Flooding is an increasing global challenge, driven by population growth, urbanisation, and climate change. These factors place immense strain on infrastructure, raising the risk of flood events that can devastate properties and communities. Fortunately, with the advancements in technology and flood prevention solutions, we can now mitigate these risks and protect our homes and businesses.
Our flood protection solutions are specifically designed for homeowners, engineers, and government bodies in flood-prone areas.
We offer a comprehensive solution that integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure while complying with regulatory standards.
Before diving into our solutions, it’s important to understand the severity of flood risks. Heavy rainfall is one of the main triggers for flooding, but other factors such as inadequate drainage systems, land development in floodplains, and natural disasters like hurricanes can also contribute to floods. As climate change continues to cause extreme
The impact of flooding goes far beyond the immediate, visible destruction of valuable property like cars, furniture, and electrical systems. There are also severe, long-term effects that are not easily seen but can lead to significant health problems and, in the worst cases, structural failure.
Flooding can happen anywhere, and the effects are often worsened by local changes like higher road levels or new fencing along waterways.
Urban areas are often under development, which can lead to damaged or insufficient drainage infrastructure. This prevents water from exiting an area quickly, causing flooding to local communities and properties. Basements, underground car parks, utility wells, and ground-level utility installations are particularly high-risk areas.
Effective flood protection starts by stopping water from getting in. This is typically achieved by building up the ground level or constructing permanent flood walls where possible, which is often the most cost-effective long-term solution.
Recommended materials include waterproof concrete, brick walls, and metals that can withstand water pressure.
For openings needed to access the property, it is best to install floodproof doors and windows. Alternatively, quick-to-install demountable or Passive flood barriers are an excellent option for car and lorry entrances.
At AS FRIIS LTD., our focus is on creating low-maintenance, reliable flood protection solutions that work when required. Through our partnerships with industry leaders , we develop and provide tailored solutions for flood mitigation that protect lives and assets in private homes, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and municipalities.
AS FRIIS also offers regular flood-proofing audits to ensure that all prevention equipment is properly maintained and to inspect the property for any changes that could increase the risk of flooding.
Fast deployable flood protection barrier for versatile use in flood protection and controlling water flow.
Cold Flood Prevention is a unique modular system, which consists of a series of elongated sections that can be attached to each other and thereby the length is easily adaptable to suit the extent of the flood.
The barrier is filled with water, which creates a massive pressure that seals the surface and enables the barrier to withstand and divert floodwater. The barrier’s cellular construction ensures that it remains stable on any surface irrespective of external conditions making the barrier extremely robust and highly effective in preventing flooding. Available in heights from 420 mm up to 1,1170 mm flood protection heights.
Fast and easy deployable aluminum flood protection barrier for fences, gates and doors
Friiva Gate and Fence barriers is a unique modular system made from aluminum. The system is versatile and can be customized to most height and length requirements to protect building or areas as required.
The barrier panels and posts are constructed in durable aluminum alloy. The aluminum barrier panels provide flood protection in vertical increments of 200 mm logs/planks.
The barrier panels stack on top of one another and most applications can be installed by one person.
Fast and easy deployable composite flood protection barrier for gates and doors
Dam Easy offers an excellent alternative to heavy and messy sandbags, this barrier provides the first line of defense to prevent water from entering doors and windows in your home.
When flooding happens, the ability to act quickly is critical. This flood protection barrier provides you with reliable flood protection at your fingertips as it can be installed in under 5 minutes! The Dam Easy door is 720 mm height and easily offers flood protection up to 600 mm
Easy deployable drain stoppers and back flow valves.
The increasing extreme climate puts an enormous pressure on drainage systems. Heavy rainfall often overwhelms the drainage system that cannot cope with the massive water runoff. This results in flooded and contaminated areas around the systems as well as dangerous situations when manhole covers are opened to cope with the excess water.
AS FRIIS offers a range of products from Drain stoppers, Knife gate valves and back flov valves to mitigate flooding from drains and wells.
