Passive Barriers in-situ
Activated by the incoming flood water so you are guaranteed the barriers will deploy and save your property

Automatic flood barriers are activated by the flood water but require a power supply to drive them closed. Make sure this power supply is uninterruptible.
Property Level Barriers
A range of manually deployed barriers to protect any property type from slow rising flood waters. Cost effective, but not suitable for flash flooding.
Flood Glass Walls & Windows
Flood windows and walls are passive systems that are always ready to protect from rising flood water and debris impact, whilst maintaining the view.

Below, follows a range of flood barrier types ranging from manual and passive through to automatic, and normally closed. These are all summarized in the matrix at the foot of the page, along with a number of use cases.
In amongst these flood barriers are a range of important ancillary devices such as non-return valves (NRVs), and pumps that are essential for managing sewer backflow and the seepage or overtopping of the flood barriers, in extreme events.
Passive Horizontal rising barriers
Top of underground parking
Commercial setting
Raised for cleaning & inspection
Passive Vertical Rising Barriers
Resting Position
In non-flood conditions, all operational parts of the barrier are concealed in the underground basin.
Deploying
When floodwater rises to within a predetermined level below flood level, the basin housing the floating wall starts to fill up through an inlet pipe from the adjacent service pit.
Fully Deployed
The flood wall floats and rises. When the basin is totally filled, the angled support block will lock the barrier into position making it watertight.
