BoxBarrier is a cost-effective, temporary flood defence system which has the huge advantage of quick and easy installation and removal.
The modular flood defence consists of boxes, lids and joints. When the boxes are filled with water the system creates a highly-effective, robust flood barrier. When empty, BoxBarrier is lightweight and compact making it easy to transport and install, especially when compared to much heavier sandbags.
Apart from a simple pump, no additional equipment is required for installation. BoxBarrier does not require a permanent foundation and can be deployed quickly. The UV-stabilised polyethylene construction means it can be used multiple times, can be stored outside and is 100% recyclable.
BoxBarrier consists of three different parts, a box, a lid and a connecting element. Apart from a simple pump, no additional equipment or foundation is required for installation.
BoxBarrier can be installed on variety of surfaces and water can be pumped into BoxBarrier by using a simple pump. 100 metres of BoxBarrier can be filled in one hour by a standard 30m³ per hour pump.
Removal from site is even faster. The boxes can be emptied by the pump or a bucket, removed by hand and stacked with the joints stored in the top box. There is no debris to clear up, which is often the case with weathered and ruptured sandbags.
The compact shape and stackability means both easy transportation and efficient storage. BoxBarrier can stack up to 20 units high, is weather-resistant and durable can be stored outside though dry storage is more preferable.
The compact shape and stackability of BoxBarrier makes transportation easy.
10 to 20 BoxBarrier units can be moved in an average car trailer. Larger quantities can be transported by truck or container. 250 BoxBarrier units can be stored in one conventional 20ft container.
With corner pieces it is possible to place BoxBarriers in sharp angles up to 90 degrees.
Wall pieces make it possible to create a watertight join between a wall or other fixed structure and BoxBarrier.
BoxBarrier can even be installed in water when an area is already flooded. It can be transported on the water by floating or by boat and deployed at the required location. After filling with water, the system is ready and floodwater from the flooded area can be pumped away.
More than just a flood barrier, because BoxBarrier can be walked on, it can also be used as temporary bridge in a flooded area, especially in urban floods.
