SWING FLOOD BARRIER

Designed for sites needing permanent, reliable flood protection, these hinged barriers swing into position to provide immediate flood protection. They can be deployed manually or with optional actuation systems, ensuring protection while maintaining everyday site access.

Swing Flood Barriers are designed to seal openings in existing structures, to be deployed prior to flood events. They can be custom-designed to provide partial or full-perimeter sealing, depending on site requirements. When not in use, they remain unobtrusive, maintaining normal access and operations. Engineered for durability and reliable performance, they accommodate rising water levels, debris impact and hydrostatic loads to the designed flood level. Barriers can be manually operated or fitted with optional actuation systems. All barriers are custom-designed to suit site-specific requirements, including basements, car parks, pedestrian access points and utility areas.

Why Use Swing Flood Barriers?

Robust, Durable Construction
Manufactured for strength and long-term durability, stainless steel frames are engineered for face-mount installation to new or existing structures, including buildings, levees, and other infrastructure. Seals are made from UV-stabilised materials to ensure reliable, long-term performance.

Flexible Deployment Options
Barriers can be deployed manually by a single operator or via optional actuated systems. Manual locking mechanisms secure the barrier firmly in position, with bespoke latches or handle assemblies available to suit site-specific requirements. On-seating and off-seating designs allow the barrier to be tailored for varying flood pressures and scenarios.

Maintains Access and Functionality
Under normal conditions, the barrier remains open, allowing unrestricted pedestrian or operational access. During flood events, the barrier is deployed to swing into position and lock, forming a reliable flood protection barrier.

Custom-Engineered for Each Site
Each barrier is purpose-designed to meet site-specific requirements, including expected flood height and duration, debris loading and site constraints. Solutions are available for both greenfield and brownfield applications, ensuring integration with surrounding infrastructure. Swing Flood Barriers are suitable for basement and car park entries, pedestrian access points and doorways, lift wells and lift lobbies, storage and utility rooms, utility boxes and access hatches, ventilation outlets, bunds and levees and other service areas.

Reliable, Trusted Performance
FloodFree barriers are designed and manufactured in accordance with ISO certified quality, safety and environmental management systems. Documentation is provided to support correct operation, inspection and servicing, helping assets remain in optimal condition throughout their lifecycle.
