FB-Units are robust flood protection barriers designed to safeguard personnel, infrastructure, and critical assets from rising floodwaters, coastal erosion and natural disasters.
Trusted by organisations worldwide, FB-Units offer an effective solution to mitigate the damaging effects of floods and other natural disasters, ensuring the safety and security of personnel, assets, infrastructure and essential resources.
FB-Units can operate individually or as a multi-chain barrier system, easily and quickly linking together to create a continuous protective chain.
FB-Units are available in standard and custom sizes to suit different field operations and can be stacked to create taller barrier systems, providing a flexible and adaptable tool for flood protection.
FB-Units can be used as a long-term preventative measure to protect against ongoing flood risks, such as along river banks and be incorporated into natural landscapes by planting vegetation to create a more permanent and aesthetically pleasing flood protection solution that blends seamlessly into the surrounding environment.
Providing savings on logistics, installation and labour, FB-Units can be assembled by two personnel, even those with limited training, in less than 30 minutes, providing a convenient and practical solution for organisations to quickly and effectively protect against flood risks.
FB-Units are manufactured using rigorously tested, high-quality materials to ensure durability and reliability against strong flood threats.
Constructed with zinc-aluminium coated steel and a non-woven geo-textile lining, each FB-Unit can be filled with natural materials, like earth or sand, to maintain structural integrity when facing rising, fast-moving, and debris-filled waters.
