It is considered that there is great need both in the UK and internationally for application
of a low cost flood defence for the prevention of fluvial flooding and to help resist the
destructive forces of storm surge and tidal flooding. Currently barriers available on the
market are costly to install and maintain, are complex in their design and are not selferecting.
This product is perceived to fill a gap in the current worldwide market. In addition
to providing flood protection, the barrier may also be used for temporary storage of water or
for protection against spills from tanks.
