Water Powered Flood Barrier from Flooding Solutions Advisory Group

Why the Hyflo Self-Closing Flood Barrier
is the Best Water Powered Flood Barrier

Traditionally, the only method for protecting building entrances, driveway slopes, vent grills, and other defenceless paths have been active measures that require hydraulic and mechanical operating systems. There are some consent authorities that have concerns regarding the small risk of failure associated with active flood protection devices.

Flooding Solutions Advisory Group's Hyflo Self-Closing Flood Barrier embodies an innovative change in traditional flood control measures that eliminates these risks. The hyflo SCFB is a type of passive barrier that will activate automatically in a storm or flash flooding event, using the force of flood water to raise the barrier progressively as the flood waters rise. The self-closing flood barrier doesn't need manual deployment, demounting or storage, and does not rely on electric or hydraulic controls, these aspects of its design remove the risks associated with human error, the need for human intervention, and concerns about electrical or hydraulic failure.

The use of passive flood barriers are recommended for flood proofing of commercial buildings and residential apartment buildings. The self-closing flood barrier can be used in combination with a permanent floodwall to prevent flood waters to get into a property. Hyflo SCFB can typically last for a longer period of time, though the seals can be replaced with support from the Flooding Solutions Maintenance Team.

The self-closing flood barriers are ideal for buildings, infrastructures and developments along the waterways and coastal areas, promenades, riverfronts and inland waterways or canals.
