Our Industrial flood barrier is engineered with lightweight components, allowing for quick and efficient setup, transport, and storage without compromising functionality. Despite its lightweight design, this barrier has a high safety margin and is built to withstand strong currents, high water pressure, and additional loads such as waves and floating debris colliding with it at high speeds.
To ensure its reliability, our flood barrier was rigorously tested at the US Army Corps of Engineers Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory in Vicksburg, MS. The tests were conducted in accordance with the FM ANSI 2510-2020 standard and demonstrated the barrier's capability to withstand the most challenging flood conditions.
"These flood barriers can go anywhere and they are very effective when they are put in the right place at the right time. Having these mobile barriers allows us to be really flexible."
- Lt Col. Rod Small @ British Armed Forces
"It's incredible seeing what a great job those flood defences are doing."

The Industrial Flood Barrier is designed to cope with challenging conditions, in both infrastructure and natural environments. Thanks to its unique flexibility, the system can be easily installed around, over, and up against obstacles such as undulations, kerbs, walls, fences and other permanent structures.
Also, Geodesign Flood Barriers are all compatible with each other, which allows for endless possibilities and combinations to suit the specific topography and conditions on site.
To create an adjustable section with the Industrial Flood Barrier, begin by laying the metal sheet over the desired section that is less than one meter. Fix one side of the plate in the usual way, and allow the other side to rest on top of the mount button. Next, let the bottom of the panel rest in the slot located by the toe of the metal support. This will ensure that the panel remains securely in position. With these steps, you can create an adjustable section that can be tailored to your specific needs and the unique challenges of your project.
To handle sudden shifts in level, such as curbs, steps, or uneven ground, start by placing the sloping beams of the A-frames aligned and their sides flush against each other. Then, clamp together the front beams to ensure that they remain securely in place. Once the A-frames are properly aligned, you can continue building the barrier on the new level. With this technique, you can easily navigate obstacles and uneven terrain to create a sturdy and reliable barrier that meets the specific needs of your project.
The Industrial Flood Barrier features specially designed corner panels that enable sharp 45-degree inner and outer turns. These panels provide the flexibility needed to navigate corners and create a barrier that conforms precisely to the contours of your project site.
To achieve a secure fit, adjust the length of the barrier so that it aligns flush against the wall. To attach the barrier safely to a vertical foundation or structure and minimize seepage, we recommend using our wall connection kit. This kit is designed to facilitate a reliable connection between the barrier and the foundation or structure. By utilizing our wall connection kit, you can ensure that your barrier is firmly anchored and capable of providing optimal protection against potential hazards.
The Industrial Flood Barrier is not only compatible with other models within the same product family, but it can also be seamlessly integrated with the taller Heavy-Duty series. This compatibility allows for increased flexibility and adaptability in designing flood protection systems, making it easier to customize solutions that are tailored to your specific needs and requirements. The Industrial Flood Barrier offers a versatile and reliable solution for protecting your property and assets from flood damage.
Thanks to the flexibility of its modular structure and thin steel panel, the Industrial Flood Barrier enables larger bends with a 90-degree turn radius of 10 meter using only straight sections. This feature makes it easier to design custom flood protection systems that can adapt to the layout of your property and minimize the need for additional components or complex installations.
Geodesign's Industrial Flood Barrier has been expertly designed and engineered for quick installation without the need for heavy equipment, tools, or a large workforce. This innovative steel barrier has become a top choice for government entities due to its logistical advantages and unparalleled simplicity.
'To set up the barrier, begin by placing the supports along the intended barrier line, spaced at 1 meter intervals. Then, fold up each support by lifting up the front beam and unfolding the support beam. After fully extending the support beam, locate the snap lock at the bottom of the support beam and use it to lock the support in an upright position with the bottom beam. This will help ensure the barrier's integrity before the water rises and provide stability.
Hang the panels between the frames by sliding the cutout over the protruding mount knobs on the supports and overlapping the neighboring panels.
To install the membrane, roll it out along the barrier and secure it in place using panel clips at the top of the barrier. Then, attach a chain to the outer edge of the membrane on the ground and fasten it securely with cable ties.
Allow the flood water to rise onto the barrier to generate the necessary pressure to self-anchor the system. This process ensures that the barrier is firmly secured in place and can withstand the pressure of rising water levels.
"There are many places where you can't build permanent defences and in that case temporary barriers like this can make a real difference and the thing about these these new ones (Geodesign Industrial Flood Barrier) that we've acquired is that they're lighter and quicker to assemble so it will enable us to be even faster next time we need to respond."
- Sir James Bevan, Chief Executive of the EA, UK
”The speed at which this barrier (Geodesign Industrial Flood Barrier) has gone up is quite astounding. The guys after just a little bit of training have put up well 30 40 50 meters in only about 20 minutes.”
