Flood Control International offers a huge range of flood barriers to ensure the right flood solution is provided: Stop-Log Flood Barriers, Glass Flood Walls, Flip-up Flood Barriers, Drop-Down Flood Barriers and Self-Closing Flood Barriers. With enhancement, these flood barriers also perform as Chemical Spill Containment Barriers.
The flood barrier design varies from a simple slot-in stop-log flood water barrier to automatic flood barriers that operate only when required. Flood protection heights up to 13 ft and unlimited lengths of flood wall systems are possible.
Automatic flood barriers can operate to self-raise with the rising flood water, or be push button operated so that the flood barrier can be operated in advance of floods with full peace of mind. They can also be manually operated as required.
We provide engineering CAD or PDF drawings of all installations ensuring they integrate correctly with the whole scheme design where required.
Removable Stop Log flood barriers are engineered to provide similar levels of protection to permanent flood defenses, but with the advantage of being fully removable when not required.
These simple yet efficient flood barriers slot into fixed channel posts and can be supplied for virtually any configuration and length, with flood protection heights of up to 13ft.
Our glass flood wall barriers are made from high strength structural glass and engineered frames that withstand static and impact loads. The design uses structural anchoring systems and special sealing making it a watertight and impact resistant glass flood wall.
This flood defense solution requires no operational input and causes minimal visual intrusion where flood protection is required.
In order to provide unrestricted access to pedestrian and vehicle entrances, the flip-up flood barrier is fully recessed in to the ground when not in use.
Activation is done either manually by a push button or automatically when triggered by sensors. Flip-up flood barriers can be engineered to rise up to flood defence heights of 6.6ft as standard and up to lengths of 40ft. However, flip-ups can be linked together to form a continuous length of flood defense.
When not in use the drop-down flood barrier is unobtrusively located above the top of the opening, ready to be lowered at a moment’s notice.
Automatic sensors (with manual override) can operate the barrier with rising floodwaters, or push button operation for complete control. These flood barriers are an efficient, dependable flood defense.
INERO’s patented flood barriers offer a flood protection solution that is lightweight, simple to use and quickly deployed. Primarily designed to provide flood defences for wide areas, the flood barriers can withstand water levels up to 5ft.
FloodClip is a freestanding temporary flood barrier designed for fast response to flood threats in an urban environment, on hard and even surfaces like tarmac, paving and concrete. It is very fast to deploy and works straight out of the box.
