Beyond simply keeping water out, our wall protection works with the structure itself. At the base of a 1m-high wall, flood water exerts around a tonne of pressure, so we review structural integrity for every project against the specified design flood level and seal below finished floor level to resist water being forced up into the building under hydrostatic pressure.
Our silicone-based sealing systems allow existing cabling to stay exactly where it is, with the seal formed around it. Each cable is individually sleeved within the duct, so alterations and new cables can be added with little fuss, as and when required. The seal is both watertight and gas-tight, proven to 1 bar for 24 hours, keeping flood water out while preventing hazardous ground gases building up inside.
To protect wall structures we use a cold-applied, fully-bonded liquid membrane. Seamless, with no laps or joints to fail. It guarantees total water-tightness even under continuous immersion, and flexes with the building to accommodate settlement and movement. Once installed it’s maintenance-free, with a 25+ year life expectancy, and it cures fast enough to be rain resistant within an hour of application.
Every product we make is unique: designed in-house around your needs and backed by independent design calculations. We provide an end-to-end service, from initial risk assessment and design to manufacture, testing and installation. Find out how we can help you deliver your project on time, and on-budget.

The installation of flood defences is one of the most important projects a building or asset is ever likely to ever require. If done properly, it safeguards the operation of the property and potentially saves the considerable cost of recovering from a flood. If done incorrectly, the client is exposed to a range of undesirable scenarios.
