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 can be extended to an unlimited length.
FloodClip is available in two heights and is able to divert flood water up to 0.75m of water, and is extremely lightweight and easy to deploy. Although the weight of each box section is light, from under 4kg, FloodClip units stand firm without any external fastening, even when flooded to their full height; FloodClip flood barrier is anchored by the weight of the flood water itself.
FloodClip is particularly useful during flash flooding to control fast flowing water, diverting it away from vulnerable entrances. The FloodClip sections simply sit on the asphalt and divert the water.
FloodClip is built up by slotting together any number of box sections. The flexible ± 3° coupling makes it possible to create curves, but it is also possible to make inward and outward corners using specific corner pieces.
After the flood, the FloodClip units are easily dismantled and can be cleaned using a garden hose. The box sections are stackable, which means they require very little space to store and are easy to transport.
