As a company, we base our solution on our extensive knowledge of flood protection and water-related projects. Having deployed our barriers more than 200 times in challenging conditions and worked 'shoulder to shoulder' with emergency agencies from multiple countries in all kinds of weather conditions—storms, snow, freezing temperatures, rain, and extreme heat—we have been able to continuously improve our flood...
The quality of NoFloods Flood Barriers is rigorously assured through a comprehensive system of manufacturing standards, certifications, feedback mechanisms, and continuous improvement processes. Here are the key aspects of the quality assurance process: Manufacturing Standards: The Flood Barriers are manufactured according to the "ES Production Quality System, 2011," which ensures reliability and high quality in production processes. Subcontractors supplying components for...
Many people still use sandbags to combat serious flooding, but the simple calculation below illustrates the superior cost/benefit ratio of the NoFloods system - challenging the rationale behind the sandbag tradition. While sandbags have been a traditional method for flood protection, the Flood Barrier system offers significant advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness and efficiency. Here's a comparison that highlights the benefits...
In the scenario where the water level exceeds the barrier's capacity, several consequences can arise. Here's what can happen and how precautions can be taken: Increased Seepage: If the water level surpasses the barrier's designed capacity, there might be an increase in seepage. Overtopping: Water overtopping occurs when the water level rises above the top of the barrier, causing water...
The behaviour of the NoFloods Flood Barrier in the presence of waves is different from its response in still water conditions. Here's an explanation of how waves can affect the barrier: Variable Forces: When subjected to wave action, the forces acting on the Flood Barrier become dynamic and vary in both time and space. Unlike the constant forces exerted by...
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...
Filling the Flood Barrier with water is essential for its effectiveness. While it might seem challenging if there's no natural water source nearby, here are some considerations: Flood Threat Assessment: Before worrying about water source proximity, it's important to assess whether the location is prone to flooding and if the Flood Barrier is necessary. Most areas susceptible to flooding will...
Yes, the flexible design of the NoFloods Flood Barrier allows it to be curved and deployed in various directions, including in between or around trees and structures. In general, one can deploy the barrier on the same trail as one can drive with a 4WD vehicle. It is possible to position the Flood Barrier in a way so that the...
Yes, one can connect two NoFloods Flood Barriers without using a Junction. Here's how: System Extension: If one intends to extend the system by connecting two barriers, one can achieve this by placing the two barriers next to each other with their respective Terminals aligned. Overlap Sealing: The area of overlap between the two barriers can be sealed using a...
Yes, the NoFloods Flood Barrier is compatible with other flood defense systems. Here's how: Side-by-Side Placement: The Flood Barrier's design allows for other flood defense systems to be placed side by side with the Flood Barrier. This means that one can integrate multiple systems within the same deployment area to create a comprehensive flood protection strategy. Strapping Together: If necessary,...
