Flood Barriers

Flood defence can sometimes inhibit working areas. While fixed, permanent structures can be suitable for many areas, there are times when a comprehensive alternative, that is demountable, allowing for access and free movement when not in play, and flood defence when needed.

Fully Demountable flexibilty and resilient

Aluminium flood barriers that are fully-demountable allowing for clear access when the barriers are not required. A modular design allows the product to be used to protect a wide-range of openings, from individual entrance points to spans stretching hundreds of metres in length.

Designed to your needs

Each flood barrier system we build is designed precisely. Specific loadings and requirements are catered for and incorporated using independent design calculations. Options include security locking clamps to prevent theft after deployment for flood defence.

Easy installation

All design inputs are incorporated into the final product build. Our engineers then install the system’s permanent fittings, leaving a simple setup and demount process when full flood defence is required by the end user.
