The NoFloods Barrier is designed with considerations to minimize the potential for leakage. Here’s an explanation of its leakage characteristics:
- Weight and Friction: The weight of the Flood Barrier, combined with the friction between the barrier and the surface on which it is deployed, contributes to its ability to resist leakage. These factors help maintain the stability of the barrier and minimize the potential for water to seep through.
- Low Leakage Rate: The Flood Barrier has been rigorously tested to assess its leakage rate. Test results for the TwinTube 125 have demonstrated that the barrier exhibits a very low leakage rate below 4.6 Liters per meter per hour.
- Effective Design: The Flood Barrier’s design aims to ensure that water is effectively contained within the barrier, providing efficient flood protection. The double tubes, along with the principles of hydraulic pressure, contribute to its capacity to resist leakage.
In summary, the Flood Barrier is constructed and tested to minimize the risk of leakage. Its weight, friction, and design attributes work in conjunction to provide effective flood protection and containment of water, making it a reliable solution for flood management.
