DefenCell: Environmental and Flood
Flood Protection
DefenCell has been proven in action, and in thorough testing, to be an effective and easily installed Flood Protection barrier. Using DefenCell to build new defences, enhance existing protection measures or reinforce weakened levees ensures that communities, towns and farms are protected. 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
A simple one metre high (or just 0.50m) wall will be sufficient to stop all but the most extreme flooding. Adding this to an existing levee or embankment is a quick and easy solution and many times faster than installing the equivalent barrier using sandbags.
Testing has shown DefenCell to be many times faster to install than sandbags and also much faster and easier to remove when the threat has passed. Reports on two recent deployments on the Ohio River in the US and in Ontario, Canada have proved the operational capabilities of DefenCell.
