FLIP-UP

Self-operating and versatile flood protection

Different from a self-closing flood barrier, which is installed deep into the ground, a flip-up flood barrier is placed superficially. A valve is mounted horizontally and when triggered, either manually with a button or autonomously by its water sensors, is pushed up to form a leak-tight seal. When activated, attendants will be alerted through a chime and warning light to ensure their safety. A versatile flood solution that can equally function as an overall safeguard.

Flood safety at the press of a button

Looking for a way to automatically seal off buildings, tunnels or garages in case of flooding or as a security measure? A flip-up flood barrier can be triggered with the simple press of a button.
