Deployable Flood Barrier Systems

Rapidly deployed, FM and ANSI 2510-approved flood protection for building openings and perimeter segments while preserving day-to-day access and operations.

Engineered deployable flood barrier system installed at commercial storefront for perimeter flood protection.

Engineered, Permitted, Installed, and Supported by FloodReady

FloodReady delivers deployable flood barrier systems for commercial and critical facilities across Southwest Florida, engineered for site-specific flood conditions and regulatory approval, then professionally installed and supported long term.

System Applications

Deployable systems are well suited for facilities that require temporary or seasonal flood protection without permanent obstructions.

Common applications include:

  • Building entrances and storefront openings

  • Parking garage and ramp entrances

  • Courtyards and internal site perimeter segments

  • Critical power, water and other utility fields

  • Critical access points requiring daily use

System Considerations

System selection depends on site conditions, operational needs, and long-term ownership considerations.

    • Engineered for site-specific condition and flood risks

    • Designed to protect wide openings and perimeter segments

    • System options available based on compliance requirements

    • Durable sealing interfaces with replaceable sealing components

    • Rapid deployment by trained facility personnel

    • Configurable protection lengths and barrier heights

    • Minimal visual impact when not deployed

    • No permanent gates or obstructions during normal operations

    • Organized storage and readiness solutions available

    • Inspection, training, and long-term service support provided

System Configurations

Deployable flood barrier systems are assembled from coordinated components selected based on site geometry, design criteria, and operational needs.


Flood Log Barrier Systems

Manufacturer:
Flood Panel of Floodproofing.com

Aluminum flood log barrier system components designed for modular stacking and watertight sealing.

Flood log systems are modular, vertically stacked aluminum barrier assemblies engineered to withstand site-specific flood loads, debris impact, and high-velocity flow conditions. These systems are widely used in flash-flood and hurricane-prone environments and have a long, proven national track record. Certified system options are available that meet or exceed applicable IBC requirements and comply with FEMA and FM Global standards.

Flood log systems are designed to protect wide openings and perimeter segments under defined flood conditions. Individual logs are installed within fixed side receiver frames and sealed at each interface to resist hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures during flood events.

Deployable aluminum flood log barrier system installed at commercial building entrance to prevent water intrusion.

Common characteristics include:

  • Structural extruded aluminum barrier logs

  • Anchored side receiver channel frames

  • Replaceable compression sealing gaskets

  • Scalable protection heights by design

  • Lightweight components for rapid deployment

  • Efficient on-site storage solutions

Flood log systems can be engineered in multiple configurations, from large openings to extended perimeter runs. Final design considers substrate capacity, anchorage, flood loading, and operational constraints to ensure reliable system performance.

Flood Shield Panel Systems

Manufacturer:
Flood Panel of Floodproofing.com

Aluminum flood shield panel barrier system components designed for modular stacking and watertight sealing.

Flood Shield Panel systems are removable aluminum flood barrier assemblies designed to protect individual openings such as doors, storefronts, windows, and vehicle access points under defined flood conditions.

Panels are custom-engineered to match site geometry and design flood elevation, then installed into fixed mounting frames and sealed with compression gaskets to resist hydrostatic pressure and floodwater impact. Depending on opening width and loading requirements, panels may incorporate mid-span supports or angled braces to maintain structural performance.

Removable flood shield panel system installed at commercial storefront entrance for temporary flood protection.

Common characteristics include:

  • Custom aluminum removable barrier panels

  • Engineered anchorage and mounting frames

  • Compression sealing gasket interfaces

  • Mid-span supports or bracing elements

  • Rapid deployment by trained personnel

Flood Shield Panels are well suited for facilities requiring targeted opening protection, openings where deployable protection is preferred over permanent glazing. It also allows installations along sloped surfaces, or locations where rapid deployment and minimal visual impact during normal operations are required.
