FloodBreak® Flip-up passive flood barrier

FloodBreak® provides customised passive flood barrier systems engineered to protect nearly any vulnerable area and effectively reduce your flood risk.

 

Permanently installed and almost invisible, our revolutionary automatic flood barriers offer constant, 24/7 protection for vulnerable openings without needing power or human action.

 

These innovative systems activate automatically when floodwaters rise, responding instantly to threats and ensuring your property remains safeguarded—even in emergencies when response time is critical.

FloodBreak® solutions are suitable for a wide range of applications, including residential buildings, commercial properties, public infrastructure, and critical facilities. Designed for durability and minimal maintenance, each barrier is tailored to seamlessly integrate with your site’s architecture and operational needs. 

With a proven track record in diverse environments, our passive flood barriers deliver reliable, cost-effective protection and peace of mind for years to come.

 

FloodBreak® How It Works

Deployed (Active)

As floodwaters rise, the FloodBreak® Automatic Flood Barrier uses the water’s own hydrostatic pressure to lift into a fully deployed 90° position. 


This creates a highly effective, sealed barrier that holds back the flood.

Open (Passive)

When the FloodBreak® Automatic Flood Barrier is not deployed, the barrier sits flush with the ground, allowing for unobstructed vehicle and pedestrian traffic. 

 

Its horizontal design requires only a shallow set-down for installation, making it an ideal flood defence solution for sites with limited space or challenging terrain.

Each FloodBreak® passive flood barrier is custom-manufactured for your specific site, offering limitless application possibilities. Uniquely, our systems do not require any stanchions or support beams. This innovative design means our flood barriers can span continuous, uninterrupted lengths that are simply not possible with other flood defence systems.

Key Benefits of FloodBreak® Passive Flood Barriers

Drain stoppers & accessories

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.
