Community Flood Protection

AWMA are continually working with project partners to supply Flood Barriers for Community Flood Protection.

AWMA is an Australian owned and operated company. The FloodFree range of barriers are designed and manufactured in northern Victoria, servicing the Australian, New Zealand and Asia Pacific regions.

FloodFree barriers are currently being installed Australia-wide to protect levee access points where there are breaks in levees for roads, footpaths, rail crossings etc. These barriers increase the towns flood resilience, providing protection for residential, commercial and community areas.

As pictured, demountable flood barriers have end posts and in-ground footings permanently installed. Upon the threat of a flood event, storage racks of barrier segments and posts are deployed to site and manually installed, to protect levee access points.

In addition to the manual demountable barriers, the FloodFree range includes self-deploying Concealed (pop-up) Barriers, Tilting Barriers (self-actuating or automated), Swing Barriers and Flood Doors. This range of solutions complements flood mitigation plans, to provide temporary or permanent barriers that protect property, assets and townships from water inundation.
