Geodesign - Model P61, P81, P101, P121 -Industrial Flood Barrier

The Industrial Flood Barrier is expertly engineered to achieve the ideal balance between speed, simplicity, and functionality. Using advanced sheet metal technology from Swedish SSAB, which is trusted by the automotive industry, our components are lightweight and exceptionally durable.

Designed with efficiency in mind, everything needed for 50 meters of flood protection is conveniently packed into a specially crafted metal cage, taking up only 2 square meters of space. This innovative design makes our flood protection system perfectly suited for large-scale applications.

Our Industrial flood barrier is engineered with lightweight components, allowing for quick and efficient setup, transport, and storage without compromising functionality. Despite its lightweight design, this barrier has a high safety margin and is built to withstand strong currents, high water pressure, and additional loads such as waves and floating debris colliding with it at high speeds.

To ensure its reliability, our flood barrier was rigorously tested at the US Army Corps of Engineers Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory in Vicksburg, MS. The tests were conducted in accordance with the FM ANSI 2510-2020 standard and demonstrated the barrier`s capability to withstand the most challenging flood conditions.

The Industrial Flood Barrier is designed to cope with challenging conditions, in both infrastructure and natural environments. Thanks to its unique flexibility, the system can be easily installed around, over, and up against obstacles such as undulations, kerbs, walls, fences and other permanent structures.

Also, Geodesign Flood Barriers are all compatible with each other, which allows for endless possibilities and combinations to suit the specific topography and conditions on site.

To create an adjustable section with the Industrial Flood Barrier, begin by laying the metal sheet over the desired section that is less than one meter. Fix one side of the plate in the usual way, and allow the other side to rest on top of the mount button. Next, let the bottom of the panel rest in the slot located by the toe of the metal support. This will ensure that the panel remains securely in position. With these steps, you can create an adjustable section that can be tailored to your specific needs and the unique challenges of your project.

To handle sudden shifts in level, such as curbs, steps, or uneven ground, start by placing the sloping beams of the A-frames aligned and their sides flush against each other. Then, clamp together the front beams to ensure that they remain securely in place. Once the A-frames are properly aligned, you can continue building the barrier on the new level. With this technique, you can easily navigate obstacles and uneven terrain to create a sturdy and reliable barrier that meets the specific needs of your project.

The Industrial Flood Barrier features specially designed corner panels that enable sharp 45-degree inner and outer turns. These panels provide the flexibility needed to navigate corners and create a barrier that conforms precisely to the contours of your project site.

Thanks to the flexibility of its modular structure and thin steel panel, the Industrial Flood Barrier enables larger bends with a 90-degree turn radius of 10 meter using only straight sections. This feature makes it easier to design custom flood protection systems that can adapt to the layout of your property and minimize the need for additional components or complex installations.

`To set up the barrier, begin by placing the supports along the intended barrier line, spaced at 1 meter intervals. Then, fold up each support by lifting up the front beam and unfolding the support beam. After fully extending the support beam, locate the snap lock at the bottom of the support beam and use it to lock the support in an upright position with the bottom beam. This will help ensure the barrier`s integrity before the water rises and provide stability.

Hang the panels between the frames by sliding the cutout over the protruding mount knobs on the supports and overlapping the neighboring panels.

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.

Allow the flood water to rise onto the barrier to generate the necessary pressure to self-anchor the system. This process ensures that the barrier is firmly secured in place and can withstand the pressure of rising water levels.

To enhance the grip and stability of the bottom beam, punched metal collars have been added underneath. These collars work by increasing the friction between the beam and the ground surface providing the necessary stability to ensure the structure`s integrity and safety.

As shown in the illustration, our smart and innovative solution provides a simple and efficient method for fixing the Industrial metal sheet to the Metal Support. The solution features a keyhole design that allows for easy threading over the mounting button and a straightforward push-down installation to a fixed position.

Our panel clip is an easy-to-use solution for securely fastening the membrane to the barrier. With a simple and intuitive design, this clip can be quickly and easily applied by pressing it down over the membrane and the metal panel. This user-friendly clip ensures that the membrane remains firmly in place, providing enhanced safety and security.

5. Triangular Industrial metal support

Featuring a collapsible and stackable design, our triangular metal supports provide increased user-friendliness and optimal storage. The support beam efficiently transfers water pressure to the bottom beam, which includes punched friction collars for enhanced stability.

Our outer support beam is equipped with a spring-loaded snap-lock for easy and tool-free securing in the upright position. This streamlined process saves time and effort while ensuring a secure and reliable structure before water enters the barrier, providing enhanced stability and safety.

7. High strength steel
To guarantee long-lasting durability, we use high-strength steel for all components that experience high loads. To provide additional protection against corrosion, we hot-dip galvanize these components, ensuring an outstanding level of resistance to environmental wear and tear. This approach maximizes the lifespan of our components, ensuring that they remain reliable and perform optimally for an extended period of time.

8. Plastic membrane
Optimally sized and quality laminated, our laminate-coated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material minimizes leakage and maximizes self-anchoring forces. Its durable laminate coating ensures a reliable and long-lasting solution for containing liquids and creating a secure barrier. With its enhanced durability, this material is ideal for a wide range of applications that require high-quality containment solutions.

9. Handle
Specially designed nylon strap minimizes accidents during the unfolding of the metal support, ensuring safe and effective deployment.

10. Chain - DIN 763
To secure the membrane before water enters the barrier, our system is equipped with a 12 mm x 5 m galvanized steel chain, including carabiners. This effective and reliable solution ensures that the membrane remains securely in place, providing enhanced stability and safety to the system during operation.
