Duncan Flood Event – Lessons Learned
Public Safety Department
Building up the existing dike along Beverly Street
Nanaimo Fire Services Presentation June 2010
The massive effort to stop the flood waters flowing into a dense neighbourhood
Initial Low Dike building on roadway• Long rolls of heavy duty poly laid down along
roadway on the side the water is coming from• Use cement truck full of sand to run the
course and lay a 1 – 2 foot “bead” of sand the length of the poly
• Fold poly up and over on both sides• Place regular sandbags every two feet to keep
poly sealed
Nanaimo Fire Services Presentation June 2010
Initial Dike complete, pumping begins and a rainbow gives us hope
Developing a more secure dike to get us through the winter
Filling the gaps – to save time, just fold under the tops of the sandbags
Time to call it a day?
Thank you!
