Demountable Flood Barrier and Postie doing their jobs


Some four years ago, Flood Control installed a demountable flood barrier in Bosham, West Sussex.  The recent 5m spring tides required their use for the first time.  The flood barriers were erected easily and did their job perfectly:

Mr Gullen, the customer, said, "Thanks for designing and building something that really works."  Our thanks to Mr Gullen for sending us the photograph.
Flood Control International’s slot-in demountable flood barrier system is able to protect against flood depths of up to 4m as standard.  The modular components, simplicity of design and aluminium beams with ergonomically positioned carrying handles enable the system to be easily and quickly erected - without the need for special skills or training.

Automatic Flip Up Barrier installed in Cork - January 2012


Following from the devastating floods in Cork in November 2009, a number of major schemes have been undertaken to protect properties which were flooded or are susceptible to flooding.  Flood Control International has been awarded all of the major flood barrier projects to-date including the Mardyke Arena extension.

This scheme incorporates a 12.7m long 1.1m high flip-up flood barrier, flood doors that have inflating seals to operate on dead level thresholds, lift-hinged floodgates, flood-proof glazing and a demountable flood barrier.  Our flip-up barrier has just been installed and commissioned, and the project is scheduled for overall completion in March this year.

Other projects recently awarded include flood barrier protection to the prestigious Glucksman Gallery and the Mardyke Rugby Pavillion and the recently awarded scheme for 65 flood barriers for University College Cork. These contracts were won predominantly on the quality and dependability of our flood gates and flood barriers as well as efficient pricing.
