In recent years, floods have highlighted the vulnerability of the UK’s critical infrastructure, when the Mythe Water treatment works was cut off by rising floodwaters and water supply to 350,000 people…

Boxwall is available in two heights and is able to divert flood water up to   0.75m of water, and is extremely lightweight and easy to deploy.  Although the weight of each box section is light, from under 4kg, Boxwall units stand firm without any external fastening, even when  flooded to  their full height; Boxwall flood barrier is anchored by the weight of the flood water itself.

Boxwall is a freestanding temporary flood barrier designed for fast response to flood threats in an urban environment, on hard and even surfaces like tarmac, paving and concrete.  It can be extended to an unlimited length.

Boxwall is built up by slotting together any number of box sections.  The flexible ± 3° coupling makes it possible to create curves, but it is also possible to make inward and outward corners using specific corner pieces.

Boxwall is particularly useful during flash flooding to control fast flowing water, diverting it away from vulnerable entrances.  The Boxwall sections simply sit on  the asphalt and divert the water.

The City of Orlando continues to collect hurricane debris. Information on tips on how to separate and report storm debris can be found on our storm debris page.

A speed hump or speed cushion is a raised section of pavement that calms traffic and slows speeds by providing vertical deflection. A speed cushion is the same as a speed hump, but it provides cutouts that allow emergency vehicles and bikes to pass unaffected.

After the flood, the Boxwall units are  easily dismantled and can be cleaned using a garden hose.  The box sections are stackable, which means they require very little space to store and are easy to transport.
