Australia has a naturally diverse environment, and extreme weather events like fires, flooding, storms, and heavy rain are on the rise as climate change continues to impact us all.
Business owners and entrepreneurs are increasingly confronted with the need to prepare and protect against the consequences that these events can cause.
Physical damage to commercial and personal property from flooding events is often severe, with long-lasting consequences. Repair costs and interruptions in the supply chain can quickly become exorbitant.
That's why having a protection system like a flood barrier in place is so important. By prioritising flood defence measures, businesses protect themselves, their employees, and assets from potentially catastrophic effects of flooding events.
"I think the worst part about climate change for businesses of any size is to feel like there’s nothing I can do here… and I don’t think that’s the case." - Mike Cannon-Brookes, co-founder and co-CEO of Atlassian on flood protection.
The good news is that the means to ensure flood protection are already available.
Our flood barriers are expertly designed to protect properties or areas of any size, with elemental, heavy-duty, and industrial models to choose from.

All models can be used together to cover any area, terrain, or property shape and provide flood protection heights ranging from 41 to 245 cm. Our flood barriers can withstand extreme amounts of pressure caused by flooding events, storm surges, and debris.
Businesses, communities, and residents alike have benefited from our flood barriers and successfully protected personal and commercial property, allowing business as usual.
In 2019 in Maryborough, Australia, our heavy-duty flood barriers were deployed to protect the flood-prone city when predicted floods were imminent.
By previously acquiring the flood protection barriers the city was able to take control of the situation and mitigate flood damage.
Every flood is different. Factors like the cause of the flood (such as a storm surge, heavy rain, or a flash flood), the weather conditions, and the geographical positioning all play a part. Our flood barrier design varies according to the situation, allowing you to cover all bases concerning your flood protection strategy.
When it comes to water control not related to flooding, Geodesign Barriers has more than 20 years of experience producing effective cofferdams for the construction and utility industries. Cofferdams are temporary structures used to keep areas safe and dry during construction on challenging sites like dams, pipelines, or bridges.
These solutions are environmentally friendly, easy to install, and cost-effective
A good example was the use of cofferdams during the construction of the Western Harbour Tunnel crossing of Sydney Harbour, where cofferdams were placed offshore to allow for development of the land and undersea level tunnel structures.
