In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to erect a section that can be adjusted to fit the specific dimensions of the environment. To meet this requirement, Heavy Duty offers a solution featuring adjustable connection rods and triangular corner elements.

To navigate over irregularities, curbs, or other immovable obstacles, it is possible to use metal supports placed at varying heights on either side of the obstacle. These supports can then be connected using adjustable connection rods, to which you hang the specially designed corner elements.

Corner sections ranging from 0 to 360 degrees can be constructed using adjustable connection rods and specialized corner elements, for both inner and outer corners.

Connecting a barrier to a vertical surface or a wall is a common requirement. Geodesign Barriers offer a solution as follows: Begin by placing one section of the barrier flush against the wall. Any gaps can be sealed using the Geodesign wall connection pad. A wall batten can then be installed to secure the outer edge of the plastic membrane in place.

Geodesign offers a range of temporary barrier models that are fully compatible with one another. These models can be used to create dams of varying heights, which can be adapted to suit the surrounding topography.

Geodesign Barriers provides models ranging from 41 cm to 245 cm in height, with even intervals between them. However, there may be situations where a specific dam height is required that falls between two of these models. In such cases, Heavy Duty can be extended by 15 cm using an extension module.

Connect the metal supports by attaching the link bars. Insert the link bars into the keyhole slots on the front beam of the support, allowing them to drop into place. The link bar design and the front beam slot ensure a locked connection without the need for additional parts or steps.

Install the aluminum panels by hanging them onto the barrier, hooking them securely onto the protruding sections of the link bars through the designated cutouts. The panels are engineered with a self-locking mechanism that securely interlocks with the link bars, requiring no additional parts or steps and ensuring stability against wind forces. Begin with the top layer of panels to avoid obstruction during installation, allowing for a smoother, more accessible mounting process.

To install the membrane, roll it out along the barrier and secure it in place using panel clips at the top of the barrier. Then, attach a chain to the outer edge of the membrane on the ground and fasten it securely with cable ties.

Step 5. Anchor with water
As the flood water rises and applies pressure onto the barrier, it will anchor the system to the ground, providing additional stability and protection against flooding.

Punched metal collars located underneath the bottom beam, which effectively grip the underlying surface and generate sufficient friction to ensure self-anchorage against the ground.

3. Aluminium sheet
Our chequer plate aluminum sheets are designed for durability and ease of use, featuring a corrosion-resistant finish that ensures longevity and strength. Laser-cut and beveled for precision, these sheets provide a winning combination of functionality and user-friendliness.

Our panel clip provides a user-friendly solution for fixing the membrane securely in place against the barrier. Featuring a simple and intuitive design, the clip can be easily applied by pressing it down over the membrane and the aluminum sheet.

5. Foldable Heavy Duty metal support
Our metal supports feature a collapsible and stackable design for user-friendliness and minimal storage volume. In upright position, the support beams transfer water pressure to the bottom beam, where metal collars increase anchoring force and stability through friction, ensuring a secure and reliable structure.

The outer support beam is designed for ease of use, featuring a spring-loaded snap-lock that quickly and easily secures the beam in the upright position without the need for tools or screws. This streamlined process saves time and effort, while ensuring a secure and reliable structure before the water enters the barrier.

7. High strength steel
To ensure durability and longevity, we use high-strength steel for all components exposed to high loads. To further protect against corrosion, these components are hot-dip galvanized, providing an excellent level of resistance to environmental wear and tear.

8. Plastic membrane
Our Laminate-coated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material is optimally sized and quality laminated to minimize leakage and maximize self-anchoring forces. With its durable laminate coating, this material provides a reliable and long-lasting solution for containing liquids and ensuring a secure barrier.

9. Chain - DIN 763
Our barrier system features a 12 mm x 5 m galvanized steel chain, complete with carabiners, that is used to weigh down the membrane before the water enters. This effective and reliable solution ensures that the membrane remains securely in place when the water enters the barrier

When it comes to purchasing a flood barrier, there are many factors to consider. While each flooding event is unique, taking a comprehensive approach to understanding your specific situation can increase your chances of finding the right solution. With our 25 years of experience, we want to assist you in making an informed decision. To aid you in this process, we have compiled a list of crucial criteria to consider:

Ensure that any flood barrier system you consider is certified by a trusted third party for reliability. A failing flood barrier can have catastrophic consequences, causing significant damage and endangering people and property.

Verify that the barrier system has quality certificates from a reputable third party. Flood operation activities and safety should always require certified products with rigorous testing and evaluation procedures as the standard.

When researching flood protection systems, it`s crucial to look for real-world references that demonstrate the system`s performance in contact with actual floodwater.

It`s important to choose a system that has been proven effective in repeated flooding situations. Make sure to check for visible proof of the flood barrier withstanding floodwater, as products and systems displayed in controlled environments or on dry land may not be sufficient evidence of their capacity to withstand real flood situations.

When it comes to flood systems that require filling materials such as sand, water, gravel, or air, it`s important to consider all logistics involved to ensure full operational function.

This includes factors such as accessibility and handling of the filling material, which may require heavy machinery, manpower, pumps, and sufficient pumping capacity to supply the required amount of material in a timely manner to the designated flood area. Calculating these logistics and associated costs is crucial when comparing different flood solutions. In addition, it`s important to note that materials like sand and water can become contaminated after a flood, and proper handling and disposal procedures must be followed to ensure responsible post-flood management.

It`s important to consider the impact on your site if the flood barrier system needs to be anchored. This may involve additional costs or disruptions to the ground surface.

Additionally, it`s essential to factor in the expenses of reinstating the ground surface after a flooding event. These considerations can help you evaluate the total cost and feasibility of a flood barrier system for your site.

It`s crucial to assess whether a flood barrier system can withstand the challenges posed by tough terrain and real-world conditions. Uneven surfaces, steps, slopes, urban street furniture, overtopping, and floating debris are just a few of the obstacles that the system may encounter.

By taking these factors into consideration, you can ensure that the flood barrier you choose will perform effectively in the face of adversity.

When buying flood barriers, consider the price in relation to the expected lifespan, and the impact of usage, sunlight, water, and temperature. The cost of deploying, installing, and maintaining the barrier, including filling materials, spare parts, repairs, training, deployment equipment...

...and personnel, should also be factored into the total cost of flood protection. This helps you make a cost-effective investment in flood protection.

When it comes to flood barriers, a well-designed setup is essential for a smooth and easy set-up and take-down process. A quick installation time is critical to ensure that the flood protection is in place before flooding occurs, and it can also help to conserve resources.

When floods occur, flood defenses may become exposed to contaminated water. This can pose a challenge for flood barriers that rely on materials like sand or water, as they may become contaminated as well.

Additionally, some plastic-based systems cannot be effectively cleaned if they come into contact with contaminated water and may need to be replaced entirely. To ensure that you are well equipped to handle such situations, it is crucial to choose a flood barrier that can effectively manage and mitigate the impact of contaminated water.

There are certain costs associated with maintaining and handling flood barrier systems to ensure that they are ready for the next flood. Activities such as system inspections, removal, and clean-up can pose significant challenges if the design of the system does not facilitate easy access and maintenance.

For example, clogged fabrics that cannot be reused or sealed tubes that are difficult to dry out from contaminated water can make post-maintenance time-consuming and costly. Additionally, it`s important to consider repair, replacement, and proper disposal of damaged parts.

To make an informed decision, it`s recommended that you ask the supplier for more details or preferably references from other users of the system. By doing so, you can ensure that the system you choose is reliable and cost-effective in the long run.
