Temporary Flood Barrier for Municipalities & Water Boards
Deploy fast. Protect vital infrastructure. Avoid sandbags. TubeBarrier gives public authorities a proven, reusable flood barrier that installs in minutes, stores compactly, and scales from a single street to entire districts.
Why Municipalities Choose TubeBarrier
- 🚧 One 10 m unit replaces ~670 sandbags — faster, lighter, cleaner.
- ⚡ Deploy up to 100 m per hour with a 4-person crew (no heavy lifting).
- 📦 Folded size per unit: 160 × 100 × 60 cm; dry weight ~75 kg — easy storage & logistics.
- 💧 Self-filling design: uses incoming water pressure — no pumps no power.
- 🌍 Works on asphalt, grass, gravel, and mixed terrain; adapts to minor unevenness.
- ♻️ Reusable for 20+ years; minimal waste compared with single-use sandbags.

Training & Exercises
Hands-on sessions for fire brigades, civil protection teams, and volunteers. Table-top plus on-site drills.
Documentation
Multilingual installation guides, SOPs, maintenance checklists, and kit inventories for rapid deployment.
Real-World Municipal Applications
- 🌊 Temporary levees along rivers, canals, and low-lying quays.
- 🚒 Flash-flood response for fire brigades and civil protection units.
- 🏞️ Safeguarding parks, heritage sites, and public squares.
- 🏭 Perimeter protection for treatment plants, pumping stations, and utilities.
- 🏗️ Site-specific shielding for schools, hospitals, and event venues.
“Instead of moving thousands of sandbags, we can now deploy 300 meters in under four hours with a small crew — and we can reuse it the next season.”
– Municipal Crisis Manager, Belgium
How the Temporary Flood Barrier Works
The barrier is placed dry and fills automatically under incoming water pressure. A dual-chamber profile improves sealing and stability on varied surfaces. Units zip together to form straights, bends, or T-junctions, enabling continuous protection across complex streetscapes.
No pumps • No external power • Minimal tools • Rapid demobilization
Leasing & Framework Agreements
Budgets and risk profiles vary. We offer acquisition options that meet public-sector needs:
- 📦 Seasonal leasing for flood-prone periods with training bundles.
- 📃 Regional framework contracts to equip multiple towns and cities cost-effectively.
- 🏗️ Direct purchase for water boards integrating TubeBarrier into resilience plans.
We can provide TCO comparisons vs. sandbags and pump-led strategies to support budget approvals.
