TILTING FLOOD BARRIER

Tilting Flood Barriers are permanently installed, self-actuating flood barriers. They require minimal depth, sitting flat to tilt upwards via floatation to meet the flood level specified.

Tilting Flood Barrier Flyer

Passive Tilting Flood Barriers operate on buoyancy principles to ensure the flood barrier automatically rises as flood waters rise, providing 24/7 flood protection.

FEATURES

Tilting Flood Barriers may be Actuated (Electric or Hydraulic) or Passive.
Fabricated from marine grade aluminium.
Designed for strength, high corrosion resistance and long asset life.
Low maintenance design.
Fully trafficable.
Excellent sealing.

APPLICATIONS

Commercial and Industrial Entrances
Loading docks
Residential driveways
Basement entrances
Building entry
Car parks
Lift wells
Storage facilities

SIZE

Minimum height 500mm, plus 250mm increments up to 1500mm.
Non-standard, lower profiles are available on application.
Alternative heights available subject to AWMA engineering approval.

DESIGN SUPPORT

All FloodFree flood protection barriers are purpose-designed, engineered and manufactured.
Project partners receive full design support to ensure the product delivered will be engineered and certified to withstand site specific worse case scenarios for expected flood water height, debris loading, deployment times etc. Design considerations include the condition of the nominated site, with options for greenfield and brownfield sites.
Optional extras for automated systems include battery charged backup systems (to ensure flood protection during power black-outs), warning lights and SMS alarms.

INSTALLATION

Full installation service is provided.

OPERATION

Tilting Flood Barriers may be Passive or Actuated;

• Passive Tilting Flood Barriers deploy automatically, using principles of buoyancy to ensure barriers raise ahead of flood waters. The passive flood barrier will deploy and retract as required, without any human interaction, providing complete peace of mind.

• Powered Tilting Flood Barriers use level sensors to deploy the tilting flood barrier as required, with the additional advantage of manual and/or local control.
