Developed in Holland, the ingenious HYFLO Self Closing Flood Barrier SCFB™ is a unique flood defense system that effectively protects property from floodwaters and requires no manpower whatsoever for effective deployment.
This award-winning system automatically deploys a buoyant floodwall from below grade to provide optimal protection against high water. The SCFB preserves a building’s aesthetics and requires no valuable space. It can be built into a permanent floodwall or levee, as well as any opening in a building or facility.
COMPLETE FLOOD PROTECTION - NO NOTICE REQUIRED!
The SCFB is ideal when flood protection cannot be dependent on a person being available in times of need. The barrier rises instantly with floodwaters and is self-closing when high waters recede. If preferred, it can also be easily raised manually before a storm.
APPLICATIONS — THE SCFB AT WORK…
Since 1998, the SCFB has seen action around the globe in more than 2,000 floods with a 100% success record!
This system is ideal for perimeter protection again riverine or tidal flooding as well as for large openings in any critical or historically important facility. It is ideal for below-grade parking garages, public transportation applications, power plants, protection of roads, or in urban environments where there is no storage and a building’s aesthetics cannot be compromised.
HOW THE SCFB WORKS ...
In storage position, all operational parts of the barrier are concealed in an underground storage basin. The basin in covered with a connected lid and is flush to adjacent ground. |
When floodwaters rise, an inlet pipe fills the basin and the flood barrier floats and rises. When the basin is totally filled, an angled support block locks the barrier into watertight position. |
The floodwaters continue to rise without flooding the protected area. When the water subsides, the basin drains using check valves and the barrier returns to its storage position. |
