ABOUT

The Self Closing Flood Barrier SCFB™, is a unique effective flood defense system to protect people and property from inland waterway floods caused by heavy rainfall, typhoons or tidal waters. The system has been developed in the Netherlands to provide optimal protection against extreme high water levels. The barrier systems have proved to be the best flood protection and has already been built and installed in many countries around the globe.

In operational use globally since 1998, the SCFB™ is acclaimed as the world's most effective and reliable flood protection system. The success can be attributed to the simple, but ingenious concept of using the approaching floodwaters to automatically raise the barrier; effectively using the problem to create the solution. With an unblemished 100% track record the SCFB™ is a highly favorable preference when specifying optimal and cost effective but passive flood defence.

Rapid onset flooding usually causes the greatest damage due to the lack of time to deploy the more traditional type of manually operated floodgates and "demountable" systems, typically stored off site, and requiring human intervention. The SCFB overcomes all the issues associated with these older- generation flood defenses and has the considerable advantage of not requiring any intervention during a flood warning, which would otherwise put lives at risk. The SCFB underwent more than 70 tests; these tests included static load, dynamic load, buoyancy force, sand and gravel tests, duration tests (35 days) extreme temperature tests, earthquakes tests, and obstruction tests. These tests concluded that the barrier never stayed stuck and rose in all tests. The SCFB remained watertight in all tests. The system is made of very durable materials designed to at least for 100 years and remains virtually maintenance free of many years.
