Wohr Combiparker 555 withstands the Amphan cyclone

 

In May 2020, the powerful cyclone Amphan lashed India's eastern coast, devastating the city of Kolkata and causing havoc across Bengal, Odisha and Bangladesh. As Amphan lashed the coastal area with ferocious winds up to 260 km/hr, thousands of trees were uprooted, houses flattened, telephone and electricity lines brought down.

However, at a commercial complex in Kolkata, Wohr’s automated car parking system, Combiparker 555, stood tall. A 3-grid and 5-grid system, it was installed in January 2019. When the cyclone Amphan struck on 20th May 2020, this car parking system bore the lashing of deadly winds and torrential rain with unbelievable strength, and remained unaffected while all around, devastation struck.
