Attaching the membrane – Gera training in action This autumn, Haawal joined two large-scale flood protection exercises: one in Niedersachsen, hosted by the State Fire a

Haawal is the only system that adapts to all types of uneven ground and terrain – from city streets to steep slopes. One solution protects both single buildings and entire communities. Beyond floods, our barriers have also been used as temporary water reservoirs during wildfires and even to block invasive fish species in Spain.

This week, our flood barriers were utilized during a forest fire exercise with the Norwegian Civil Defence! Water is a crucial resource during fire events, but it’s not always abundant in the forest. With our barriers, small streams can quickly be dammed to create a water reservoir, providing a reliable source for large pumps. We are thrilled with the results and proud that the flexibility of our system means it can be used for much more than just flood prevention! Thank you
