BoxBarrier® - Water versus Water
The BoxBarrier® system uses its opponent, water, to retain high floods and wave overtopping.
Emergency flood systems
Emergency flood systems are required, when the level of the primary flood defence system is not adequate or at locations without flood defence system.
Flood barrier for a large area
With BoxBarrier® you can create a flood barrier for a large area within hours.
Flood frequency is rising
Nowadays floods account for half of all casualties caused by natural disasters, but the frequency and magnitude of flooding is likely to increase for the coming generations.
BoxBarrier Benefits
A few of the many benefits of the BoxBarrier are listed below.
Efficient storage
The compact shape and stackability which facilitate efficient storage and easy transport make BoxBarrier one of the most efficient flood control systems. The BoxBarrier can be stacked up to 20 units high and stored outside.
Easy transport
As the BoxBarrier is light weight and retains water with water, transport of the BoxBarrier can be done by light equipment, like a Quad with trailer or a light weight open boat. This is why Boxbarrier is also an ideal flood barrier for homes.
Quick & easy placement
The placement rate of the BoxBarrier is 100m per hour with a team of 3 men. The water can pumped into the BoxBarrier by using a simple pump: 100 m of BoxBarrier can be filled in one hour by a 30 m3/hr pump.
