Applications
The BoxBarrier can be used for various applications.
Barriers, like dikes and levees
The origin of floods can be either overflow of rivers and canals due extensive rain fall or melting snow water in particular area. Normally rivers and canals are embedded with shores, quays or dikes, which prevent overflow. In case of high river discharges due to the melting of snow or rainfall the height of the dike or shore is not sufficient and temporary heightening of dike/shore is required to prevent flooding of the hinterland.
Protection of vital infrastructure
Logistics are vital for the supply of the economy, so the permanent availability of infrastructure such as airports, motorways and railways is of high importance.
Flood barriers for homes
Businesses and home owners can also protect their property their selves by installing the BoxBarrier flood barrier around their property. BoxBarrier and a mobile pump can be stored efficiently in the property or close by the property.
Not only private properties can be protected by the flood barrier, but also public properties such as schools, libraries, museums, galleries, churches, castles and other national and local heritage. The BoxBarrier® is one of the best flood barriers of protecting homes and other real estate.
Protection of urban areas
Especially in urban areas heavy rainfall can lead to flooding, because large areas are paved and the drainage system cannot handle all the access water. Terraced houses, shops and other businesses can be protected easily with the installation of the BoxBarrier.
