37 Miles. 10 Site Monitors. One Clear Picture.

Earlier this week, the Flood-Con team installed a network of 10 site monitors along a 37-mile highway construction corridor for Brasfield & Gorrie.

With construction spread across that much ground, rainfall at one end of the project doesn’t necessarily tell you what’s happening 20 or 30 miles away.

By distributing monitors throughout the corridor, the project team now has a much better picture of rainfall conditions across the entire job — without relying on a single weather station to represent 37 miles of active construction.

It’s a different application of the technology we use every day, but the goal is the same: better information from the field to make better decisions.

Take a look downstream at one of our sites 10 months after installation.

Since the system went online, it has managed 94 rain events and 35.61 inches of total rainfall. Meanwhile, the downstream area has continued to establish, with healthy vegetation and a well-defined creek bed.

The dense vegetation is especially encouraging to see. A healthy downstream area provides habitat, helps stabilize the soil along the creek, and allows the landscape to continue developing naturally even as it receives runoff from the developed site upstream.

It’s a good example of why we pay attention to more than just what happens inside the detention pond. How water leaves the site—and the condition of the environment receiving that water—matters too.

From a nearly frozen detention pond in Ohio to a retrofit under the Florida sun in Sarasota, no two stormwater challenges look exactly the same.

Different climates. Different site constraints. Different water-control needs.

Flood-Con’s Automated Outlet Structure is designed to adapt to the conditions and hydrology of each site—whether it’s a new development, an existing pond retrofit, or a completely different approach to managing stormwater.

These five installations may look very different, but they share the same goal: smarter, more responsive control of stormwater when and where it matters.

Active control. Better outcomes.

Last week, Flood-Con installed our 10th Automated Outlet Structure (AOS) in the state of Tennessee, this time in Gallatin.

That milestone reflects a broader shift in how stormwater systems are designed—an Automated Outlet Structure is more than a gate that opens and closes based on water level.

Flood-Con’s patented AOS is designed to understand the storm as it develops—using real-time rainfall data, hydrograph development, and site-specific pre-development hydrology to continuously determine how water should be released.

That distinction matters.

During high-intensity or back-to-back storm events, runoff conditions can change rapidly. The AOS adapts in real time to manage the detention facility while maintaining allowable discharge based on pre-development conditions.

And the intelligence doesn’t stop when the storm does.

Every Flood-Con AOS includes:

• 24/7 system monitoring
• Daily automated diagnostics
• Access to storm-event performance data
• Routine field inspections and ongoing maintenance
• Predictive control capabilities using forecast rainfall data
• PE-stamped design, manufacturing, installation, and support
• Lifetime warranty option

The result is more than automated stormwater control. It’s a complete system designed to reduce required detention storage, improve flood protection, and deliver measurable value throughout the life of the project.

We’re proud to see another AOS joining our growing network of intelligent stormwater infrastructure across Tennessee.

Stormwater control shouldn’t just react to water levels. It should understand the storm.

When nature puts your equipment to the test, performance speaks louder than specifications.

This Flood-Con Site Monitor has been in service for 7 years. During a recent storm, large trees and debris were carried downstream and slammed into our depth sensor.

Despite the impact, the system remained fully operational.

Stormwater infrastructure doesn’t get to choose the conditions it works in. It has to perform through floods, debris, and years of continuous exposure.

That’s why we build our monitoring systems for long-term reliability—not just installation day.

Designed for the conditions you expect. Built to withstand the ones you don’t.

When we talk about stormwater, it's easy to focus on rainfall totals.

2.76 inches of rain.

But what does that actually mean?

During this single storm event, more than 263,000 gallons of water passed through one Flood-Con AOS. That's over 2.2 million pounds of water—managed autonomously in real time as conditions changed throughout the storm.

To put that into perspective, that's roughly equivalent to:
💧 13 backyard swimming pools
🚛 55 fully loaded concrete mixer trucks
🚒 351 fire engines filled with water

Every storm tells a story. Behind the scenes, our systems are continuously monitoring rainfall, water levels, and flow conditions to make real-time decisions that help protect downstream infrastructure and waterways.

Sometimes the most impressive part of stormwater management isn't what people see—it's what never happens because the system responded when it mattered most.

It’s getting harder to find good help these days…

Fortunately, this applicant didn’t even ask about salary.

We caught our newest employee checking out one of our systems during the night shift, and we’d like your help naming our newest hire.

Leave your ideas in the comments.

This Independence Day, we’re taking a moment to wish our clients, partners, and communities a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.

Thank you to everyone who helps design, build, and maintain the infrastructure that keeps our communities resilient every day.

From all of us at Flood-Con, Happy Fourth of July—and have a safe weekend.

Your stormwater system shouldn’t be installed and forgotten.

At Flood-Con, we believe long-term performance requires long-term support. That’s why we offer ongoing service options to help ensure your Automated Outlet Structure (AOS) continues operating when you need it most.

Whether you choose an Annual Inspection Program or the added peace of mind of our Lifetime Warranty, our team is committed to keeping your system performing as designed—year after year.

Because smart stormwater management doesn’t end after installation.

From less than a foot of water to more than 7 feet in a matter of minutes.

This image was captured at 8:59 PM during a storm event on June 7 while a Flood-Con Automated Outlet Structure (AOS) was actively responding to rapidly changing site conditions.

Just minutes before this photo, water depth behind the gate exceeded 7 feet. At the time of the image, the AOS was still holding back more than 5.7 feet of water while maintaining controlled discharge downstream.

No manual intervention. No emergency response. Just real-time stormwater control performing exactly as designed.

When peak flows arrive, adaptive infrastructure matters.
