TILTING FLOOD BARRIER (Actuated)
Designed for high-risk sites that require operator-controlled flood barrier deployment, these electrically or hydraulically actuated barriers tilt up with the push of a button. This allows operators to deploy the system before floodwaters reach the barrier, giving site managers full control over timing while maintaining safety and operational access.
Actuated Tilting Flood Barriers provide robust, site-specific protection for critical assets. Electric or hydraulic actuation enables rapid, controlled deployment, while custom designs accommodate trafficable and low-profile configurations to maintain normal pedestrian, vehicle, or heavy-traffic operations. Optional surface coatings include non-slip epoxy or paving, which can be applied to suit operational and aesthetic requirements.
Actuated barriers include a control cabinet with built-in redundancy, push-button controls and can be integrated with an alarm system. These barriers are ideal for entrances, driveways, basements, car parks, lift wells, and other critical access points where rapid, operator-controlled response is essential.
Why Use Actuated Tilting Flood Barriers?
Manual, Operator-Controlled Deployment
Actuated Tilting Flood Barriers deploy on demand via push-button control, allowing activation well before floodwaters arrive. Local control enhances safety by minimising the risk of entrapment during barrier movement.
Permanent, Reliable Flood Protection
Permanently installed, these barriers are always ready to provide effective flood protection, safeguarding critical assets while maintaining operational access without requiring demanding human intervention.
Trafficable and Functional Design
Actuated barriers are engineered to accommodate pedestrian, vehicular, or heavy traffic as required to maintain normal site operations. Minimal pit depth and optional non-slip epoxy or paving surface coatings allow integration into existing infrastructure, making them suitable for both retrofit and greenfield projects.
Durable, Low-Maintenance Construction
Manufactured for long-term performance, FloodFree Actuated Tilting Flood Barriers are corrosion-resistant and engineered to withstand repeated deployment under demanding conditions. Optional protective surface coatings extend longevity and improve safety. Low whole-of-life maintenance ensures cost-effective, long-term operation even in high-frequency or critical applications.
Custom-Engineered for Each Site
Every Actuated Tilting Flood Barrier is purpose-designed to meet site-specific requirements. Systems are engineered and certified to withstand worst-case flood scenarios, including anticipated water height and debris loadings. Applications include loading docks, driveways, basements and below-ground entrances, building entry points, car parks, lift wells and storage facilities.
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.
