Removable flood barriers are a versatile and effective flood protection system that can be easily assembled and disassembled as required. These barriers are designed to provide temporary flood protection, allowing property owners to quickly respond to changing flood threats. They are typically constructed using modular components made from strong materials such as aluminium or steel that can withstand the impact of water and debris.

For easy installation in new buildings, we can provide prefabricated ground plates with integral anchors for removable supports. Alternatively, drilled fixed anchor sockets can be provided for unobtrusive fixing through completed paving.

Plug-in removable flood barriers can be retrospectively installed to suitable existing foundations, in which case load-approved chemically fixed sleeve anchors can be used to attach the removable channel supports.

Custom-designed EPDM seals provide excellent UV and weather resistance, combined with vandal-resistant covers and lockable clamps, making this flood barrier system ideal for sites requiring a semi-permanent installation.

Removable flood barriers can also be customised to fit different openings, such as doorways, windows or around the entire building perimeter. The assembly process is simple and typically involves interlocking panels or frames that can be easily connected and fixed in place. When the threat of flooding subsides, the barrier can be disassembled and compactly stored for future use. This flexibility makes removable flood barriers a practical and cost-effective solution for areas that experience seasonal or occasional flooding, providing reliable protection during droughts while minimizing impact on the surrounding environment.
