Protecting Dairy Production Against Costly Flood Damage

TINE SA is Norway’s largest dairy cooperative, representing farmers and employees all over the country. At their production site in Brumunddal, operations are particularly vulnerable to flooding because a stream runs directly through the area. As a facility running 24/7 with sensitive raw materials like milk, the consequences of a flood are devastating.


Having learned from past experience, the operations team has a clear goal: production must never stop, even during a flood.


 Usecase summary:
  • Use case: Protection of Tine’s production facility

  • User: TINE SA

  • How many meters: 200 meters

  • Terrain: Asphalt and concrete

  • Protection height: 90 cm

  • System: The Haawal flood barrier

  • Outcome: Production plant protected


Protecting production from flooding

To be better prepared for future flooding events, the facility invested in 200 meters of the Haawal Flood Barrier.


Unlike traditional flood protection methods, the system is designed for:

  • Fast deployment

  • Flexible adaptation to terrain

  • Reusability after flood events


This makes it particularly suitable for industrial environments where time and simplicity are critical.

Fast and reliable flood protection

  • Reusability after flood events

“We primarily invested in flood protection to avoid having to stop production during flood events. A production stop is very serious for us. We are very satisfied with this solution.” - Roald Andersen, Head of Health, Safety, and Environment.

40 meters in 10 minutes

To test their flood preparedness, the facility carried out a practical exercise.

With guidance from Haawal, 20 employees installed 40 meters of flood protection in just 10 minutes.


The result:

  • Fast setup without heavy equipment

  • High confidence among staff

  • Clear procedures for emergency situations
