Where has the barrier been installed and used in anger the most? Who owns these units and how old are they?
Projects The first barriers were built at Yamanouchi in Meppel in the Netherlands in 1999 and 2000. Heavy traffic has been crossing this barrier daily for almost 10 years without any adverse effect on the barrier construction. The barrier has not required any repairs in that period. The barriers are tested once a year. A third Barrier was installed by the same customer in 2005. The second barrier was built in 2002 at Carrick on Suir in Ireland. The barrier deploys two or three times a year, to the satisfaction of the authorities. Several barriers were built from 2003 for Boulder in Colorado and in Pennsylvania in the US, to the great satisfaction of the authorities. In Boulder where flooding happens very rapidly the SCFB is listed as the only applicable flood barrier for the Boulder community. In Australia the SCFB technology has been widely accepted, with approvals obtained from Woollahra, Sydney, Newcastle, Marrickville, and Pittwater Councils in New South Wales as well as Melbourne
