The new Geodesign Steel Barrier - the fourth generation of our barriers.
|

Two connection rods per support give strength to the barrier.
|

The aluminium-sheets give dam height of 1.25 meter for this version.
|

A rough surface on back of the sheets, increase the side stability of the barrier.

The Swiss Flood Rescue Authority in a real test of flood barriers in Vals May 2003, along Hinterrhein.
|

The test was to erect the barrier in streaming water.
|

The alu-sheets was easy to deploy in water.
|

The barrier follow uneven bottom grounds as seen.
|

The test site in Hinterrhein, with total six different flood barriers.
|

In June 2003, the barrier was tested as an oilbarrier, to protect the shoreline from oil contamination.
|

Instead of a plastic membrane we use a geotextile.
|

The barrier was placed 1-2 meter out from shoreline.
|

The strong frame enable the system to take heavy forces from the sea.
|

The shape of the alu-sheets make it possible to take undulation of ground.
