Application Overview for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
With the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, outdoor Battery Energy Storage System, (BESS) face significant flood risks. Once floodwater enters a battery compartment, it may cause:
·Cell short circuits
·Triggering of thermal runaway
·Battery module explosions
·Power outages and grid instability
·Safety hazards to personnel and surrounding facilities
These risks make flood protection an essential engineering element for any BESS installation.
FM 2510 Certified Flood Door — Designed Specifically for BESS Flood Protection
Our FM 2510 certified Flood Door system is engineered for outdoor energy storage containers and cabinet-type BESS equipment. It provides high watertight performance, strong structural impact resistance, and rapid deployment capability, serving as the most critical line of defense during disaster preparedness.
FM 2510 International Flood Protection Certification (ANSI/FM Approvals 2510-2020)
The Flood Door has passed the core tests required by the FM standard, including:
·Hydrostatic Pressure Test
Simulates long-term water accumulation and pressure load to verify overall water tightness.
The stringent leakage limit ensures water cannot infiltrate the battery cabin.
·Impact Test
Simulates high-speed impact from floating debris at fixed energy levels to validate structural strength and anchoring reliability.
Ensures the system remains functional under strong currents and debris impact.
FM 2510 is the world’s only international standard that performs complete, system-level testing for flood protection products, and is widely recognized by BESS owners, insurers, and third-party regulatory agencies.
Manual Flood Protection Solution Designed for BESS Cabinets
·Modular sizing: Fits 20 ft / 40 ft energy storage containers, standard BESS cabins, and cabinet-type storage units.
·Flexible installation: Supports external-mount or embedded configurations, suitable for retrofit and new-build projects.
·No impact on daily operations: The door stores on a side-wall bracket without blocking inspection routes, ventilation paths, or maintenance space.
·Fully manual rapid deployment: No power required; door can be secured within 3 minutes—ideal for power outages and emergency scenarios.
·Superior material durability: Stainless steel and aluminum construction withstands battery off-gassing, acid/alkali corrosion, and harsh outdoor environments.
This system allows energy storage sites to quickly establish a reliable waterproof barrier before extreme weather arrives, preventing major losses and system downtime.
Application Overview for Chemical Storage Container
Flooding triggered by extreme climate events also poses serious risks to hazardous chemical storage facilities. Backflowing floodwater may lead to:
·Leakage of acids, alkalis, or organic solvents
·Violent reactions with water-reactive metals
·Release of toxic gases
·Fires or explosions
·Environmental contamination and legal liabilities
Flood resilience for chemical storage containers has become a key indicator for ESG, EHS compliance, and regulatory requirements.
FM 2510 Certified Flood Door — A Reliable External Defense for Chemical Storage Facilities
Our Flood Door system is specifically designed for chemical storage containers and hazardous material warehouses. It features:
·Quick deployment
·Space-saving storage design
·Controlled leakage performance under high water pressure
·High structural impact resistance
·Modular construction enabling fast on-site installation
Backed by FM’s complete third-party testing, it is the ideal solution for enhancing site safety and environmental protection.
International-Level Flood Protection — FM 2510 Certified
The system meets all performance tests required by the ANSI/FM 2510 standard:
·Hydrostatic Pressure Test
Simulates long-term external water pressure to ensure chemicals remain fully isolated from infiltration.
·Impact Test
Simulates impacts from floating logs or debris, verifying the stability and durability of the door panel, frame, and anchoring mechanism.
This certification is the world’s only standard that conducts systematic, multi-scenario testing for flood protection products.
Structural & Functional Design Tailored for Containerized Storage
·Flexible installation: Can be mounted externally or embedded depending on site conditions.
·Rapid deployment: Door can be sealed within 3 minutes before heavy rainfall or flooding.
·No disruption to daily operations: Stores on a side-wall bracket without obstructing hoisting, transport, or internal storage movement.
·High durability: Stainless steel / aluminum materials withstand acidic fumes, salt spray, outdoor UV exposure, and climate variations.
With the FM 2510 certified Flood Door, chemical storage facilities can maintain external barrier integrity during extreme weather, preventing environmental incidents and operational shutdowns.
Conclusion
Whether for BESS or hazardous chemical storage containers, flood intrusion can lead to catastrophic consequences. The FM 2510 certified Flood Door, with its rigorous, verifiable, and internationally recognized testing framework, provides the highest level of protection—helping enterprises ensure safety, regulatory compliance, and operational continuity in an era of extreme climate challenges.
