Automatic Flood Barrier System
Water-level sensing triggers an electrically powered hydraulic barrier when flooding reaches its set level.
The Automatic Flood Barrier System uses water-level sensing and an electrically powered hydraulic pump to raise a barrier when the water reaches its configured activation level. Its top can be paved to match the surrounding surface, so when lowered it is concealed in the driveway or footpath. It is custom-engineered for unattended sites, underground carparks and critical infrastructure, with remote and central control available for lowering and reset.
Why this product
Key features
- Automatic water-level sensing at a configured activation threshold
- Electrically powered hydraulic lifting system
