Our 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.
They can be supplied for virtually any configuration including arcs, closed rectangles or circles and straight runs of any length. The portable flood barrier design can be used on slopes up to 20° and can be stepped for steeper gradients.
This makes our stop log flood barrier design ideal for building openings or as a continuous flood wall.
To facilitate installation in new builds, we can supply pre-formed ground plates with integral anchors for the demountable supports. Alternatively, drill and fix anchor sockets can be provided for unobtrusive fixing through finished paving.
The slot-in stop log flood barriers can be retrospectively fitted to suitable existing foundations in which case load certified, chemically fixed sleeve anchors are used to attach the removable channel supports.
Custom designed gaskets that resist silt clogging and reform even after prolonged compression, together with vandal resistant covers and lockable clamps, make this flood barrier system ideal for locations where semi-permanent installation is a requirement.
Each system is load calculated based on application and the prevailing flood conditions and can be configured for flood protection heights up to 13ft. Single spans up to10ft are possible.
A four-sided sealing detail is available for openings that may become fully submerged.
