The barrier collects flood water into a water sensing control pit, which sends a signal to the system control panel which provides power via it's Uninterrupted Power Supply to the hydraulic motor unit to function. In typical rain scenario, the rain washes through the pit, however, in a flooding situation, it will trigger the water sensors when the water accumulates up to a certain level. After a thirty-second gap to the second alert, the Ram Push flood barrier will automatically activate. Once the floodwater subsides, the device drops back down as identified by the sensor. A notable feature of the Ram Push system is that although the barriers are designed to close by themselves using floodwater, they can also be deployed pre-flood or for maintenance at the touch of a switch.

Flashing lights and audible alarms serve as a warning, supported by signage explaining that flood barrier deployment is imminent.

Another benefit of using the Ram Push flood barrier is its ability to automatically send an SMS alert message to a select few persons such as the building's safety officer, managers, and other authorised personnel.

Flooding Solutions Advisory Group

Knowing the right flood protection devices to use in early planning is critical to saving time and minimising the costs during the construction phase as well as lifetime costs.

Flooding Solutions Advisory Group has been working hand in hand with designers, architects and engineers to meet flood consent requirements from the early stages of planning up to the implementation. They have a range of flood protection devices that suit different terrain and flood consent requirements.
