Savannah Trims has been designing and supplying architectural building products since 1985 including commercial flood protection since 1998, and is owned and led by former US Army Combat Engineer Gene Kennedy and a staff experienced in commercial architecture and engineering. With the advent of climate change and frequent flooding in many areas, FEMA and the NFIP have been expanding the flood maps to include coastal as well as inland properties and require some form of flood mitigation on new buildings and any older buildings at 50% renovation. Savannah Trims offers a wide range of options including Flood Glass, Flood Doors / Gates, Flood Hatches, Flood Barriers and Flood Louvers with water heights of 27’ and above. Each project has unique specific requirements so we design and test to meet this. Our 25,000 sq ft facility includes an in house testing department consisting of four test tanks and the provisions to perform tests on multiple flood products. |
