Automatic Flood Barrier System
Water-level sensing raises an electrically powered hydraulic barrier when flooding reaches its set level.
Quoted per site
The Automatic Flood Barrier System uses water-level sensing and an electrically powered hydraulic pump to raise a barrier when the water reaches its configured activation level. Its top can be paved to match the surrounding surface, so when lowered it is concealed in the driveway or sidewalk. It is custom-engineered for unattended sites, underground parking garages and critical infrastructure, with remote and central control available for lowering and reset.
Why this product
Key features
- Automatic water-level sensing at a configured activation threshold
- Electrically powered hydraulic lifting system
- Top can be paved with pavers, stone or tiles to match the surrounding surface, so the lowered barrier is concealed
- Sits in a shallow recess rather than a deep pit, which keeps excavation and site preparation costs low and leaves every part reachable at ground level for maintenance
- Remote control or central control switch for lowering and reset
- Suitable for unattended sites with an appropriate power and control installation
- Custom-engineered to your opening dimensions and site conditions
- Used in residential, commercial and infrastructure projects
