Key Features and Benefits of Our Reliable Stop Log Flood Barriers
Customisable Dimensions
Our stop log flood barriers are designed to be fully customisable, allowing for precise adjustments in height to meet your specific project requirements. By adding or removing individual logs, you can adapt to varying water levels, ensuring tailored protection for each unique site.
High-Strength Design
Crafted with high-grade aluminium profiles, our stop logs are engineered to withstand significant water pressure and challenging environmental conditions. The design accommodates both strength and flexibility, providing reliable flood protection for urban, industrial, and commercial sites.
Cost-Effective Solution
Our modular, stackable stop log system offers a cost-efficient flood protection solution. By adjusting log sections to your specific needs, you can minimise the number of support elements required, reducing costs without compromising on safety. Additionally, our aluminium stop logs are maintenance-free, resulting in long-term savings.
Secure Fixation and Installation
Stop logs are easily mounted within stainless steel U-members that can be either permanently installed or removable. These U-members provide a secure hold for each log, ensuring stability and safety during high-pressure events. Installation is quick and efficient, requiring minimal manpower and no specialised tools, making deployment smooth and straightforward.
Durable and Corrosion-Resistant
Built to last, our stop logs are manufactured from corrosion-resistant aluminium, offering a long-lasting solution that can endure exposure to river water, seawater, and other harsh conditions. With a design life of over 20 years, they are a sustainable and dependable choice for flood protection.

Technical Specifications: Precision Design and Customisation for Stop Log Flood Barriers
- Log Sections for Stop Logs: Our stop log sections are custom-designed to meet specific length and pressure requirements based on your project’s unique conditions. This flexibility ensures effective flood protection tailored to site demands.
- Supporting U-Members for Stability: The number and size of supporting U-members required depend on the log section’s dimensions and installation needs. These durable U-members secure each log section, providing stability and resilience under high water pressure.
- Foundation Requirements for Secure Installation: Foundation specifications are determined in collaboration with your civil engineering team to ensure secure installation. We assess the soil type and structural needs to guarantee a reliable and robust foundation, delivering optimal flood protection for your site.
Installation: Simple and Efficient Process for Stop Log Flood Barriers
- Foundation Preparation for Stop Logs: Prepare the foundation by embedding U-member supports in concrete or securing them with bolts, based on pre-determined dimensions. This ensures a stable and durable base for the stop log barrier.
- U-Member Installation: Install U-members along the sides of the area to be protected, either as permanent or removable fixtures. These supports securely hold the stop logs in place and allow for quick assembly when flood protection is needed.
- Stop Log Placement: Place the stop logs within the U-members, stacking them according to the required height and pressure specifications. Each log section fits securely, providing a reliable, adaptable flood barrier tailored to the project’s needs.
Mechanical Resistance: Engineered for Robust Performance
Our stop log flood barriers are designed and manufactured to meet rigorous engineering standards for reliability and durability:
- Aluminium Structure Compliance: Each stop log is crafted according to the D.T.U. (Documents Techniques Unifiés) and AL 76 standards for metal frame elements in aluminium, incorporating a standardised safety coefficient to ensure strength and resilience under high water pressure.
- High-Quality Assembly: Stop logs are assembled using TIG/MIG welding techniques, adhering to EN NF 287-2 standards. We utilise stainless steel AISI 316 fasteners to guarantee long-lasting corrosion resistance and durability in challenging environments.
This adherence to established standards ensures that our stop logs deliver reliable flood protection in all conditions.
Sealing Joints: Advanced Sealing Technology for Stop Log Flood Barriers
Our stop log flood barriers feature superior sealing joints designed to minimise leakage risks and provide robust water-tightness.
- Integrated Joint Geometry: The joint design is carefully integrated within the stop log assembly to reduce the likelihood of leaks and ensure a secure fit under high-pressure conditions.
- High-Quality EPDM Material: Made from premium EPDM material and produced through extrusion processes, these joints offer outstanding resistance to:
- Unintentional and repetitive friction, maintaining integrity during frequent use.
- Accidental tears that may occur during handling and deployment.
- Corrosion from prolonged exposure to river water, seawater, wastewater, and other types of water.
- UV aging, protecting the joints from mechanical deterioration due to sunlight exposure.
These sealing joints are built to endure harsh environments, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent performance in flood protection.
