With the occurrence of flooding becoming more regular in the UK, Hoseshop has teamed up with AquaDam Europe Ltd to supply them with layflat hose, layflat hose joiners and jubilee clips.
AquaDam Europe manufactures Mobile Flood Barriers from 10 Mtr to 10 Km long, to protect properties and businesses from flooding.
Greg Shakeshaft, AquaDam Europe, Managing Director, commented ‘all of our UK manufactured speedy 90 range AquaDam SpeedyDams are equipped as standard with 3” layflat hose, male and female coupling secured with jubilee clips all supplied by Hoseshop. Our dams are used in challenging locations from London Underground Culverts to National Trust properties in full view of the public. Reliability out of the box is absolutely essential – hence why we use Hoseshop’.
Layflat hoses are also regularly used with a water pump, to transport floodwater away from a flooded area and into a suitable watercourse.
Hoseshop’s range of Layflat hose are strong, flexible and easily transportable, should the flood be in an inaccessible area. The manufacturing process means they are resistant to rotting and have a good resistance to abrasion damage, ensuring the hose enjoys a long lifespan and can be used on many occasions.
They can be connected together multiple times using a male and female coupling or a lever lock coupling, to make a hose several hundred metres long, which can be very beneficial in remote areas. To find out more about how to connect hoses together, read our previous post.
After the flood has subsided, both the AquaDam flood barrier and Hoseshop’s layflat hoses can be rolled up and stored, ready for the next emergency. If you would like to discuss the layflat hoses we have, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
