Boxwall Available in 500mm and 750mm heights
Boxwall (500mm Height)
The Award winning Boxwall is a
freestanding flood barrier designed for use in urban
environments that feature hard and even surfaces
like asphalt streets and concrete floors. Boxwall is anchored using
the weight of the floodwater alone. This award-winning ”bookend principle” technology allows us to make the barrier extremely lightweight, 5.5 kg per running metre (3,7 lbs per running foot). Each ”box” weighs less than 3.5 kg (7.5 lbs). Despite it’s light weight, the 50 cm (2 ft) high barrier is reliably stable even when damming water to its upper edge!

Assembly
Boxwall is assembled by simply snapping boxes
together to the desired length and fixing them to
each other using clamps. The +/-3° flexible coupling
also makes it possible to
create curves in the wall. After use, the boxes are
easily detached and can be cleaned using a garden
hose.
Boxwall (750mm Height)
The 750mm Height Boxwall is self-anchoring, as it is automatically ballasted by the weight
of the flood water.
The higher the water rises, the harder is the
barrier pressed against the ground.
Utilizing the weight of the
water, the barrier itself doesn’t need to be heavy. The BW102
”boxes” weigh only 15.2 kg each and the barrier not more than
17 kg per meter. This makes it easy to use, and fast to deploy.
Two people can build 100 linear metres of boxwall in an hour.
Assembly
A Boxwall is built by snapping the boxes together. No tools are
needed. Gradual curves are made by connecting the boxes at
a slight angle.
