Flood Protection

Defencell Flood Walls act as an efficient and highly effective flood barrier and flood wall alternative to sandbags. Lightweight and stackable, Defencell Flood Walls are designed as water containment barriers to help first responders construct flood protection much faster than traditional sandbag methods. Tested by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Defencell Flood Walls significantly outperform sandbags through:

• Faster installation and removal time
• Less water seepage
• Better overall system endurance

The Defencell textile is porous ensuring there is no build-up of water and the flow-through of water or moisture also improves compaction, leading to greater performance.  Defencell Flood Walls are engineered to provide:

• Flexible design and contours to adapt to rugged terrain
• Ease of transportation - light weight and compact for remote installation

During the spring floods of 2011, Defencell Flood Walls were employed to defend municipalities along the flood zones from Canada down the Mississipi River to Louisiana.
