The Priest House Hotel, part of The Brook Group portfolio, is beautifully positioned along the River Trent in Derby. Despite its charming location, the hotel has frequently confronted the challenge of flooding.
Initial Challenges
The hotel’s initial attempts at flood defence, including a traditional sandbag wall and a welded Gabion Box barrier, proved ineffective against the mighty Trent. These methods were not only labour-intensive but also environmentally burdensome and visually unattractive.
Engagement With Flood Solutions UK
The management’s commitment to finding sustainable flood solutions led them to collaborate with Flood Solutions UK for an innovative flood defence product that will succeed where other products failed.
Challenges and Immediate Action
Under the guidance of Francis, MD of The Brook Group, the hotel initiated a dynamic response to their flood concerns:
- Innovative Flood Barrier Demo Request: Recognising the limitations of video simulations, Francis requested a live demonstration of an effective flood barrier suited to the dynamic conditions of the River Trent.
- Flood Solutions UK’s Action: Demonstrating exceptional service, Flood Solutions UK expedited demo units the following day for on-site trial testing.
- Expert Flood Defence Consultation: Francis highlighted the need for expert advice on the comprehensive flood defence products required for the hotel’s unique landscape.
- Flood Solutions UK’s Action: Showcasing their customer dedication, a same-day site visit was conducted to offer bespoke flood solutions.
- Anticipating Flood Risks: With the hotel at the cusp of another potential flood event within 24 to 36 hours, the urgency for a reliable flood defence system was paramount.
- Flood Solutions UK’s Action: Reflecting their rapid response capability, preparations for the delivery of flood defence products were completed on the same day.
Flood Defence System Implementation
The Noaq Boxwall, a modular and innovative flood barrier, was selected by the hotel for its proven efficacy and ease of installation. The system’s deployment, covering 68 meters of critical areas, was a testament to the effectiveness of proactive flood solutions and the rapid response from Flood Solutions UK.
Conclusion: A Partnership for Flood Resilience
This case study illustrates the effective partnership between a client in need of urgent flood defences and a supplier ready to provide swift and effective solutions. The Priest House Hotel, steered by Francis’s proactive approach, and the Flood Solutions UK’s agility, highlight the success that can be achieved with the right flood defence products and a commitment to excellence in customer service. The Noaq Boxwall serves not only as a barrier against the elements but also as a symbol of innovative and collaborative flood management.
