Flood Barrier Test Results

Test Overview
For the past several months, we have conducted rigorous testing of our flood barriers in a controlled test tank environment to evaluate their performance under various flood conditions. The tests focused on the barriers’ ability to mitigate flooding and the extent of leakage under different water heights.

Test Results

• Flood Barriers are a First Line of Defense: Our flood plank barriers serve as an effective initial level of flood mitigation. However, some leakage occurs, with the amount of leakage dependent on the height of the water against the barriers.
• Specific Findings:
  • At 30 inches of water height in the test tank, the barriers exhibited minimal leakage 1.5 gallons per hour with no flood bags deployed to slow the flow, indicating strong performance for moderate flood levels, when we added the flood bags at this water level it significantly reduced the flow.
  • At a higher water level 7 Planks 51” high, the barriers experienced higher leakage. 3 Gallons per hour with flood bags deployed across the entire barriers. (see picture above)
  • The manufacturer states that the flood bags hold up to 50 lbs. of water which translates to 6 gallons, and we were able to verify the bags hold roughly 6 gallons of water.

• Our flood barriers provide effective protection against moderate flooding, with minimal leakage observed at water heights up to 30 inches. However, at higher water levels, leakage increases, underscoring the need for supplementary mitigation measures. By combining our flood plank barriers with the recommended strategies above, clients can significantly reduce flood damage and enhance their property’s resilience.
