| General | Product Type | Rapid-Deployment Flood Barrier System |
| Purpose | Provides immediate, temporary flood protection for properties, buildings, doorways, and other vulnerable areas by creating a barrier against rising floodwaters |
| Operating Principle | The barrier is lightweight when empty and fills with the encroaching floodwater, using the water's own weight to stabilize and hold the barrier firmly in place |
| Deployment Method | Quick and easy to deploy by a single person; no need for sand, heavy lifting, or complex assembly |
| Applications | Suitable for protecting homes, businesses, public buildings, entryways, driveways, critical infrastructure, and as a diversion tool for floodwaters |
| Benefits | Reusable, lightweight when empty, effective against floodwaters, rapid deployment, environmentally friendly (no sand disposal issues), durable, minimal storage space required compared to sandbags, safe and easy to handle |
| Lifespan | Designed for a long working life, making it a sustainable flood protection solution |
| Maintenance | Requires cleaning and proper storage after use (simply hose off, allow to dry, and stack) |
| Certification/Compliance | Conforms to PAS 1188-1:2014 (standard for temporary flood protection products) |
| Warranty | 10-year warranty (when subscribed to the Andel Service and Maintenance Plan) |
| Barrier Unit | Material | Durable, high-quality material (often tough, UV-stabilized polyethylene or similar robust plastic) |
| Construction | Robust, one-piece moulded construction (for individual units) |
| Interlocking Feature | Designed to interlock or connect securely with adjacent units to form a continuous, impermeable barrier |
| Weight (Empty) | Lightweight for easy transport and deployment (e.g., a single unit can be easily carried by one person) |
| Weight (Filled) | Becomes heavy and stable once filled with water, resisting movement from flood currents |
| Performance | Protection Height | Available in different sizes to protect against various flood depths (e.g., 20cm/8in, 50cm/20in, 60cm/24in, 90cm/36in) |
| Water Resistance | Forms a tight seal on flat, hard surfaces; can adapt somewhat to uneven surfaces due to its weight |
| Current Resistance | Stable against flowing water once filled |
| Sizes & Dimensions | BoxBarrier 20 (H x W x L) | 20 cm x 48 cm x 99 cm (protection height 20 cm) |
