Key Features and Benefits of our Robust Demountable Flood Barriers
Customisable Dimensions
Each section of our flood barriers is fully customisable to meet specific design criteria and fit any project requirements. Configurations include arcs, closed rectangles, circles, or straight runs of any length.
Optimised and Flexible Design
Our barriers can be configured to any geometry and are load-calculated to match the prevailing flood conditions. Precision engineering ensures stability and reliability, tailored to the exact length, pressure, and stress factors required.
Cost-Effective Solution
By using optimised log sections, we reduce the need for additional supporting elements, making the system more economical without compromising on protection. With maintenance-free materials, our barriers offer long-term savings and hassle-free ownership.
Lightweight and Rapid Deployment
Crafted from lightweight materials, our barriers allow for quick, one-person installation for rapid deployment in urgent flood situations. Entirely removable, they leave a flat, unobstructed ground surface when not in use.
Durable Materials for Long Life
Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials suited for marine and corrosive environments, our barriers are built to withstand exposure to river water, seawater, and harsh weather conditions, guaranteeing a long lifespan with minimal maintenance.
High Performance and Reliability
Engineered to meet international standards, our barriers offer very low leak rates (less than 3 liters per hour per square meter) and high resistance, ensuring exceptional performance even under challenging conditions.
Technical Specifications and Secure Installation
Our engineering team collaborates closely with civil engineers to evaluate foundation requirements and stress on supporting beams, ensuring a solid and secure installation. This approach provides a reliable solution with a precisely calculated load capacity.
Sustainable and Corrosion-Free
Our barriers are designed to remain corrosion-free for over 20 years, ensuring sustainability and lasting flood protection.

Mechanical Resistance: Robust Engineering Standards
All our equipment is designed and manufactured according to:
- The calculation and manufacturing rules for “metal frame” elements in aluminum as dictated by D.T.U. (Documents Techniques Unifiés) and AL 76, with a standardised safety coefficient.
- Assembly procedures by TIG/MIG welding according to EN NF 287-2 standards, using stainless steel AISI 316 fasteners.
Sealing Joints: Superior Sealing Technology
- The geometry of the joints is integrated into our assembly range to minimize the risk of leakage.
- The quality of the EPDM material and the manufacturing process by extrusion ensure exceptional resistance of the joints against:
- Unintentional and repetitive friction.
- Accidental tears (e.g., during handling).
- Corrosion from contact with river water, seawater, or other types of water (e.g., wastewater).
- UV-induced aging that deteriorates their mechanical properties.
