Shortened Recovery and Strengthening Phases
Traditional dikes need time between floods to recover. Shorter intervals disrupt this process, weakening the dikes and increasing the risk of breaches.
Accelerated Erosion and Structural Weakening
Frequent floods speed up erosion, weakening the dikes and raising the risk of catastrophic breaches that can damage infrastructure.
Increased Costs and Financial Burden
Frequent breaches and repairs drive up costs, placing a heavy financial strain on communities and worsening economic challenges.
Rapid Erosion
Dikes made from earth, sand, and clay erode quickly with frequent flooding, leading to stability loss.
Limited Lifespan
These materials often fail under extreme floods, causing breaches and requiring regular replacement.

JUMBO BLOCK® dikes offer significant advantages over traditional earth and sand dikes, particularly in terms of durability and maintenance.
Solid Concrete Blocks
Unlike loose earth materials, JUMBO BLOCK® uses solid concrete blocks, providing greater stability and resistance to erosion and water pressure.
Designed for Extreme Loads
JUMBO BLOCK® modules are engineered to withstand the extreme loads associated with flooding, ensuring reliable protection.
Durable Structure
The robust construction and high-quality materials minimize the risk of cracks and structural weaknesses, common in traditional dikes.
Robust Materials
The concrete blocks are resistant to weathering, requiring less frequent inspections and repairs.
Modular Design
Allows easy inspection and replacement of individual blocks, avoiding the need to renovate the entire dike.
Cost-Effective
Lower maintenance needs translate into reduced long-term costs compared to traditional dikes.
Continuous Protection
Minimized maintenance ensures the dike remains operational with less downtime, providing consistent flood protection.
Summary
JUMBO BLOCK® dikes offer a future-oriented, economical solution for flood protection, with higher durability and lower maintenance needs.
