Floods are one of the most devasting natural hazards globally, and Smart Walls Construction has devised an innovative way to solve this issue in the form of temporary but durable walls.
As the brand points out, "despite their long-lasting consequences, floods are considered short-duration events that can be measured in a matter of days. Therefore, [they] believe the solution must provide protection only when needed and must allow daily activities to continue when the protection is not needed." Cue the telescopic wall.
The telescopic wall from Smart Walls Construction can be permanently installed and deployed when needs. In addition, the system features boxes instead of boxes (when in a retracted position) that can extend to create a non-permanent structural wall. Moreover, the advanced material ensures the boxes can easily retract or extend without compromising the structural strength.
