FB-UNITS

Flood Barriers engineered to mitigate against rising flood waters and coastal erosion.

UNRIVALLED, ROBUST CONSTRUCTION TO RELIABLY PREVENT AND MINIMISE THE THREAT OF RISING FLOOD WATERS AND PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN EMERGENCY MARITIME OPERATIONS

PROTECTING WHAT MATTERS IN EVEN THE MOST RIGOROUS OF WEATHER CONDITIONS

FB-UNITS are robust flood protection barriers designed to safeguard personnel, infrastructure, and critical assets from rising floodwaters, coastal erosion and natural disasters.

Manufactured with rigorously tested, high-quality materials, these units ensure durability and reliability. 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.

COMPLETE SEAMLESS PROTECTION

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 create a wall-like barrier at almost any location.

FB-UNITS can be stacked, creating taller barrier systems, to provide additional protection against rising flood waters.

Available in standard and custom sizes to suit different field operations, FB-UNITS provide a flexible and adaptable tool for flood protection.

GREATER EFFICIENCY AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL METHODS

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.

ROBUST, DURABLE CONSTRUCTION

FB-UNITS are made of high-quality materials to ensure durability and effectiveness in protecting against flood waters.

Constructed with zinc-aluminium coated steel and a non-woven geo-textile lining, FB-UNITS can withstand strong waters, mitigating against damage and wear.

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.

These unique features make the FB-UNIT a reliable and robust solution for flood protection.

UNOBTRUSIVE YET EFFECTIVE

FB-UNITS can be used as a long-term preventative measure to protect against ongoing flood risks, such as along river banks.

Incorporating into natural landscapes by planting vegetation and covering FB-UNITS with earth creates a more permanent and aesthetically pleasing flood protection solution that blends seamlessly into the surrounding environment.
