Partner: NoFloods
Sector: Infrastructure Protection
Region: Europe (Relevant Reference)
Background: In May 2023, severe flooding struck Northern Italy, affecting thousands and placing critical infrastructure—such as data centers—at high risk in the city of Ravenna.
The Challenge: Traditional flood defenses were too slow to deploy. The data center required immediate protection to prevent loss of power, data, and operational continuity during rising water levels.
The Solution: CSG Asia’s partner, NoFloods, deployed its self-activating barrier system—a rubber bladder that automatically fills with floodwater and forms a continuous protection line. With no external power or pumps needed, it was rapidly installed within hours.
Results & Impact:
- Protected multi-million dollar data center assets
- Avoided downtime of critical public infrastructure
- Demonstrated scalable, reusable flood protection
- Serves as a reference deployment for CSG Asia’s flood resilience offerings across urban Asia
