Flexi®-Pave Shows Significant Success in The Face of Hurricane Forces with its Inherent Capabilities to Resist the Hydrostatic Pressures Exerted When Storm Surges Recede.
TAMPA BAY, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 29, 2022 / Atlantic Power & Infrastructure Corp's. (OTC PINK: AWSL) wholly owned subsidiary K.B. Industries Inc., proves that Flexi®-Pave shows incredible resistance to Hydrostatic Forces.
Hurricane Ian's direct hit on Fort Myers
The most destructive hurricane since 1935, delivered the onslaught of Hurricane Ian's direct hit on Fort Myers, FL., which resulted in an Eight Foot Storm Surge on top of Flexi®-Pave Sidewalks at the Mound House Museum. As predicted, the Flexi®-Pave installation withstood the full force of Ian's surge.
Alison Giesen, Director of Culture, Parks, and Recreation in the Town of Fort Myers Beach stated that "the Flexi®-Pave was not affected in the slightest even with having over eight feet of sea water on it! Much of the property experienced serious damage except for the KBI's Flexi®-Pave sidewalks".
About the Installation
With the sidewalks being Flexi®-Pave andhaving a porosity rate of 3000 gallons per square foot per hour. The Flexi®-Pave showed an immense capability to release "trapped water forces" underneath the Flexi®-Pave that were trying to escape as the storm surge receded. These forces usually displace and crack traditional concrete and asphalt paving, thus clearly demonstrating K.B. Industries Inc's "Next Generation of Paving" alternatives to storm water engineers when proactively planning coastal urbanized Infrastructure against hurricane forces.
Kevin Bagnall CEO, AWSL stated…" This installation of Flexi®-Pave at Mound House most certainly illustrates the beneficial return of investment and long-term savings for our clients. Their original interest was based of the many benefits of Flexi®-Pave including the Slip Resistance and Non-cracking features offered by the installation of Flexi®-Pave"
