Introducing the C184 Heavy Duty flood barrier — a high-performance member of our Heavy Duty series. Like its siblings, the C184 employs a triangular metal support frame that unfolds and is held in place by three horizontal connection rods. Aluminum panels are hung onto these rods, and the entire barrier is sealed against the ground by a laminate-coated, high-density polyethylene membrane.
As with all Geodesign Barriers, the C184 can be deployed without tools, machinery, or ground preparation. Rising water pressure acts to push the barrier into the substrate, creating a self-anchoring effect.
Whereas the C152 uses two aluminum panels and two rods to bring the barrier to 152 cm, the C184 extends this design to reach a dam height of 184 cm. This makes the C184 ideal when you need a robust flood barrier that still benefits from the streamlined setup and reliability of our Heavy Duty system — balancing greater height with efficient deployment.
