Flex-Gate Stairwell Helps to Prevent Flood at Underground Places
When the rains fall heavily, it will not close the possibility of flooding in any vital places, such as the underground station, underground parking or any underground place. That's why it needs a strategy to prevent flooding in some places that are underground.
For Indonesia, a flood prevention strategy from the presence of high rainfall really needs to be prepared in detail and always learn from the previous flood disaster experiences. This strategy needs to be prepared carefully and takes a long time, even before the building or place is built. Because Indonesia can be hit by rain every year, it is very prone to the presence of floods every year as well too.
Especially for several cities in Indonesia, like the capital city of Indonesia, Jakarta. As we know, Jakarta is a city that is often hit by floods every year. As a metropolis city, flooding will certainly disrupt some activities, for example, when we want to go to work or school, but due to the flooding, it causes very bad traffic jams in many road areas.
To avoid and prevent us from being late at work or school because of the traffic jams, is to use the alternative transportation, which doesn't need to deal with the traffic jams, the train, which happens to have several stations underground.
