‘We are now geo-engineering the planet whether we want to or not. The rest of humanity’s history will involve climate change and climate control.’

The principle is simple, to have a flexible barrier that is rapidly and easily deployed and can utilise the water from the flood to create a temporary barrier.

That is to say “We fight water with water!”

Viridis offer two types of barrier; the NoFloods barrier is a light weight version that can be deployed in continuous individual lengths of up to 200m and the Beaver barrier that comes in 5m/10m/15m and 20m individual lengths.

Both systems can be extended to whatever length is required, quickly and efficiently.

Our systems are high speed installations, that not only help protect against the flooding we can forecast but also against situations that have already occurred and require a speedy emergency response. They are therefore perfect for proactive solutions for Emergency Response Planners and also reactive solutions when damage mitigation is critical.

Both systems can be deployed before or during flooding and on almost any surface; grass, tarmac, paving etc. and due to the flexible nature of their construction will adapt to undulations in the surface.

Unlike the traditional method of forming a sandbag wall, both our systems have huge operational and cost benefits versus this method.

To create a 1000 meter long wall to retain 80cm of water using the sandbag method will require @6900 man hrs, 150,000 sandbags, 2500 cubic meters of sand and 149 trucks.

Using the NoFloods system will require 16 man hrs and one truck, whilst using the Beaver system will require 64 man hrs and one truck!

Both systems have the added benefits of rapid disassembly and removal and require minimal storage space.

The NoFloods Mobile Barrier is constructed of Polypropylene (PP) and Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) tubing joined by metal terminals and junctions.

Due to the unique and innovative design and the materials used, the NoFloods Mobile Barrier shows extremely high strength but at the same time high flexibility.

The NoFloods Mobile Barrier protects people, infrastructure and the environment and has an extremely low environmental impact as the barriers are made from 100% environmental friendly and recyclable materials and the solution is 98% reusable.

The recommended head of water is directly affected by the friction between the flood barrier and the surface on which it is deployed. The above results refer to in-house testing and real life deployment data. Results will differ for each deployment.

The Beaver system is probably our most utilised system with over 40,000 meters sold and to date has been successfully deployed over 300 times throughout Europe, helping to save an estimated 100 million Euros of damage.

It is the preferred choice of The Swiss Army, many European Municipalities and the success continues with the winning of the tender to supply Hungary’s National Catastrophe Defence. The order includes eight kilometres of 20 meter long flood barriers and two kilometres of 10 meter long barriers.

The Beaver barrier system is constructed from a laminated Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) and Polyester (PES) fabric and is immensely strong and durable.

Unlike the NoFloods, it requires no junctions or terminals and connects directly to the next unit by a patented connection system. This allows it to be connected in any length required.

Please note that the S 130 model consists of two single tubes that are fastened together via roped eyelets to form a twin tube.
