Boxwalls® are some of the most innovative solutions worldwide to protect our lives and properties from floods. Their mobile flooding barriers are free-standing units your team can attach together to give the barrier the length the situation demands. They are perfect for urban spaces with evenly levelled ground.
The Classic Boxwall® Flood Barrier: The BW52
The Boxwall® is a very simple yet very effective flooding barrier designed to be anchored automatically using the weight of the floodwater itself. So, a higher water level means these flood gates are held more firmly in place.
These mobile flood gates are lightweight, making them easy to carry and deploy at the required sites. You only need a handful of people to complete the job within a short time. The best thing about mobile flood barriers is that anyone can build them.
Previously, we only had Boxwall® BW52, designed to hold back water levels of ½ meter or less. But now, there’s a new member!
The New Boxwall® Mobile Barrier: The BW102
The latest Boxwall® model, BW102, is designed to withstand floodwater with a depth of up to 1 meter/ 1000mm/ 100cm. We are talking about the depth level of many above-ground pools. One person alone can carry these mobile flood barriers as a single unit only weighs 15.2 kg.
In fact, two people alone can build a 100-meters long flood barrier within an hour!
All you have to do is snap the Boxwalls® together. Their design makes them easily stackable, one on top of another, requiring less storage space.
We carried out some serious tests of high water flow to assess its efficacy, including overtopping. To everyone’s delight, these bad boys held up great! The flooding barrier passed with flying colours – all red, of course!
