This white paper discusses the deployment of ProFlex™ Style 790 in-line rubber duckbill check valves at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti to enhance stormwater drainage and prevent backflow into the U.S. Navy base’s culvert system. The valves provide passive, corrosion-resistant protection against saltwater backflow, ensuring reliable operation during intense monsoon seasons. Their installation improved the base’s flood resilience, preventing disruptions to mission-critical operations and ensuring long-term, low-maintenance performance.
