World Class Flood Protection for World Class Properties

World Class Flood Protection for World Class Properties

FloodBreak is the new standard in flood mitigation. FloodBreak passive flood barrier systems provide permanent, fully automatic, 24/7, flood protection. Permanently installed and nearly invisible, FloodBreak flood barriers are buoyant aluminum panels that deploy without human intervention or power, lifted by the hydrostatic pressure of the rising floodwaters.

FloodBreak helps protect in three critical areas:

  • Critical Buildings – FloodBreak will protect hospitals, commercial offices and other essential buildings from flooding that forces evacuation and causes extensive damage.
  • Underground Rooms – FloodBreak can provide permanent, automatic flood protection to vent shafts and street level openings without the need for human intervention or power.
  • Roads and Tunnels – FloodBreak automatic floodgates can provide permanent, 24/7 flood protection for tunnel entrances and roads but won’t deploy until flooding actually begins.

FloodBreak passive flood barriers are integrated into building architecture

Trusted.

MD Anderson Cancer Center installed FloodBreak passive floodgates after active flood closures failed during Tropical Storm Allison and devastated the Texas Medical Center. Ten years later, they continue to install FloodBreak gates on their growing campus. Hundreds more have been installed globally. All are certified by an independent engineer. See more projects

Architectural Integration.

FloodBreak passive flood barrier systems can include a range of architectural finishes to blend with the building design. Sidewalls can incorporate stainless skins, granite cladding and other smooth finishes. The recessed floodgate can be covered with pavers, carpet or stone. We can work with you on the details of any given finish once you have some specific options.
