Some places in the UK can’t be developed because of the risk of seasonal flooding, however, people live where it is necessary, therefore, experts have long pondered on how you can work around not too pleasant climatic conditions.
And now, the firm Larkfleet Group has created a system of Elevating House.
In order to understand the meaning of Elevating House about need to imagine for your home. Any house for permanent residence the Foundation and the Foundation are closely linked with piles, which is also part of the Foundation, and base. In regions where there are frequent cases of flooding where the permanently frozen ground, where the ground is loose — the Foundation is raised on piles, in other words, the house stands on stilts. Again, it would be possible to resolve this matter with the territories of the United Kingdom construction of pile houses, but the houses on stilts are short-lived and the pile is not very high raise building.
Elevating the House also proposes to raise the building on piles in the season of inundation. That is, in the day time is an ordinary three bedroom house, for small family on a typical Foundation, but if the rains are delayed and the river overflowed, the house is raised half a meter above the ground. It should be noted that the lifting system works in the case if the weight of the house with all things does not exceed 65 tons. The lifting mechanism is triggered in only five minutes, because the house and its Foundation with the floor can be saved in a safe position relative to the water, even if if there is a river whose level rose suddenly.
The system is still one problem. The owner of this house on stilts to stay, as it upsets the balance of the house and it can be dangerous. Because the flooding, people will have to leave home, but it will not be necessary on arrival to reinstall all the equipment and to repair the house.
