When flood protection becomes part of the architecture!

How do you protect an underground transit system from flooding without compromising the look and feel of the space?

Our recently completed project in Gothenburg is a good example.

We installed glass flood barriers around four major escalator pits, designed to sit naturally within the concourse rather than looking like an added security measure.

The glass keeps the space open and light, while slot-in barriers can be installed across escalators, stairwells and lift openings when flood protection is needed.

Together, the system creates a watertight perimeter around some of the most vulnerable access points into the underground network.

It’s a project where engineering and architecture had to work side by side, and we’re really pleased with the finished result.

We’re also continuing to build on this work, with a high-end residential project in Connecticut and public-sector projects in Florida and California now underway.

Different buildings, different requirements, but the same goal: effective flood protection that works with the architecture, not against it.

The Poseidon UP barrier in action!

Designed to respond automatically as floodwater rises, the Poseidon UP barrier provides a discreet, passive approach to flood protection, rising into position when it’s needed most.

🎥 Watch the test and see the system in action!

One of our team members recently visited the Orkney Islands and took the opportunity to capture some great images of our flood defence barriers and gates at Kirkwall Harbour.

It’s always great to see our projects out in the real world, especially in such a stunning location.

Thanks for sharing the photos with us! 📸

How do you choose the right flood barrier?

There isn’t one flood barrier that’s right for every site.

The right solution depends on the building, the opening, the level of flood risk, how the space is used and, importantly, whether someone will actually be there to deploy the barrier when it’s needed.

So what should you be looking at when choosing flood protection?

Our latest blog looks at the key things to consider, from removable and passive systems to access, visual impact, flood conditions and certification.

Discreet flood protection, designed around your site.

This recent installation showcases our FM Approvals certified demountable flood barrier, designed to provide effective protection against flooding while maintaining clear access when the barrier is not required.

When flood protection is required, the barrier can be deployed to provide protection against flooding. Once the risk has passed, it can be removed and stored away, leaving the opening clear and a totally flat ground surface.

The system can be designed around the requirements of the individual site, including corners, radiuses, steps and slopes, allowing flood protection to be integrated without compromising the existing layout.

Our demountable flood barrier system is certified by FM Approvals for flood heights up to 2.1m and incorporates a wide, deep bottom seal designed to sit on impervious surfaces.

Hot-dip galvanised and aluminium components provide long-term durability.

Effective flood protection is not just about the level of protection provided. It’s also about how seamlessly that protection integrates into the environment around it.

Not every flood defence needs to be permanent.

Sometimes you need a solution that can be deployed quickly, where it's needed, and removed just as easily once the risk has passed.

That's where FloodClip Flood Barrier comes in.

Designed as a temporary flood defence, FloodClip can be used to redirect floodwater away from vulnerable buildings, roads, access routes and critical infrastructure.

Its modular design makes it easy to create straight runs or corners, helping you manage water where it poses the greatest risk.

Whether it's protecting a commercial site, supporting emergency response teams or providing an extra layer of resilience during severe weather, FloodClip offers a practical, reusable alternative to sandbags.

Temporary doesn't mean compromising on performance. It means having the flexibility to respond quickly, reduce disruption and protect what matters most when floodwater is on the move.

How could a temporary flood defence make a difference to your site or community? Let us know in the comments!

Vehicle access without compromising flood protection.

Watch the Poseidon UP flood barrier being driven over, demonstrating how it provides reliable vehicle access without compromising flood resilience.

This barrier features a non-slip surface with a hard oxidation finish, delivering excellent resistance to abrasion and corrosion. Its surface performance is assessed in accordance with recognised slip resistance standards, including BS 7976-2:2002 (pendulum test method) and EN 16165. Perfect for high-volume pedestrian and vehicle access points.

The recent weather across the United States has been a stark reminder of just how disruptive flooding can be to business continuity and site operations.

In just the past few weeks, we've seen devastating flooding in Texas, while across the Northeast repeated rounds of intense thunderstorms have triggered dangerous flash flooding. Rather than being driven by tropical systems, many of these events have been caused by slow-moving storms developing in extreme heat, with some areas receiving more than two inches of rain in a single hour. When that volume of water falls so quickly, even well-designed stormwater systems can become overwhelmed, leaving businesses, critical infrastructure and communities facing significant disruption.

At the same time, wildfires in the Pacific Northwest and smoke affecting millions of people across the country have highlighted the growing challenge of managing multiple weather hazards at once.

The financial case for investing in resilience is becoming increasingly compelling. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, every $1 not invested in disaster resilience today can cost communities up to $33 in lost future economic activity.

For those responsible for critical infrastructure, commercial property and industrial sites, these kinds of events reinforce a fundamental point:

Resilience isn't something that's considered once a storm has been forecast. It needs to be built directly into the way facilities are designed, maintained and protected day-to-day.

How is your organization adjusting its long-term facility protection strategy in response to these changing weather patterns? Let's discuss below. 👇
