Paris Tennis Committee (France)
Paris
For many months, the Paris Tennis Committee had been experiencing water ingress into its walls. The seepage was due to poor waterproofing caused by faulty workmanship on the walls, which had been in place for many years. Little by little, water seeps in during heavy rains, trickles down the wall and onto the tennis courts. This causes infiltration into the soil, rapidly damaging the tennis court surface. As the cost of any renovations would be considerable, there are no plans to carry out any work at present. Instead, the committee wanted to find a temporary solution to halt the damage. The committee therefore turned to OBLOC® ultra-absorbent solutions to continue its business. OBLOC® pads (90/120/300 and 500 cm) were laid out as follows When heavy rainfall occurs, the socks automatically absorb the water, which runs down the wall without spreading. As a result, there are no unpleasant surprises for staff the following day, and they don't have to come and mop up the tennis courts.
It is difficult to quantify the CO2 savings achieved. If we take the case of the traditional sandbag solution, it has no absorption capacity and damage is inevitable. Given that the Committee has no immediate plans to carry out any work, this cost-effective solution (from €23 to €119) will prevent water damage. In France, the average water damage claim is around €1,500. But when it comes to a specific covering, costs can be much higher. This solution works without energy and can be reused for m
Climate change is causing extreme weather events that lead to increasingly frequent and violent flash floods, affecting previously unexposed areas. These cause considerable financial, ecological and psychological damage. In order to reduce these impacts, Ausec has developed the OBLOC® range of flood control products. Flood barriers absorb, block and divert water and sludge during a flood to reduce damage and waste after a flood. This lightweight, thin-looking bag increases its volume by 2400% when activated in contact with water. The patented innovation of these products provides a low storage volume, homogeneous activation and excellent water retention capacity. They are environmentally friendly and can be used independently.
