Two hours after the call we were there!

Two hours after the call, we were on site In January and February 2020, water levels in the Lagan River rose sharply. The media reported that more rain was on the way and SMHI warned of high current speeds where vulnerable environments, people and properties could suffer serious damage. At C3C, it was predicted that the relevant authorities in the area around Ljungby would soon need equipment that could stop any flooding. “We started to prepare ourselves, and after about 24 hours, the Rescue Service in Ljungby called and said they needed our help to protect properties along the Lagan River,” says Erik Jansson, project manager at C3C Engineering. 75-meter-long wall C3C's installers were on site two hours after the call with an excavator, two crane trucks and blocks. The blocks were built into a 75-meter-long and 1.2-meter-high wall some distance from the properties that were at risk of being affected. – The rescue services were mainly concerned that a power dam would burst and create a tidal wave in Lagan. If that had happened, there would have been a great risk that water would penetrate properties. The water could also have been contaminated, says Erik Jansson. Gradually, the water levels dropped again and the risk of an accident decreased. The wall remained standing for two weeks before C3C dismantled the blocks and drove them back to one of C3C's storage locations. Some time later, the incident was evaluated. – Both the rescue services and the people from the Armed Forces who were on site were satisfied with the help they received from us, and that help was available so quickly and so close by,
