Features
The success of this urban flood dike can be attributed to the simple yet ingenious concept of using the approaching waters to fight the floods. The force of the floodwater automatically raises the barrier and protects the hinterland.
- Permanent standby (deploys just prior to threat of floodwater)
- No human intervention nor electricity needed
- Mobile (selfclosing) floodbarrier
- Minimal maintenance – lifespan of minimal 50 years
- Tailor made in all/continuous lengths
- No prior warning system needed
- Invisible when not in use
