EFFECTIVE FLOOD SOLUTIONS IN KEEPING WITH YOUR PROPERTY
Installation
We have a team of specialist flood mitigation engineers and installation fitters, all with a comprehensive knowledge and expertise when it comes to flood defences.
So we make sure we recommend the right products for your individual property level protection solution.
All our flood engineers have been through rigorous training to ensure they install all the products to the highest of standards.
In locations that are at high flood risk or have experienced flooding very recently, there may be funding available from the local council or the Environment Agency to install Property Flood Resilience (PFR) measures. Your local authority will be able to provide more information on any ongoing or upcoming flood risk management schemes that include the provision of PFR to properties at risk.
When the barrier is not deployed, the opening remains unobstructed allowing full access as and when required.
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 2
When the threat of flooding becomes apparent, commence the deployment process by unfastening ground insert dust caps with the 6mm Allen key provided.
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 3
Once the caps have been loosened across the entire barrier length, lift the caps out to prepare each insert for deployment of demountable post.
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 4
Before inserting the demountable post, please ensure that the insert and its immediate surroundings are free from any debris.
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 5
Insert demountable post into ground insert.
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 6
Twist demountable post 90-degrees into position to accept Panel Extrusion. Note – there is no need to tighten them in place at this stage
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 7
Continue this process along the entire barrier length until all posts are deployed.
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 8
Begin inserting the first panel into the rails, ensuring that you start with the rubber sealing bottom panel first (these panels have seals on both top and bottom).
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 9
Continue the process of inserting all panels along the entire barrier length.
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 10
Ensure you insert all intermediary panels (these panels have seals on top only) Note – this step is not applicable to barriers under 800mm high.
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 11
Complete the installation by inserting all other panels until you arrive at the top panel (the only panels without rubber seals).
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 12
Secure the panels by inserting the locking blocks, by hand.
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 13
Partially tighten the vertical compression screws on the top locking block by hand or using the 8mm Allen key provided, which will depress the rubber seal on the bottom aluminium panel to the floor.
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 14
Partially tighten the horizontal compression screws either by hand or using the 6mm Allen key provided, so that panels begin to depress against the rubber seal on the inside of the channels.
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 15
Insert fixed end rail compression blocks and partially tighten by hand or using the 8mm Allen key.
QUICK TO INSTALL – STEP 16
The horizontal screws can now be fully tightened followed by the tightening of top locking and end rail compression blocks using the necessary Allen key.
