Geodesign offers three series of flood protection barriers with 11 models, designed to handle various flooding scenarios. Based on the same principle, they vary in dam height and design to suit specific needs. Ideal as both Commercial Flood Barriers and Flood Barriers for Homes, they can be quickly installed without tools, even in high-pressure situations.
The Elemental is designed with practicality in mind, catering to dam heights of 16 and 24 inches. Flash floods can be disruptive, but with the Elemental's two-part metal design, setting up lengthy flood barriers becomes straightforward and timely. For storage concerns, it's worth noting that up to 0.62 miles of the Elemental can fit neatly into a 20 ft container.
Elemental is meticulously crafted to offer robust protection against floodwaters rising up to 24 inches. It showcases a streamlined design comprising just two components: a durable metal support and a metal sheet. Unlike its counterpart in the Geodesign product series, there's no need to unfold supports; simply position them.
This efficient design facilitates rapid installation over extended lengths, ensuring timely flood prevention. Beyond merely acting as a barrier against rising water, Elemental is adept at managing the rush of water during events like flash floods – a common occurrence in urban areas due to water accumulation on streets.
But the utility of Elemental doesn't stop at flood protection. Its versatile design allows for the creation of reservoirs for various liquids. Owing to its adaptive nature, it can be molded into diverse shapes and sizes for temporary containment needs. Furthermore, Elemental promises convenience in storage: 164 feet of the system occupies just 10.8 square feet, and a 0.62-mile barrier can be neatly packed into a standard 20-foot container.

The Elemental Flood Barrier is ingeniously designed to seamlessly integrate with any landscape, effortlessly contouring around permanent obstructions in its path. With our innovative corner panels, a versatile wall connection kit, and intrinsic system flexibility, the Elemental Flood Barrier stands robust, reliable, and ready to tackle any challenge.
Whether you're meeting midway from two ends or targeting a precise endpoint, our design allows for intuitive adjustments. Simply overlap two panels and secure them at one end with the mount button lock.
From curbs and steps to the unpredictability of uneven terrains, the use of thin high-strength steel sheets ensures the barrier remains steadfast and effective, adapting effortlessly to varied landscapes.
Our meticulously crafted corner panels enable sharp 45-degree inner and outer bends, making angular adjustments a breeze.
Align your barrier flawlessly against a wall. Our specialized wall connection kit ensures a secure attachment to any vertical foundation, all while reducing water seepage to a minimum.
The Elemental Flood Barrier isn't just versatile with its own kin. It's equally adaptable with our taller Industrial series, expanding its scope of utility.
Even with straight sections, our barrier boasts the ability to gracefully curve with a generous 90-degree turn and a radius of 33 feet—once again highlighting the modular design's flexibility and the efficiency of our thin steel panels.
The Elemental Flood Barrier, the most compact offering in Geodesign's product range, combines engineering precision with user-friendly design. Crafted for swift and simple installation, it does away with the need for tools, heavy machinery, or a large team. This advanced steel barrier emerges as the go-to choice for those not only aiming to counteract rising waters during floods but also desiring to efficiently direct water flow in urban areas during unexpected flash floods.
Efficiently set the supports at intervals of 3'3", delineating the desired path of the barrier.
Simply align the panel cutouts with the prominent mount knobs on the supports. Overlap adjacent panels for a seamless fit.
Unroll the poly membrane across the barrier's length and secure it using spring clamps. In windy conditions, enhance stability by adding chain ballasts.
Allow incoming flood water to make contact with the poly membrane and the barrier's surface. The barrier ingeniously uses the force of the water to anchor itself securely in place.
The Elemental Series encompasses two modular steel flood barriers, each crafted with sections of tilted panels capable of halting floodwaters up to 24 inches. The E-barrier not only offers swift and straightforward deployment but also boasts optimal logistical features and extended durability. Designed to satisfy the stringent requirements of governmental rapid flood protection, it's compact enough to fit comfortably within a typical homeowner's garage or garden shed. This robust steel barrier is erected swiftly, anchors itself, and resolutely stands against rapid water currents and overflows.
Beneath the bottom beam, protruding steel collars are strategically placed to secure a grip, enhancing the friction between the self-anchored barrier and the ground surface.
A smart, innovative solution that accelerates assembly while boosting flexibility.
Weighing just 15.4 lbs per E61-panel, this 39.37 mil hot-dip galvanized steel sheet is both user-friendly and storage-efficient. Crafted from Dual Phase Steel by SSAB in Sweden, it offers superior tensile strength and corrosion resistance.
Clamps Highly effective spring clamps exert a powerful grip, ensuring the poly membrane remains firmly in place.
Our high-density polyethylene membrane, enhanced with laminate coating, is designed to minimize leakage and amplify its self-anchoring prowess.
Triangular barrier supports are designed for stacking, drastically reducing storage space. Their reclined front incorporates a mount knob for rapid assembly, while the bottom anchor wings feature sharp collars to provide maximum ground friction.
All pivotal components of the Elemental Barrier are crafted from high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel with micro-alloy elements. Every steel piece undergoes a hot-dip galvanization process with a zinc coating, ensuring corrosion protection.
These 0.2 inches x 16.4 feet chains not only serve as ballast but also ensure the membrane remains grounded before the water reaches the barrier.
The Elemental Flood Barrier boasts a stackable design, ensuring space-efficient storage and swift transportation readiness for flood situations. A span of 164 feet, divided into 50 sections, of the Elemental Flood Barrier occupies a mere 14 square feet. For those seeking peak efficiency, the Elemental can be packed in our custom-designed metal crates. This meticulous design allows a staggering 3,281 feet of the Elemental barrier to fit snugly within a standard 20-foot container.
