Glass flood wall with steel posts on a concrete base beside a car park and suspension bridge

Smart and resilient

Our flood glazing system is a sealed glass panel fixed inside a unique aluminium frame, built to withstand the forces of nature. Laminated glass made to withstand impact combined with highly corrosion resistant framing, our glazing systems will hold the force of water at bay, without a drop getting through.

 

Designed to your needs

Each flood glazing barrier we build is designed precisely. Specific loadings and requirements are catered for and incorporated using independent design calculations. Options available include fully hidden fixings, branded glass and can be made to be either semi-permanently or permanently fixed.

 

Designed and Installed by experts

The complete solution from concept through to installation, our engineers create, build and then install a glazing  system using an innovative glass-suction robot. We look after everything.

Three Key Steps For Any Flood Defence Project

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.
