Invisible Flood Protection

During a recent trip to sites around Sydney we stopped to inspect this FloodFree Passive Tilting Flood Barrier.
Note the dark grey non-slip epoxy strip across this walk-thru area is an invisible self-actuating tilting flood barrier. Any water ingress, flows into the adjacent strip drain. Once water reaches a certain height the 9.9m wide barrier rises to prevent water entering the building entrance. This building also features a 6.6m wide passive tilting flood barrier at the entrance to the basement car park. Once the water subsides the barrier receeds leaving the building operational, with no clean-up or downtime required. You will notice both the side panels and the top of the barrier can be customised to match the aesthetics of the surrounding infrastructure, as they are here.
