Flood Control International offers a full design, manufacture and installation service for heavy duty sliding floodgates.
Each sliding flood gate is individually designed for the specific customer’s requirements and can be designed to incorporate automation of closure, locking and monitoring status where needed.
Sliding floodgates incorporate spring wheels to allow an easy sliding operation with the ability to compress seals when in position. Alternatively, inflating seals can be used.
Flood Control International’s flood gates are designed for dependable flood protection whilst maximising access availability. We have a unique design that allows flood gates to be designed to operate on a dead level threshold, allowing unrestricted vehicular, pedestrian and disabled access. This is a game changer in terms of having full flood resilience whilst maintaining operability in sites.
Lightweight aluminium flood gates are available in widths up to 4.5m and flood defence heights up to 1.9m, and our steel floodgates are designed to any size. All flood gates can be automatic and push-button operated if required.
We provide engineering CAD or PDF drawings of all flood gate installations, to ensure they integrate correctly with the whole scheme designed.
