What if flood protection could be almost invisible?

We’re not just satisfied that our glass flood barriers are ANSI/FM 2510 approved, they have to be beautiful too, and here’s the proof! These photos have just come in from a recently completed flood scheme in Bath, next to the stunning River Avon.

Flood Control International’s glass wall flood defence system delivers powerful protection while remaining discreet and design-friendly. Engineered for seamless integration with both buildings and landscapes, these low-visibility barriers preserve the look and feel of your space without sacrificing performance. Whether incorporated into new developments or retrofitted onto existing walls and foundations, the system provides dependable defence against even the most demanding flood conditions.

Why choose FCI glass flood walls?

✅ Discreet, low-visibility flood defence
✅ Seamless integration with building and landscape design
✅ Reliable performance in extreme flood conditions
✅ Permanent protection with zero operational costs
✅ 50+ year design life & maintenance-free
✅ ANSI/FM 2510 Approved

Because the best flood protection works quietly in the background, until it’s needed most.

An on-site video showing just how straightforward the Poseidon UP barrier is to install!

This shows the first Poseidon UP passive flood barrier installation in the UK near Chipping Norton in action.

The video highlights how easy and efficient the system is to install, with everything coming together smoothly on site. A huge thank you again to Roberto Fosson and Maykol for flying in from Italy to support and oversee the installation.

Exciting times ahead working with EM Solutions - Flood Mitigation Resilience and the future of passive flood protection.
