Flood Protection & Prevention Works
Hydraulic Defense & Post-Flood Waste Removal

Preventive Flood Engineering & Rapid Post-Flood Clearance

Severe Mediterranean flash floods (DANA) put homes, industrial warehouses, rural roads, and drainage channels to the test. At Excavaciones Alicante, we work on two fronts: building preventive flood-defense works before the next storm hits, and mobilizing loaders, excavators, and tipper trucks immediately after flooding to clear silt, fallen debris, and damaged waste.

1. Flood Prevention & Hydraulic Protection Works

• Flood Dikes & Heavy Rock Riprap (Escollera): Armoring stream banks, dry riverbeds (ramblas), and property boundaries with heavy limestone boulders.
• Stormwater Retention Basins & Soakaways: Excavation of attenuation ponds to absorb peak runoff in residential estates and industrial parks.
• Box Culverts & High-Capacity Channels: Reinforced road-crossing culverts, concrete-lined stormwater ditches, and raised access-road grades.
• Watertight Perimeter Walls & Deep Basement Drains: Reinforced flood-barrier walls, backflow preventers, and deep perimeter drainage around basements.

2. Post-Flood Cleanup & Flood Waste Removal

• Silt, Mud & Sediment Clearance: Rapid mechanical cleanup using skid-steers, backhoes, and tippers in flooded streets, garages, plots, and warehouses.
• Flood Debris & Bulky Waste Haulage: Loading, sorting, and transporting water-damaged goods, uprooted trees, reeds, and collapsed masonry to licensed waste facilities.
• Washout & Access Road Reconstruction: Immediate reinstatement of compacted roadbase, eroded slopes, and damaged perimeter walls.
