STAY SAFE FROM FLOODS WITH POSEIDON UP

The Technology Behind Poseidon UP

The Poseidon UP passive flood barrier represents a significant advancement in flood protection. Designed to remain completely hidden when not in use, it integrates discreetly into the landscape or ground surface.

Unlike traditional barriers that require human deployment or external power, the Poseidon UP is always ready. Rising floodwaters alone activate the system; As water enters the barrier housing, the barrier is gently lifted into position, forming an immediate, watertight defence. When floodwaters recede, the barrier is lowered back into its concealed housing, ready for future use. This is flood protection that works passively, silently, and reliably, providing peace of mind to property owners, managers, engineers and communities.

How it works

1

When the flood barrier is open, it features a beautifully designed and robust top face with a specific non-slip finish. Water is free to access from its perimeter or by rising up through the drainage.

2

When the water level exceeds a few centimetres inside the barrier basin, the polyurethane floats passively activate the gas pistons, causing a gradual lifting of the barrier leaf.

3

In just a few seconds, the barrier will be completely closed and vertical. The external floats will also protect the barrier leaf from impacts with any floating objects (such as logs, etc.).
