The NoFloods Flood Barrier is designed to be self-standing and does not require additional anchoring to the ground. Here’s how it works:
- Self-Standing Design: The Flood Barrier is designed to stand on its own without the need for external fixtures or anchoring mechanisms.
- Weight of Water: The principle behind the Flood Barrier’s effectiveness is to “fight water with water.” The barrier operates as a portable gravity dam, where the weight of the water inside the tubes serves a dual purpose: it provides flood protection by acting as a barrier against the floodwater, and it also offers stability by preventing the barrier from sliding or being displaced.
In essence, the Flood Barrier’s self-standing design and its reliance on the weight of the water within the tubes ensure that it remains stable and effective without the need for additional anchoring to the ground. However, if you wish to enhance its anchoring, you can easily do so by attaching ropes to the patented loops on the side of the barrier, enabling you to anchor it to various objects in the terrain or to earth anchors for added security in challenging conditions. This flexibility ensures that the NoFloods Flood Barrier can adapt to a wide range of flood protection scenarios.
