Tadcaster Medical Centre
Client: Tadcaster Medical Centre
The Problem
Located just 100m from the River Wharfe in North Yorkshire, the Tadcaster Medical Centre has been frequently affected by flooding.
Following a significant flood event in February 2022, it became clear that the building required comprehensive flood protection to improve resilience against further water ingress and damage.
The Solution
After a site survey, a tailored flood protection scheme was designed for the medical centre.
M3 Floodtec implemented:
- Four flood barriers using a combination of Defender walls and stop logs for all access doors
- Non-return valves installed within the drainage system
- Internal puddle pumps with permanent piped outlets
- Replacement of conventional air bricks with anti-flood self-closing air bricks
- Application of Waterstop masonry protection to address all risk areas within the client’s budget
