Geodesign Barriers

How do temporary flood barriers work?

Our temporary flood barriers were engineered to serve as effective protection against flood waters in various stages. These barriers can be set up, taken down and stored for reuse, making them a sustainable and smart option for climate protection. The barriers should always be deployed by our manufacturer guidelines to make sure they are as effective as possible.

Are flood barriers expensive?

When working out the cost of flood barriers, you need to take into account their lifetime cost instead of the once-off expense. When you weigh up the cost of the barriers (purchase and maintenance) against the cost of flood damage, it offers some perspective.

How do Geodesign flood barriers work?

Wherever and whenever you need them, Geodesign flood barriers are temporary climate protection structures that can minimize the impact of floods and maintain their form. Their core structure comprises extra-strong, interconnected A-frames made of long-lasting, galvanized steel with aluminum panels. The angled frames use water pressure, coupled with ground friction, to anchor the barrier.

What specialized knowledge do you need to use these barriers?

You don't have to come from a professional background to deploy Geodesign flood barriers. However, we recommend at least two members from your team train in temporary flood protection and, of course, reference product instructions carefully. The beauty of the Geodesign Flood Barrier system lies in its simplicity. We provide a comprehensive instruction manual designed for those that are new to barrier assembly.

What surfaces can flood barriers work on?

One of the most exciting aspects of Geodesign flood barriers is that they work on a variety of surfaces such as clay, mud and tarmac. In fact, the friction caused by gravel and other bases actually aids in anchoring the construction. Although, pins may be used in some cases where concrete is the base for extra protection.
