The Guppy™ Water Filled Flood Tube provides an easy and effective water barrier that will help protect against dangerous flooding.  Use these water filled dams to redirect water and to prevent flood damage at homes, offices, tents, factories and municipal buildings.

Each water filled flood control barrier becomes heavy with water when filled, creating a durable berm that protects against rising floodwaters. This solution provides you with a simple and reusable setup so that you are always ready for whenever you face a flood threat.

MINNOW™ WATER ACTIVATED GEL-FILLED FLOOD BAGS

The Minnow™️ Water Activated Gel Filled Flood Bags offers compact storage, incredible water absorption, and a no-mess clean up after a flood. 

Unlike sandbags, which must be filled and deployed using a large crew, the Minnow™️ sandbag alternative contains a super absorbent gel, which absorbs water and inflates, creating a durable flood barrier against rising water and flooding. Because Minnow™️ is water activated, Minnow bags are stored flat, ready to be transported quickly to the flood site. Flood bags only swell when exposed to water.

In less than 5 minutes when exposing them to water, these sandless sandbags will swell with gel into a significant sandbag alternative for flood protection.

Minnow flood bags are available in a standard pillow shape, as well as a stackable square shape with dynamic carrying handles for quick set up. Both flood bag options are available in black and white colors.

  • Minnow Standard Flood Bag Dimensions: 15.75” W x 23.62” L x 4.72” H

  • Minnow Square Flood Bag Dimensions: 15.75” W x 14.17” L x 4.72” H

Minnow bags are also going to be on par with the average traditional sandbag when it comes to weight. Having a durable, activated flood barrier at your disposal will help stand up against incoming flood waters.

  • Pre-Activated Wright: 9.6oz (Standard) and 11.6oz (Handle)

  • Activated Weight: 39-44 lbs.

In a world where time is valuable when reacting to a flood, these bags are a must have tool in your emergency plan. Ease of use and deployment fit with the changing times as we enter 2023. Having flood barriers that you can not only store all year round, but deploy rapidly is pivotal to your protection success.


HAMMERHEAD™ ALUMINUM FLOOD PLANK BARRIER

Protecting entryways is one of the most important purposes of a highly effective flood barrier. As soon as water enters the interior of infrastructure, just one inch of flooding can cause tens of thousands of dollars in flood damage repairs.

Therefore, the Hammerhead™️ Aluminum Flood Barrier System is the perfect solution to stop flooding in its tracks. Hammerhead acts as a flood panel barrier system and results in a durable “stop-log” flood barrier with extremely high protection. Planks insert one by one between U-Channel Posts installed in an entryway.

Each plank can be up to 12ft wide depending on the length of protection your area needs. As a complete system with the maximum number of planks, Hammerhead Flood Barriers can provide protection up to 6.5ft high.

The Hammerhead effectively protects your entrances and doorways from major flooding. This solution is perfect for window wells, loading docks, basement stairwells, perimeter openings, garages, ramps and more. With simple installation you save valuable time by rapid deployment and peace of mind with a secure flood mitigation system.


BELUGA™ OVERSIZED SAND FILLED FLOOD BARRIER BAG

The Beluga™ Large Bag Flood Barrier is a unique flood control system that is ideal for protection of important property and infrastructure.

Beluga™ is available in single bags or concertina style 5-compartment bags, and includes heavy duty lifting straps for ease of installation and placement.

  • Single Beluga Bags (BG1) are 3ft Long, 3ft Wide and 40in High

  • 5-Compartment Beluga Bags (BG5) are 15ft Long, 3ft Wide and 40in High

Beluga™ bags ship flattened on pallets, ready to be opened, positioned and filled on site. Each flood barrier bag replaces approximately 750 standard sandbags. Because there’s no wasted space, Beluga™ Barriers use roughly 1/2 the amount of sand required for an equivalent sandbag barrier and significantly less labor to position and fill.

There are a variety of applications that the Beluga™ Bag flood barriers can assist with such as:

  • Water Diversion

  • Sewer Drain Sealing

  • Cofferdams

  • Levee Heightening

  • Coastal Erosion

  • Storm Surge Protection

Beluga™ Large Bag Flood Barriers can be installed and filled by a relatively small crew and deployed quickly in advance of an expected flood. A new year means even better efficiency than the past. That is why Beluga™ Bags fit perfectly amongst the best flood barriers to secure your location from massive flood events.
