The SCFB™ Mini (1m) and Midi (2.5m) systems are activated when flood water rises to within 100mm of flood level. A small filling pipe, which is situated adjacent to the barrier at 40mm below flood level, allows water to fill the basin in the pit and the barrier floats and rises
When the basin is completely full, the closing surface locks the barrier in a watertight position.
This self contained unit comprises a polyester basin; a polyester floating barrier wall which is 40mm thick; a PUR foam core that allows it to float without absorbing any water.
When the flood level subsides, the basin is drained using a pump which is surface mounted. Located in a waterproof compartment this function allows the barrier to return to its resting position. The surface lid on the barrier prevents the inflow of waste or debris into the system.
The SCFB™ - Mini & Midi need a 220V connection. The systems can be fitted as standard with a telemetry early warning system that can be remotely monitored.
