Difference between Preventive and Curative Deployment

The distinction between preventive and curative deployment of the NoFloods Flood Barrier lies in the timing and purpose of its installation: Preventive Deployment: Preventive deployment involves positioning the barrier before flooding occurs, with the aim of safeguarding a specific area or structure. The barrier is set up in anticipation of rising water levels, acting as a proactive defence mechanism against...

Deployment and Assembly of Flood Barriers During Flood Conditions

Deploying and assembling the NoFloods Flood Barriers during flood conditions is designed to be a straightforward and effectiveprocess. The system's design ensures simplicity and logic in its deployment, enabling it to be effectively utilized both before and during flooding events. While the deployment process is generally manageable and intuitive, specific situations during flood conditions might benefit from using the NoFloods Hydraulic...

Deployment Time and Personnel Required for Various Lengths of Flood Barrier

The time and personnel needed for deploying different lengths of the NoFloodsFlood Barrier (PRO 125) are as follows: 100 Meters: With a team of 2-4 people, approximately 20-40 minutes are required for deployment, which involves laying out tubes and connecting terminals. Inflating with air takes approximately 5 minutes, and filling with water 20-40 minutes depending on pump capacity. For air...

Storage Guidelines for the Flood Barrier

Proper storage is vital to maintaining the condition and effectiveness of the Flood Barrier components. Here are guidelines to ensure appropriate storage: Dam Material and Equipment: All components, including dam material and other equipment, should be stored indoors, preferably under a roof. Ensure that the storage area is secure, dry, and devoid of exposure to direct sunlight, maintaining optimal conditions...

Lifespan of the Flood Barrier

The longevity of the NoFloods Flood Barrier components is influenced by the materials used and proper maintenance. Here are the expected lifespans and considerations for various parts of the system: Terminals and Junctions: Crafted from durable aluminum, these components can endure for approximately 10 to 20 years when they are treated according to recommended instructions, transported, and handled with...

Weight of the Flood Barrier

The weight of the Flood Barrier is directly influenced by key factors, including its length, height, and the number of terminals and junctions incorporated into its configuration. This weight variability is a result of the diverse customization options available to tailor the flood protection system to your specific needs. For comprehensive details regarding the weight associated with your chosen Flood Barrier...

Maximum Length of the Flood Barrier

The incorporation of Junctions into the flood protection system introduces exceptional flexibility in determining the length of the Flood Barrier. The beauty of this design lies in its adaptability – tubes can be provided in sections spanning 10 to 200 meters, and these sections can be interconnected using Junctions. This innovative approach grants you the freedom to customize the length of...

Materials Used for Tubes, Terminals, and Junctions Tubes

The tubes comprise an inner liner and an outer liner, both collaborating to form the tube's structure. Each liner serves a distinct purpose, collectively providing a balance of characteristics such as flexibility, lightness, exceptional strength, and resistance against tearing. These qualities are crucial for their performance in flood protection, coastal defense, and the temporary containment of wastewater. The total length...

What are Terminals and Why are They Needed?

Terminals form a crucial component of the NoFloods flood protection system, serving a dual purpose that enhances its functionality: Starting or Ending the Flood Barrier: Terminals serve as the initial or concluding points of the Flood Barrier, ensuring a seamless and secure connection to the protected area. Air and Water Management: These elements enable controlled inflow and outflow of air...
