Tweed Airport

Tweed Airport is vulnerable to coastal flooding from the Long Island Sound and localized flash floods from extreme rain events. The City of New Haven required the airport to install deployable flood protection for the facility. They chose Super Flood Logs for 15 openings with protection heights from 2-4 feet depending on flood risk in each location.
The installation included custom features to fortify critical areas of the airport., including a fully-enclosed array to protect the TSA baggage scanners. For another opening, we installed self-supporting wall channel that can absorb the entire flood load with no impact on the building structure. The custom channels were attached to 4x4 steel posts.
