In minor storm events, drains may convey stormwater, but during intense rainfall, tidal effects, storm surge or overland flow, water levels can rise quickly and threaten nearby properties, basement car parks and access ramps. The problem: Properties along roadways, driveway entries and basement access ramps can be exposed to fast-rising floodwater. The solution: The Flow Defence self-activating flood barrier uses buoyancy to rise from a concealed underground chamber when floodwater reaches the activation level. The system is designed to remain passive during normal conditions and activate only when required.
