Floodproofing.com Adds to Flood Mitigation Systems Portfolio Available through the General Services Administration

Mount Royal, N.J.--Floodproofing.com, an international leader in protecting communities and businesses from the devastating effects of flooding, is expanding its portfolio of products available through the General Services Administration (GSA) with the addition of its Flood Panel Mega Flood Logs and Flood Panel Flood Shield systems. The company was awarded a GSA contract in November 2023 allowing government buyers to directly purchase its popular Smart Vent and Dam Easy flood mitigation systems.

The contract with the GSA allows government buyers, including federal, state and local governments, to purchase products from Floodproofing.com at agreed-upon prices and terms. It streamlines the procurement process, making it easier for government buyers to purchase products.

“Having the Mega Flood Log System approved for procurement through the General Services Administration is testament to the engineering and thorough testing the product has gone through to meet stringent government standards,” said Tom Little, CFM, president and CEO of Floodproofing.com. “Our products often exceed this high standard, and we are proud of the testing results of the Mega Flood Log System.”

Designed to be highly resistant to heavy impact forces and able to withstand high-velocity water loads typical of flash floods and hurricanes, the Mega Flood Log System is an in-demand flood mitigation solution with hundreds of successful installations and deployments at commercial properties and critical infrastructure facilities. The innovative design makes it easy to install and quick to deploy.

Floodproofing.com recently conducted third-party testing of its Flood Panel Mega Flood Log System following hydrostatic and impact performance standards of the American National Standard for Flood Mitigation Equipment known as ANSI/FM 2510. According to the new ASCE/SEI 24-24 standards, all flood barriers must be tested and certified to meet the applicable requirements of ANSI/FM 2510.

Manufactured at the company’s Jupiter, Florida-based Flood Panel facility, the Mega Flood Log System underwent seepage and impact testing in two configurations 12 feet wide by 5 feet high, and 5 feet wide by 8 feet high. The system was tested in a water tank filled to 10 percent capacity for one hour and 100 percent capacity for 20 hours.

The ANSI/FM 2510 test limit for seepage is 0.08 gallons per hour per linear foot of seal – about 10.2 ounces. The Mega Flood Log System tested at 0.01 gallons per hour – about 1.3 ounces, far exceeding the standard. Even after impact testing with a 110 lb. wooden log smashing into the assembled system, Mega Flood Logs showed no additional seepage when retested.

Flood Panel Flood Shield is an aluminum removable flood barrier that is engineered to withstand hurricane forces and flood water impact. Each panel is custom designed to fit the full Design Flood Elevation and is edged with a neoprene gasket. Panels can be fabricated in any size and configuration with design heights varying from 12 inches to over 7 feet. They can be used in conjunction with Flood Logs in areas where long arrays are required and the ground condition changes in elevation.
