Transporting the NoFloods Flood Barrier is straightforward and flexible, with minimal requirements. Because the barriers are lightweight, they can be easily and flexibly transported from one location to another using trailers, trucks, trolleys, and other suitable means. In some cases, you can even manually pull the tubes to locations that may be inaccessible by regular vehicles.
The Barrier is typically delivered in high-quality transport and deployment boxes made of aluminum or laminated plywood. These boxes are designed for easy handling with forklifts and are actively used during deployment. To prevent damage and UV exposure, it is advisable to store and transport the barrier in the box until its final use. The barrier can be deployed directly from...
The hydraulic stability assessment of the NoFloods Water tubes has been carried out with a retention height from 0m to 1.0 m. We refer to the following relationship between the required friction angle and the height of retained water for recommended retention height. Relationship between required friction angle and height of retained water Another way of presenting the results is by determining...
The NoFloods Flood Barriers are designed to hold a specific amount of water, influenced by various factors. Here's an explanation of their water-retaining capacity: Recommended Height: The Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) has approved a recommended water height range of 0.8 meters up to 1.2 meters for the Flood Barrier Twin Tube 125 (twin and triple tube configurations). Adding a membrane...
Filling the NoFloods Flood Barrier is a multi-step process that involves both air and water. Here's a detailed explanation of the filling procedure: Air Filling: To initiate the filling process, air is introduced into the tubes of the Flood Barrier. This is typically achieved using an air blower, that is connected to the Terminal or Junction of the barrier. The introduction...
The NoFloods Flood Barrier can remain deployed and under load for an extended period. Here are the details: Longevity: The barrier's design allows it to stay deployed for several days without issues. In construction scenarios, it has been tested under load for as long as +90 days during activities. In live flood cases, the barrier has been in contact with...
After the NoFloods Flood Barrier is deployed, monitoring and maintenance are generally not continuous but may be needed periodically. Here's what you should know: Limited Control and Maintenance: Once deployed,the Flood Barrier's need for monitoring and maintenance is typically limited to periodic checks. Maintenance activities might need to occur once a day or as necessary, depending on the situation. Emergency...
No pre-installation is required for the NoFloods Flood Barrier. The equipment is designed to be fully demountable and movable, allowing for easy deployment as needed. This flexibility eliminates the need for any preliminary setup on the deployment site. The barrier's portable nature ensures that it can be efficiently transported to the desired location and assembled on-site without the necessity for...
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...
Deploying the NoFloods Flood Barrier is a straightforward process that can be accomplished by following these 5 simple steps: Step 1Step 2Step 3Step 4Step 5 Step 1: Arrival and Site Inspection Upon arrival at the deployment site, conduct an inspection to assess the suitability and any potential obstacles. The Flood Barriers can be deployed from various sources, including trailers, small trucks, storage bags,...
