[E2News] MORRIS N CO participates in the 2024 Building Maintenance Industry Special Exhibition, prevents flood damage during the rainy season with a Morris flood control barrier


MORRIS N CO will participate in the 2024 Building Maintenance Industry Special Exhibition held at COEX from July 31 to August 3. This event will be held concurrently with Korea Build Week, and pre-registration is available on the website until July 30. 

Every year, flood damage in low-lying areas and underground parking lots continues due to heavy rain during the rainy season. Existing fixed water barriers and sandbags are heavy and take a long time to install, making them unsuitable for disaster situations. This is why flood damage occurs repeatedly every summer.

MORRIS N CO's flood control barrier can be quickly assembled by one person in just a few minutes, allowing for effective response to heavy rain situations in a short period of time. It can completely block water even in the curb area of ​​the building's underground parking lot, making it an essential disaster prevention and disaster product for all buildings. 

Currently, government offices and public institutions are mainly installing fixed water barriers as a flood prevention support project, but the installation method is difficult and maintenance is difficult, so the number of applications for the support project is low. In addition, many places are concerned about the decrease in housing values ​​because they are known to be frequently flooded when fixed water barriers are installed.

To solve these problems, MORRIS N CO developed a movable water barrier that can be used in all buildings around the world after several years of research. It comes in three types: straight, curved, and curved, and can divert or block water according to the terrain. It also has left and right end plates, so it can be installed regardless of the width of the underground parking lot. In particular, the wings attached to the left and right end plates can be used on the curbs of underground parking lots, and are receiving explosive interest from public institutions and commercial buildings.

MORRIS N CO's flood control barrier is easy to assemble and disassemble, and can be stored in an 'L' shape, taking up less space. It is economical as the installation cost is only about 10% of that of a fixed water barrier.

Morris flood control barrier is not only straight but also have internal bends (30°) and external bends (30°), which can be used as water tanks in the event of an electric vehicle fire. If a fire breaks out while charging an electric vehicle in an underground parking lot, it is very difficult to extinguish and the damage is great. If internal bends and linear products are assembled to make a rounded square water tank, electric vehicles that burn for a long time in the event of a fire can be immersed in water and extinguished in a short period of time. In addition, if internal bends and external bends are used to surround manhole covers in heavy rain, backflow can be prevented.

Morris flood control barrier is a 100% domestically manufactured and patented product, and has been supplied in large quantities to domestic government offices, public enterprises, and E-Marts from last year to July of this year, and its quality and effectiveness have been recognized. To date, more than 10,000 units have been sold in Korea alone, recording the highest sales of any mobile water barrier ever. In recognition of its quality and contribution to safety, it received the Safety Contribution Award at the Korea Market Expo in April of this year.

Morris flood control barrier can be installed in any underground parking lot, so it can be used not only in Korea but also anywhere in the world where flood damage is high. The curb-specific water barrier is a patented product that can be used regardless of the curb height, and is gaining attention as an effective product that can reduce damage to life and property these days when flood damage is increasing due to heavy rain caused by climate change.
