Flip-up Flood Barriers

Flood Control International AUSTRALIA

Self Rising Flood Barriers for Entrances and Wide Openings

To provide unrestricted access to pedestrian and vehicle entrances, this self-rising flood barrier is fully recessed in to the ground when not in use.

Activated by a push button, automatically triggered by sensors, or manually, this flood barrier rises up to flood defence heights of 2m as standard and up to lengths of 12m.

Designed to provide totally unrestricted access to pedestrian and vehicle entrances.

A range of surface finishes is available; from skid resistant epoxy coatings to timber cladding or paving to fit in with the external hard landscaping.

These flood barriers can rise automatically with the rising flood waters or by push button in advance keeping you in control for complete peace of mind. Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) and manual backups mean these flood barriers will not let you down.

A single flip-up flood barrier system can protect openings up to 12m wide and multiple systems can be linked with intermediate posts to create a flood defence run of almost any length. Depending on span, flood defence heights of up to 2m are available.

Flip-up Flood Barriers

Movement and weight sensors prevent the barriers opening if the entrance is obstructed whilst optional audio/visual alarms sound prior to and during operation.

Optional 24 volt back-up systems are available for use in the event of mains failure and permanently installed security grates cover the housing pit – serving as both a safety platform for traffic and pedestrians and as protection for the hydraulic system while the barrier remains raised.

These barriers are designed for pedestrian and vehicle entrances, or anywhere where unrestricted level access is required.

Flip Up Barriers

In order to provide unrestricted access to pedestrian and vehicle entrances, the flip-up flood barrier is fully recessed in to the ground when not in use.

Drop Down Barriers

When not in use the drop-down flood barrier is unobtrusively located above the top of the opening, ready to be lowered at a moment’s notice.

Lift Hinge Flood Gates

Our Lift-Hinge flood gates utilize a unique ‘raise-swing-lower’ mechanism and do not require recessed ground channels, raised ground beams or ramps, making them ideal for vehicle entrances and especially suitable for forklift or wheelchair access.

Swing Hinge Flood Gates

Designed and built to the same high standards as our lift-hinge flood gates, our swing-hinge flood gate products are ideal for opening where there is a step or ramp. The aluminum construction results in a light and easy to use door that provides full protection.
