Case Study: Serpent® Inflatable Flood Barriers For Steamboat Springs - Colorado

CLIENT: Steamboat Springs Resort, nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, is a premier destination for winter sports enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers. Known for its legendary snow, the resort boasts over 2,900 acres of skiable terrain, catering to all skill levels with 169 diverse trails and 18 chairlifts. The charming, ski-in/ski-out mountain village combines modern amenities with a warm, rustic atmosphere, featuring a variety of lodging options, dining establishments, and boutiques. CHALLENGE: On the Steamboat Springs Resort property, some of the employee housing is located in a low lying area adjacent to the Yampa River. The resort faced a potential flooding challenge after having an above average year of snowfall. The mixture of potential snow melt and proximity to the river was feared to combine to create a flood threat that could detrimentally affect the block of employee housing. During over average snowpack seasons, the overwhelming amount of melting snow can cause already high water levels in rivers to overflow, as there isn’t sufficient significant river capacity to handle the volume of water. SOLUTION: Our solution for the Steamboat Springs employee housing property was Garrison’s Serpent® Inflatable Flood Barrier System. This system is constructed from durable, high-strength, welded PVC material. The snake-like tubes are inflated with air, allowing them to be stored deflated but when inflated, they offer up to 40” of flood protection. Their light weight makes them easy to position and sections can be connected to create larger flood berms, using a velcro backed seaming strip that attaches to the ends of two Serpent® flood tubes.
