Case study
Hospital campus — overflowed retention basin, 2022
A double-tube line roughly two to three feet high was laid in a curved perimeter along the outer edge of the lot, running through the margin of the overflowing basin. National Guard personnel in uniform worked the line in knee- to thigh-deep water while the barrier was set.
- Facility type
- Hospital / medical campus
- Location
- Monroe — location pending client approval
- Dates
- August 29 – September 2, 2022Working dates — pending confirmation
- Risk profile
- A retention basin or lake bordering the campus overtopping its banks and flooding the parking lot that carries ambulance, staff and utility access.
What the photographs show
The site as it stood.
The photographs show the basin fully overflowed — tree trunks and light-pole bases under water, the outer apron of the lot under several feet — with the lot behind the barrier line dry. A before-and-after frame pairs the inundated area against the held-dry area. The company's project record for 2022 describes water arriving within feet of a doorway on a Level I trauma center, worked with the Florida National Guard, and identifies it as the first active water deployment on the system; matching that record to this site is still open.
Scope of work
- Double-tube alignment curved to the outer edge of the parking lot
- Line set through standing water with National Guard crews working alongside
- Protection of lot access used by ambulances, staff and service vehicles
- Before-and-after documentation of the protected and inundated areas
Setting the line in water: Guard personnel working the alignment in knee-deep floodwater. 
Before and after: inundated ground beside the area the line held dry.
What is still open on this project
Photographs show a deployment. They do not show permission, dates or measured results. Those items are listed here and published the moment the client confirms them.
Open items
- Client permission to name the facility and the city
- Confirmation that the 2022 first-active-water-deployment record belongs to this site
- Whether this was a rain event, a named storm, or a basin failure
- The dates shown are working placeholders, not a confirmed deployment record.
