There are many types of flood barriers, such as retaining board flood barriers, glass flood walls, flip-up flood barriers, and drop-down flood barriers. These flood barriers can also be modified to be used as chemical spill control barriers.

Flood barrier designs vary from simple plug-in retaining board flood barriers to automatic flood barriers that operate only when needed. Flood heights can reach up to 13 feet, and the length of the floodwall system is unlimited.

Retaining board flood barriers

Our removable retaining board flood barriers are designed to provide a similar level of protection as permanent flood protection facilities, but with the advantage of being completely removable when not needed.

They can be used in almost any configuration, including arcs, closed rectangles or circles, and straight lines of any length. Portable flood barrier designs can be used on slopes up to 20° and can be stepped for steeper slopes.

This makes our retaining board flood barrier designs ideal for building openings or as a continuous flood wall.

Glass Floodwalls

Our glass floodwall barriers are made with high-strength structural glass and engineered frames to withstand static and impact loads. The design features a structural anchoring system and special seals, making it a waterproof and impact-resistant glass floodwall.

This flood protection solution requires no operational input and creates minimal visual disruption where flood protection is needed.

Flip-Up Flood Barriers

To facilitate pedestrian and vehicular access, flip-up flood barriers are completely recessed into the ground when not in use.

Activation can be done manually with a button or automatically with a sensor trigger. Flip-Up Flood Barriers can be designed with a standard flood height of 6.6 feet and up to 40 feet in length. However, flip-up flood barriers can be connected together to form a continuous flood barrier.

Pull-Down Flood Barriers

When not in use, the pull-down flood barriers are unobtrusively placed above the top of the opening, ready to be put

Automatic sensors (with manual controls) operate the flood barrier when flood waters rise, or full control is achieved with push-button operation. These flood barriers are an efficient and reliable flood protection measure.
