Temporary Flood Wall Barriers
Boxwall Flood Barriers
Temporary Flood Wall Barriers Products
Boxwall 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.
Boxwall 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, Boxwall units stand firm without any external fastening, even when flooded to their full height; Boxwall flood barrier is anchored by the weight of the flood water itself.
Temporary Flood Walls for flash flooding
Boxwall is particularly useful during flash flooding to control fast flowing water, diverting it away from vulnerable entrances. The Boxwall sections simply sit on the asphalt and divert the water.
Boxwall 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.
Temporary Flood Wall Barriers ARE EASILY DISMANTLED
After the flood, the Boxwall 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.
Temporary Flood Wall Barriers BENEFITS
- Lightweight - can be deployed quickly by a single person.
- Speed - the low weight enables fast deployment - save more property in less time.
- Stable - friction and water pressure ensures flood barrier is stable and well anchored.
