Andel FloodWall

Name: Andel FloodWall
Brand: Andel Ltd

Andel FloodWall is a modular, perimeter flood defence system designed to give long-term peace of mind to homes and businesses at risk from flooding

Andel FloodWall is a modular design which allows for easy transportation and can be quickly assembled on site in a similar way to conventional wood fencing.

Andel FloodWall is primarily constructed from 100% recycled post-consumer plastic waste that would otherwise go to landfill. Posts have steel-pipe reinforcement to provide added strength for a robust installation. The panels are fitted with horizontal ridge supports to prevent bending if under pressure from floodwater. Panels and posts have an aesthetically sympathetic wood-effect finish to blend into any environment.

Assembled on site in a similar way to conventional wood fencing

Panels and posts are constructed from nonporous, durable, 100% post-industrial plastic waste with an aesthetically sympathetic wood-effect finish
Joints between panels and posts are sealed with a compressed waterproof gasket that tightens under pressure
Panels are fitted with horizontal ridge supports to prevent the panels from bending if under pressure from floodwater
Steel pipes run through the length of the posts for added reinforcement
The panels sink below ground level to create a waterproof seal
The posts sink deep into a concrete foundation below ground level to the same depth as the height of the wall, providing the strength to resist the force of floodwater.

Built to resist the weight of floodwater

Andel FloodWall has been designed to withstand the full force of floodwater in the severest of flood events and tested to meet the requirements of British Standard BS 851188-1:2019 for Flood Resistance Products.

Water resilient installation

In a flood event, the greatest force is exerted where the flood defence meets the ground. Special care and development has been undertaken to ensure that FloodWall will withstand the full force of floodwater in a flood event.

Steel-pipe reinforced posts are fitted deep into the ground to the same height as the wall, into a concrete foundation, providing a level of strength that will resist the full weight of floodwater in the severest of floods. FloodWall has been designed and tested to meet the requirements of British Standard BS 851188-1:2019 for Flood Resistance Products.

FloodWall can be installed on soft ground or onto an existing, suitable hard surface. Posts are set into a concrete foundation providing a robust and effective weight-bearing structure. Panels are secured to the posts with self-tapping screws, compressing the waterproof gasket and set into the ground by 100mm to create a water seal.

Optimised design and installation through ground science

Through an ongoing R&D partnership with Leeds University and the UK Government’s Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) programme, Andel has integrated advanced geotechnical and hydrological analysis into the overall design and insatllation process for its FloodWall system at any given site.

Using detailed assessments of site-specific soil characteristics, Andel models how water moves through and beneath the ground over time. This enables engineers to understand sub-surface water behaviour, including underground seepage, and to design a tailored FloodWall system that delivers maximum flood resistance and long-term performance for each unique location.

By applying sophisticated tools such as GeoStudio®, Andel’s engineers can simulate soil water flow and analyse seepage patterns beneath the barrier. This data-driven approach determines how quickly and effectively each installation will resist floodwater, ensuring every FloodWall defence system is optimised for the specific ground conditions it protects and determines whether additional measures are required such as flood pumps to deal with the seepage.

Panel size and height of defences

The height of the flood defence is calculated based on a flood risk assessment. Panels are available in two sizes: 60cm high x 192cm wide or 80cm high x 192cm wide

If the defences need to exceed the maximum standard panel height, panels can be doubled up to give extra height to a maximum of 1.2 metres. The added panels are sealed with a watertight gasket and additional supports are added to ensure the defence meets the correct requirements.
