sidewalks around the building










FLIP-UP FLOOD BARRIER
To provide unrestricted access to pedestrian and vehicle entrances, this self-rising flood barrier is fully recessed in to the ground when not in use.

Activated by a push button, automatically triggered by sensors, or manually, this flood barrier rises up to flood defence heights of 2m as standard and up to lengths of 12m.

Designed to provide totally unrestricted access to pedestrian and vehicle entrances.

A range of surface finishes is available; from skid resistant epoxy coatings to timber cladding or paving to fit in with the external hard landscaping.

These flood barriers can rise automatically with the rising flood waters or by push button in advance keeping you in control for complete peace of mind. Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) and manual backups mean these flood barriers will not let you down.

A single flip-up flood barrier system can protect openings up to 12m wide and multiple systems can be linked with intermediate posts to create a flood defence run of almost any length. Depending on span, flood defence heights of up to 2m are available.

Movement and weight sensors prevent the barriers opening if the entrance is obstructed whilst optional audio/visual alarms sound prior to and during operation.

Optional 24 volt back-up systems are available for use in the event of mains failure and permanently installed security grates cover the housing pit - serving as both a safety platform for traffic and pedestrians and as protection for the hydraulic system while the barrier remains raised.

These barriers are designed for pedestrian and vehicle entrances, or anywhere where unrestricted level access is required.

Any reason they decided to use this barrier system? This one needs power and looks like it's engaged using hydraulics. Aren't there passive versions out there that float up with the water?

It's a shame they even need it. That area never used to flood like it does now. I wonder if some city drain pipes are obstructed or something else is going on preventing the water from being pumped out in this area.

Not a development, but figured I'd share this drone footage of New Orleans.

Quite some nice views and angles. Can also see some cranes as well for developments rising.

I dont know for sure what system they are using but this system makes the most sense from a use perspective because the system needs to be deployed within a matter of minutes. That building and block is really low compared to my house which is just across the street. I dont know if it used to flood or not but as of now its just too low and this is the best solution in my mind. Cant pump way out when so low because the water all around just heads to that block to replace whats pumped out

Thanks for posting. Really cool views.
But where's the dome???

[gus78]

Those barriers look incredible. Must cost a fortune though!

Nice drone video.

I'm happy to see that more buildings are beginning to use roof space for more than mechanical systems. While there are still very few compared to some cities, the number of buildings having rooftop lounges, pools, and green space is more than when I lived there.

I hope architects and designers in NO continue the trend.

Its definitely becoming the norm for new buildings and the current city code is much better at encouraging these uses too

ALso heres an illustration of what floor is being formed and poured at the odeon

[tennis1400]

Also I noticed the antenna has been taken off the Four Seasons building so Im guessing the replacement antenna is really just for aesthetics and wont serve and broadcasting purposes

I think 309 Baronne, the little building between it and the NOPSI Hotel, is owned by a hotel developer too.
