Alteau Flood Barriers

Primarily designed for use by the Emergency Services, this is a free-standing water-barrier for flood control, creating water reservoirs, damming streams and containing chemical spills. Suitable for sustained use at major incidents. Easily stored, transported, deployed and recovered.

Flood Barrier Key Features & Equipment Benefits:

• Each section is simply positioned and unrolled
  
• Inflation is by the weight of the flood-water itself (which also provides additional stability)
  
• Automatically deflates with the falling water, and can be simply hosed down for reuse or return to storage
• Can be used on various surfaces, including gently undulating surfaces. 
• Available in various sizes, and as straights and 90 degree corners.
• Multiple sections can be joined simply with the integral Velcro fasteners, to create lengths of several hundred metres or to provide an enclosed area.
• Versatile: Can be used on grass, gravel, concrete, tarmac, paving etc, and the fabric can mould itself to most gently undulating surfaces.
• Portable: A 10m length (0.7m height) weighs 85kg and can be transported in a small vehicle. A 5m length can be carried by hand. Supplied with a protective storage/carry bag. Up to 5 sections can be stored on a single standard pallet.
  
• Easily Deployed: Can be simply unrolled in minutes. No attachments or on-site construction is needed for the majority of situations. The flood-water itself provides additional stability (and there is the option to attach heavy-duty pegs for further security if needed).
  
• Self-Inflating: Inflated simply by the weight of the flood-water itself - no external power source or pre-inflation is required.
  
• Extendable / Customisable: Multiple sections can be joined simply with the integral Velcro fasteners, to create lengths of several hundred metres or to provide an enclosed area (eg 4 corners and 6 x 10m sections will provide a 200m2 enclosure)
  
• Reusable: Automatically deflates with the falling water, and can be simply hosed down and rolled up for reuse or return to storage.
  Environmental Impact: No affect on the environment, and leaves no permanent damage to the site.
