Introducing the C152 Heavy Duty flood barrier, one of five models in our Heavy Duty series. Like its siblings, the C152 features a triangular metal support that folds out and is connected with two connection rods. Aluminum sheets are hung on the connection rods, and the barrier is covered with a laminate-coated high-density polyethylene membrane to create a seal against the ground.
As with all Geodesign Barriers, the C152 can be set up without any tools, machinery, or groundwork. The water pressure pushes the barrier into the ground and makes it self-anchoring.
The C152 uses only two aluminum sheets and two connection rods, similar to the C122. However, with a larger aluminum sheets, the C152 achieves an impressive dam height of 152 cm. The barrier strikes an optimized balance between height and speed, providing quick and efficient protection against flooding.
