Maintenance is primarily required during redeployment. In addition to that, we recommend a simple check or maintenance once a year. For machinery and electrical equipment, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's manuals. Before the operation, all machinery and electrical equipment should be tested, and you should ensure that the generator start battery is charged and the generator is refuelled.
Smaller pumps, manageable by two people, typically offer a runtime of up to 3-4 hours when powered by diesel. To extend this operational duration, you can attach an extra diesel tank to the pump, effectively doubling the runtime from 3 to 6 hours. High-volume pumps come equipped with larger tanks but are not intended for manual lifting. It's crucial to emphasize...
The pumps can be provided to run on either diesel or gasoline. Please be aware that diesel pumps will have additional weight compared to gasoline pumps.
The weight of the pumps varies depending on the model and capacity: Standard pumps in our toolbox weigh 50 kg with a capacity of 1500 l/min. Diesel pumps weigh 67 kg with the same 1500 l/min capacity. For pumps weighing over 75 kg, it is advisable to have assistance from at least four people when lifting them from a truck to...
Yes, the pumps we offer can operate effectively in dirty water, even when it contains leaves, rocks, and mud. Since floodwater often carries sediment and debris, it's recommended to fit the upstream end of the suction hose with a mesh to prevent debris from entering the pump system. It's also advisable to choose a water pumping point with minimal mud...
Yes, pumps are required to fill the barriers, but it's not mandatory to purchase them separately. The Terminals come equipped with Storz couplings, which can be adapted to any standard system used by the deployment team, Fire Brigade, or other first responders. While you can use any pump to fill the barriers, it is recommended to have a pump capacity...
Taking advantage of the new watertube technology, it is possible to use NoFloods Barriers to create a temporary dam for securing a dry working area within an existing water body, such as a lake, river, or sea. This innovative approach is environmentally friendly and, in turn, helps you save time and financial resources on manpower and materials. The flood barriers can be...
Two NoFloods Accessories are available for securing easy and safe public passageways when the mobile barrier is deployed: The NoFloods Ladder facilitates crossing the NoFloods Barrier during flooding. The NoFloods Floating Dock makes it possible to cross the NoFloods Barrier during severe flooding, where boats are the only means of transportation.
The NoFloods Barriers can be used as a mobile reservoir for water/liquid storage inside the tubes and/or in the reservoir created by a full-circle deployment of the tubes. E.g. 400m tubes deployed in this way create a 10,000 m3 reservoir. The inner liner can be made of food-grade material, enabling storage of drinking water inside the tubes, and the membrane...
No, we generally do not recommend additional cleaning before packing the tube. Simply follow the deployment and barrier emptying instructions, and you'll be prepared for the next event. It's important to focus on water filling, where strainers/filters on the water pump will ensure you fill the barrier with clean water, whether it's fresh or saltwater. However, if you still wish to...
