”In this regard, COWI has proven a strong partner because not only are they experts in flood protection of buildings They are also able to calculate how and how much a flood will develop in a specific location,” he says. To be able to provide that, you need information about the conditions on site and how the flood develops, explains Klaus Gerhard Hansen, Grundfos: The solution calls for quite precise information about the volumes that the well and pumps are to handle. It may seem like a relatively costly solution, but not if you consider the costs of the damage caused by, e.g., repeated floods at Lergravparkens School in Amager,” explains Nielsen. ”In principle, we've developed a solution that can be expanded to handle ever larger volumes of water, if that's relevant.

The model designed for single-family houses handles 2-3 litres a second, whereas the newly engineered pump well handles around 120 litres of water a second. As a result, you do not have to turn off the water after a flood, and to a higher extent, the operation of schools, companies and, for instance, housing associations will be able to continue unaffected by cloudbursts. With the optional crossing pole and liner, this shelter is sturdy enough to take light snow loading and the interior fully separated from condensation. With end to end useable space as well as front and back entrances, the Cloudburst 3 easily accommodates the entire crew.

The pump was inspired by similar solutions applied in single-family houses, which combine a backwater device and a well, from where rainwater under pressure is pumped into the sewer system. Inside the Cloudburst 3, three is definitely not a crowd. So far, the solution has been implemented on a school and a large data central in Copenhagen.

This presents new possibilities of protecting, e.g., large company premises, schools and housing associations in densely built areas, without interrupting the water supply. In case of a cloudburst, the newly developed engineered pump well goes into action, protecting the structure from water penetrating the basement as well as backflow from the sewer network. Cloudburst is a 1951 British crime drama film produced by Hammer Films, directed by Francis Searle, starring Robert Preston and featuring Elizabeth Sellars. In particular in cities, basins pose challenges since they require space, which is not always available,” says Project Manager Jesper Valentin Nielsen, COWI. ”A bypass pump well is an economical and space-saving alternative to rainwater basins, which have grown in number as cloudbursts have become more frequent. COWI and Grundfos has engineered a new, economical and space-saving bypass pump well serving this purpose.Ī recently engineered bypass pump well will help protect large buildings and companies from floods and meet the growing demand for climate-proofing measures with municipalities and companies in Denmark. The increasing risk of floods caused by climate change has led municipalities to search for new solutions for handling growing volumes of water.

So, when the moments do arise when you’re feeling particularly romantic, and you want to ride out those feelings over a few hours gazing into Jude Law’s eyes or cheering on Julia Roberts as she sings Prince in the bathtub, we’ve got you covered. We’re all human, and we all want a happily ever after story, right? And when you are in the mood, nothing could be better than having a good old cry over a fictional couple, or rejoicing when two star-crossed lovers finally end up together. Whether you’re a sucker for romance or not, there’s no denying that once in a while everyone enjoys snuggling up on the sofa, wine glass or coffee in hand, (your choice) and indulging in a film about love, relationships, and passion.
