Hydrodynamic Passive Flood Barrier
Automatic flood protection powered by the water flow itself — no external power or manual deployment.
The Hydrodynamic Passive Flood Barrier is a fully automatic flood-control gate for locations where mains power and on-site operators may not be available. As water reaches the activation threshold, the flow acts on the gate mechanism and raises the barrier into its water-blocking position. When the water recedes, the barrier gradually returns to its normal flush position under its own weight. It is suited to rivers, drainage outlets, urban pipe networks, vehicle entries and other unattended flood-prone access points.
