Benefits
Benefits over sandbags
Our flood protection solutions are more cost effective than competitive products. We pride ourselves on having developed innovative solutions that are pragmatic and affordable.
Problems with sandbags
- Time consuming and labour intensive to assemble into flood barriers
- Prone to leakage
- Can only be used once, not reusable
- Viral and bacterial infections often present in flood water get transposed onto the porous hessian sacks
Benefits over other flood barrier systems
The following information is taken from “Temporary Flood Protection Guide” as produced by The Environment Agency.
Water filled tubes – disadvantages
- High width-to-height ratio is restrictive for larger tubes
- Susceptible to vandalism or damage by sharp objects
- Major tears or punctures can lead to failure of the whole system
- Difficulty in expelling all water from tube following use can lead to deterioration
- Risk of water freezing in tubes at low temperatures leading to failure
Flexible/fabric/tarpaulin barriers – disadvantages
- Susceptible to leakage at low water levels
- Skirt may twist or flap under heavy winds and current
- Susceptible to vandalism and accidental tear or puncture
- Membrane is susceptible to heavy winds (especially before flood peak)
Rigid Frame flood barriers – disadvantages
- Membrane is susceptible to heavy winds (especially before flood peak)
- High bearing pressure on soil
- Susceptible to leakage at low water levels
- Heavy transportation requirement
