Flood Barrier

A lightweight, L-shaped portable dam designed for rapid deployment in flood control, spill containment, and emergency water diversion.

Applications:

Technical Specifications

Lightweight, freestanding flood protection, deployable on any flat solid surface with no ground preparation or structural fixings required.

Barrier Design

Shape: L-shaped, horizontal base + vertical upright panel
Working Principle: Hydrostatic pressure of incoming water anchors barrier via L-base, self-stabilising under flood load
Surface Requirement: Flat, solid surface, concrete or asphalt preferred for optimal seal
Configuration: Freestanding, no ground anchoring, ballast, or tools required

Construction & Material

Material: High-impact ABS plastic (standard) / aluminium available for industrial applications
Panels: Modular interlocking, overlapping edges for watertight joint sealing
Sealing: Rubber/foam sealing strips along base and panel joints
Colour: Red (standard)

Performance

Maximum Water Retention Height: Up to 50 cm per unit configuration
Deployment Speed: Approximately 200 metres per hour by a small team
Reusability: Fully reusable, store flat after drying
Equivalent Sandbag Replacement: Replaces approximately 1,000 sandbags per deployment

Operational Process

Deployment: Layout the empty sleeves in the desired position. If using pneumatic models, initially inflate with air to shape and position the barrier.
Connection: Join segments using the patented link system to achieve the required length.
Filling: Fill the tubes with water from a nearby hydrant or pump. The weight of the water anchors the barrier to the ground
Removal: Once the threat subsides, drain the water, clean, and fold the sleeves for compact storage.
