FlashWall is a cutting edge entrance protection product based on patented AquaFence technology. It’s a flexible, lightweight solution, stored in a carry bag and can be rapidly deployed by a single person when faced with flash flooding
Perimeter Protection
Structure Avantage Flood Protection can surround buildings facilities, critical assets, or multiple blocks, without any contact to the building itself. In most urban environments, the system can be used without any advanced site work
Water Diversion
Structure Avantage Flood Protection can be used to divert water away from a construction or maintenance site or to divert overflowing rivers away from towns, cities or regions
Integrated Protection
A drop-in-place flood shield solution that is customized to secure specific exposures of buildings or properties. These systems range from single openings to entire buildings
Standard Heights
Structure Avantage Flood Protection can transition between heights and range from 2.5 ft to 9 ft (0.75 m to 2.7 m)
No Fill Material
Structure Avantage Flood Protection harnesses the floodwater weight to create a self stabilized design. This allows the barrier to be deployed without any structural alterations to the building or hardscape and without the need for fill mass such as sand. As the floodwater increases, the system is strengthened.
Mobile and Fast to Deploy
Structure Avantage Flood Protection is easy to use, fast to deploy, has no loose parts and can be moved between multiple locations depending on need . The barriers are deployed before imminent flooding and removed after the flood threat is gone, leaving little to no trace of the system behind.

Sandbag Comparison
Compared to sandbags Structure Avantage Flood Protection is 375 times more labor efficient. Taking one example from US we saw that a 500-meter-long perimeter required 2000 people 12 hours of deployment.
With Structure Avantage Flood Protection the same 500-meter-perimiter was deployed using 16 people for a 4-hour deployment.
That is 24 000 man-hours using sandbags versus 64 man-hours using FloodWall.
- Always ready when a flood is expected (or unexpected)
Excellent Safety Margins
Structure Avantage Flood Protection Aquafence engineers and designs FloodWall based on the combined sum of hydrostatic loads, hydrodynamic loads and impact loads.
Reusable and Eco Friendly
After a flood event, simply rinse the FloodWalls before returning them to storage. This clean, no fill design lends itself to be stored, rapidly deployed, and removed without any waste creation. Certified re-usability more than 60 times.

Sandbags have a one-time use and are treated as contaminated waste after contact with flood water.
A 100-meter-long and 1.2-meter-high FloodWall perimeter is equivalent to 25 500 sandbags. The sandbags will generate 459 metric tons of contaminated waste after a flood, enough to fill 32 dump trucks. FloodWall provides a far more efficient and environmentally friendly solution with its 60 times reuse.
