One Moving Part. Minimal Maintenance. 24/7 Protection.Did we say Revolutionary?
Floodbreak's concept is simple -- it uses the power of the flood water against itself to protect your assets and human life. It's a floating panel that hinges into a recess in the pavement immediately in front of the entrance. Its normal position is down, allowing full-time protection without affecting traffic or otherwise changing the look and feel of the area. The barrier's surface finish can be matched to existing decorative elements as required.
When water rises and approaches the entrance, FloodBreak floats and rotates upwards. The higher the water rises, the higher the gate rises in front of it. The hydrostatic pressure of the backed-up floodwater raises the barrier and activates the self-sealing rubber flange. Once a flood has begun, the barrier will be held shut by the water and cannot be opened until the water recedes, when FloodBreak returns to the lowered position, opening the entrance once again. The width is unlimited, and the height can be whatever you need it to be. Floodbreak provides the only practical passive, 100% automatic floodgate on the market.
