Floating roads rather than viaducts
When a flood-risk area road is built on embankments, a bank has to be created in order to be above the water level in case of flood.During a flood, this change of landscape has a major impact on the hydraulic system, and increases the flood's extent in that particular area. When embankment is not an option, one frequently resorts to artwork, which often stands for huge costs.
 A hydraulic-impact free solution
In addition to its economic relevance, building a floating road enables unhindered water flow. Its construction does not interfere with the area's hydraulic system, so it is possible to cross the floods' expansion fields without affecting the area.
Operation
  | The road is made up of 25 m long sections, that are linked by junctions. |
  |  Each section is made up of three layers:
|
  |  The linking bridge joins the floating road to the embankment road. |
  | The road's anti-drift system is managed by central streetlights. |
