Demountable flood barriers are placed at the door entryway to prevent the flow of floodwater from entering the house or building. These types of flood barriers are also called removable flood-barriers or stackable flood barriers. These types of water barriers are very efficient in protecting the area from flood damage. As the panels used in these systems are stacked upon each other therefore it is called stackable barriers.
How Demountable Flood Barriers are Different from Other Systems?
Demountable Flood Barriers are commonly used for residential and commercial buildings in order to protect them from flooding. These barriers have removable aluminum panels which are slide into the two upright posts. The posts are also made up of aluminum alloy materials which are permanently fixed into a solid wall.
An aluminum alloy of 6005 and 6063 is used in making the panels and posts, which are light in weight also provide greater corrosion resistance. These stackable flood barriers weigh 2.4kg/meter and can be easily lifted by one hand. The panels are at a standard height of 200mm and they can reach any flood defending height by adding the extra panels to one another.
This type of demountable flood barrier can be easily dismantled and removed by using simple tools. By removing these panels you can restore the landscape with minimum visual impact, and it is very convenient for storage when it is not in use.
How Efficient are these Demountable Systems?
The demountable flood barrier systems have many features in usage. Some of them are as follows,
•The demountable flood barriers are well designed with engineered structures, which are having extremely high strength against floods.
•Height adjustment is the major feature in this type of barrier by adding the extra panels over the top of others.
•The barrier panels and posts are made up of aluminum alloy material which is lightweight and provides high corrosion resistance against floodwater. Aluminum is a robust material and provides a longer lifespan for the posts and panels.
•EPDM sealants are used in posts and panels in order to stop water seepage.
•Polyethylene and polyurethane are used as ground seal elements. No need for any ground frame, which makes the installation fast and easy.
•These barriers can be removed easily and stored in a place after the flooding.
•The maximum single span of these demountable flood barriers can reach up to 6000mm.
Conclusion
Demountable flood barriers are versatile and can be used in any residential or commercial property. Driveways, loading bays, garages, and sliding doors are using these types of flood barriers to prevent the flow of strong running floodwater. Easy installation without any experts made this type of barrier a great success among other types.
