Bluemont Automatic Flood Barriers
1st November 2016
“Most people don’t notice it, but it protects you from floods 24/7”
FMA Member Bluemont has recently installed 8 automatic flood barriers at Warriewood Square, in New South Wales. These barriers mostly go undetected by pedestrians but in the case of flood automatically rise up without electricity, manpower or hydraulics.
These automatic and passive barriers are called FloodBreak, and can protect against up to three metre high flood waters. The FloodBreak system uses hydrostatic pressure created by the rising flood waters to automatically activate the gate. When the flood water recedes, the gate automatically returns to its hidden position beneath the ground allowing traffic to resume.
