About FloodFree

Custom Engineered Flood Barriers for Site-Specific Protection

FloodFree is the specialist flood protection division of AWMA Water Control Solutions, an Australian-owned and operated company with more than 25 years’ experience designing, manufacturing and delivering water control and flood mitigation infrastructure across Australia.

With flooding an increasing risk to assets, property, businesses, industrial facilities and critical infrastructure, FloodFree delivers engineered flood barriers, gates and doors designed to reduce flood and storm water ingress, protect people and property, minimise downtime, and strengthen long-term asset resilience against flood risk.

Unlike temporary measures such as sandbags, which are often labour-intensive, slow to deploy and unreliable under real flood conditions, FloodFree barrier systems are purpose-built for each site, including solutions with or without manual intervention, depending on risk profile and operational needs.

Every FloodFree solution is developed through a collaborative engineering process, considering flood warning times, site constraints, flood behaviour, hydraulic loading, access requirements, deployment options and integration with existing infrastructure, ensuring systems are practical, compliant and ready to perform when needed most.

FloodFree provides end-to-end delivery, from early contractor involvement and detailed design through to manufacture, installation, commissioning and ongoing support.

Australian designed and manufactured, FloodFree delivers reliable, site-specific flood protection, built for certainty in uncertain conditions.

the Australian Flood Barrier Guideline

AWMA’s FloodFree team played a leading role in the development of the first Australian Industry Flood Barrier Guideline, working in close collaboration with key industry partners to advance best practice in flood mitigation.

As specialists in engineered flood protection solutions, AWMA played a pivotal role in shaping this comprehensive resource, developed to support both public and private sectors in understanding, selecting and implementing effective flood barrier systems.

Flood barriers have been proven to be a viable and effective solution for reducing flood risk. Reflecting this, the guideline provides critical insights into barrier functionality, design principles, construction considerations, and installation requirements, equipping stakeholders with the knowledge required to make informed, site-specific decisions.

This leadership in guideline development reinforces FloodFree’s position as a trusted partner in flood mitigation.

From early-stage planning through to detailed design and implementation, our team brings the expertise required to deliver tailored solutions that protect people, property, and infrastructure from the impacts of flooding.
