Salt Lake County was facing a significant threat of flooding due to overflowing creeks caused by rapid snowmelt and heavy rain. With neighborhoods at risk there was a growing sense of urgency to put in preventative measures that would protect homes and infrastructure. Because of the sudden timing of the situation, the county needed to find a flood protection solution that was quick to deploy, flexible, and able to adjust to constantly changing circumstances. While expecting flood events, county professionals did not exactly know where the overflow and breeches would occur further highlighting the need for a system that could be rapidly deployed and able to adjust to the specific area and changing flood scenarios.
