Flood Control International is now a distributor for INERO™ Flood Barriers, for the UK, USA, India, Australia and Ireland.
The flood barrier sections, support legs and foot beams are made from marine-grade aluminum for seawater resistance. The material has high durability and withstands extremely tough outdoor conditions. The sections are erected using a sturdy aluminum support leg with a conical foot beam. The unique shape of the foot beam, combined with the integrated gripping teeth, guarantees extra stability and an optimal grip on all sorts of substrates.
The sections interlock using a patented quick connector to form a continuous, flexible barrier that adapts to all common substrates, such as concrete, grass, gravel and asphalt. They can also be curved 90° through the use of corner sections. The flood barriers stop and withstand both standing and rushing water and can be assembled directly in the water as long as the water level is no more than 1ft.
INERO™ flood barriers are easy to assemble, even with no previous knowledge. Assembly of the Inero system is easy and can be done with 2 people. Once the barrier position is marked out, the support legs are fixed into the first section. More sections and legs are then connected together ensuring they are correctly interlocked before folding them back.
The polyethylene membrane is then rolled out along the barrier and fixed with clips. The membrane must be anchored firmly to the ground using loose gravel or similar material.
Six people can install 100 yards of complete barrier in less than an hour.
