Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flood barrier and system, in particular to a flood barrier and system to protect property from rising waters.
  • Prior art flood barrier systems require users to activate barriers in response to flooding or flood warnings.
  • the present invention providers a barrier and system which activates automatically in response to a rise in water level in a trough or chamber.
  • the invention provides a flood barrier that is extendable upon rising water levels.
  • the waterproof element of the barrier rises with tising water levels.
  • a float is attached to the waterproof element or to a support element, such as a louvre, and causes the barrier to rise.
  • the support elements or louvres are in an extended position when water levels in the trough or chamber are high and are in a non-extended position when no water or little water is in the trough.
  • the extent of the extension of the barrier depends on the position of the float, which in turn depends on the level of water in the chamber or trough.
  • the flood barrier operates by water entering a trough when this water comes into contact with the float on top of the highest waterproof covered louvre the louvered wall tises ahead of the incoming water creating a barrier around the protected property.
  • the louvres 6 are in situ in the concrete trough 2. These louvres 6 are encapsulated with a waterproof membrane 4. In an alternative embodiment the louvres may be only partially covered by a warterproof membrane.
  • this membrane 4 On the lower end of this membrane 4 is a weight 3 which is sunk into the concrete dough base 2. At the lowest point of the trough is a drainage outflow 11 allowing any small amounts of rain to drain away.
  • Figure 2 shows the nuts and bolts 7 passing through the cut out slides 10. This allows the louvres 6 to travel up and down whilst holding the unit together.
  • the scaling overlap S is bonded or welded to the next flood barrier unit to eventually surround the property to be protected.
  • Figure 3 is an overheard plan of the unit minus the hinged lid 8.
  • a drainage outlet situated at the lowest point of the trough allowing the trough to remain empty whilst there is no danger of flooding.
  • a flood defence barrier system protects property or other structures from flooding rivers, sea storms, water and sewage overflows.
  • the louvres(6) may be made of treated wood, coated metal, plastic or fibre glass.
  • the louvres(6) are covered by bonding, polythene, heavy duty polythene or a bituminous membrane(4).
  • the membrane (4) starts a quarter down the height of the depth of the top louvre(6)up and over the leading edge then down the whole face of the louvre(6)then up and over the back to a quarter of the louvre (6) then on to the leading edge of the next board(6)this process is continued on until the final specified louvre(6).
  • the membrane(4)then continues on for approximately 1 Metre. Along the length of the Bottom end of the membrane(4)a pocket is creaked. This pocket is filled with sand or shot blast and sealed creating a weight(3).
  • the purpose of the weight(3) is to retain the membrane(4)in a concrete base.
  • Each membrane(6) is joined together by the the membrane(4) running the perimeter of the property being defended creating a barrier against flooding waters.
  • the continuous membrane(4) creates a flexibility in the system minimising impact which may occur from floating debris.
  • the flood barrier and system may also be used to protect strutures such as railway lines, pylons, power stations, sub stations and terminals.
  • the trough may be an elongate trough and may extend substantially parallel to a train track.
