TubeBarrier Flood Barrier Specifications & Installation Guide: Smart, Fast and Reusable Temporary Flood Defense
If you’ve purchased a 10-meter element of the TubeBarrier, congratulations — you now own one of the most innovative temporary flood protection systems on the market. But what exactly are the flood barrier specifications? How does it work? And how do you store or deploy it efficiently? This guide walks you through everything you need to know, from installation to operational principles.
What Is the TubeBarrier?
The TubeBarrier is a reusable, stackable, water-filled flood barrier system designed for fast and tool-free deployment. The system is engineered to fight floods using the force of water itself — a philosophy we call fighting water with water. This makes it one of the most efficient flood mitigation solutions available today.
How It’s Delivered: Compact & Ready to Deploy
Each TubeBarrier unit is supplied in a folded accordion-style form, stored compactly inside a pallet box measuring 100 x 120 x 120 cm. A single unit stretches out to 10 meters in length when fully deployed. The folded form takes up just 1 meter, making it one of the most space-saving flood protection products on the market.
Because of its unique assemble-to-order (ATO) approach, each TubeBarrier is built per order, ensuring minimal waste and optimized logistics.
Flood Barrier Specifications
- Length (extended): 10 meters per unit
- Length (collapsed): 1 meter
- Barrier Height: [insert exact height]
- Weight (dry): [insert dry weight]
- Material: UV-resistant, industrial-grade polymer
- Filling Mechanism: Water inflow from rising floodwaters
- Storage Box Size: 100 x 120 x 120 cm
- Installation Time: < 10 minutes per 10-meter unit
- Connections: Tool-free click/lock system
- Deployment Surface: Works on concrete, asphalt, and compacted soil
This barrier is particularly effective for urban areas, critical infrastructure, and emergency services requiring deployable flood protection that’s both strong and easy to install.
How It Works: The Science Behind the Design
To understand the mechanics of the TubeBarrier, imagine a child’s paddling pool. Even with a shallow layer of water, it’s difficult to move because the weight creates significant pressure on the bottom surface. The same physical principle drives the effectiveness of the TubeBarrier.
As floodwaters rise, they naturally flow into the barrier, filling the inner chambers. This adds weight, increases surface pressure, and enhances stability. No external pump or fill equipment is needed. The system self-activates — the higher the water level, the stronger the anchoring.
Installation Process: Simple and Fast
No need for a toolbox, no need for an engineering degree. Here’s how you install the TubeBarrier:
- Place the pallet box near the risk area.
- Open the lid and pull the folded barrier outward like an accordion until the full 10 meters is extended.
- Connect multiple units using the integrated locking system.
- Wait for rising water to activate the system.
Within minutes, your area is protected. This is why we call it rapid flood barrier deployment — it’s protection on demand.
Stackable and Reusable Design
Once the flood recedes, the barriers can be drained, cleaned, dried, and folded back into their pallet boxes. These boxes are designed for stackability, allowing for easy transport and warehouse storage. We recommend storing the TubeBarrier in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage or odor buildup.
Ideal Use Cases
- Commercial buildings
- Residential flood zones
- Municipal utilities and infrastructure
- Temporary construction sites
- Event and festival grounds
- Military and emergency response operations
Wherever you need portable flood barriers that don’t compromise on strength or speed, the TubeBarrier is a trusted choice.
Storage & Maintenance Tips
- Store dry and clean in a ventilated environment
- Use the original pallet boxes for optimal stacking
- Inspect seals and connectors annually
- Replace worn parts with certified TubeBarrier components
