Flooding can cause devastating damage to businesses, commercial properties, warehouses, offices and industrial sites. Whether caused by extreme rainfall, surface water, overflowing drainage systems or rising water levels, floodwater can enter a building quickly and damage stock, machinery, electrical equipment, flooring and valuable property.
Preparing in advance can make a significant difference. Spilltek’s range of flood protection products provides practical solutions designed to help businesses prepare for, control and defend against floodwater.
With products from leading flood protection brands including Osmo, Floodsax, Flood Cube, NOAQ and Floodstop, Spilltek can provide solutions for everything from protecting individual doorways to creating larger temporary flood barriers around vulnerable premises.
Osmo Flood Barriers – Rapid Protection for Doorways
Osmo flood barriers provide a practical way to protect vulnerable entrances and openings against incoming floodwater.
Designed for rapid deployment when flooding threatens, temporary flood barriers can help prevent or significantly reduce the amount of water entering a building through doorways and other access points.
For businesses located in areas susceptible to surface water or flash flooding, keeping suitable barriers available on site means action can be taken quickly when severe weather is forecast.
They can be particularly valuable for shops, offices, warehouses, schools, workshops, industrial premises and commercial buildings where preventing water from entering through a doorway could protect thousands of pounds worth of equipment and stock.
Thirsty Pads – Absorb Water Quickly
Not every flooding incident requires a large barrier system. Small leaks, minor water ingress and residual water following a flood can still create considerable disruption.
Thirsty Pads provide a convenient absorbent solution for managing unwanted water. Easy to store and deploy, they can be positioned in vulnerable locations or used as part of the clean-up process.
They are an excellent addition to a business’s emergency flood-response supplies, helping deal with water around entrances, equipment, floors and other areas where rapid absorption is required.
Floodsax – Compact Flood Protection When You Need It
Traditional sandbags can be heavy, bulky and difficult to store in sufficient quantities. Floodsax provide businesses with a more convenient flood-response option.
Their compact format makes them easier to keep in storage until required. When flooding threatens, they can be deployed to help create temporary barriers around doorways, entrances and other vulnerable areas.
For businesses with limited storage space, having Floodsax available as part of an emergency flood plan provides a practical way to prepare for unexpected water ingress without permanently storing large quantities of conventional sandbags.
Flood Cube – Build a Temporary Flood Defence
For situations requiring a larger or more substantial temporary defence, Flood Cube systems provide a versatile flood protection solution.
Individual units can be used together to create a temporary barrier designed around the area requiring protection. This makes them suitable for commercial and industrial properties where businesses may need to protect larger entrances, loading areas, access points or sections of a site.
A modular approach also provides greater flexibility, allowing a flood defence to be configured according to the particular property and flood risk.
NOAQ Boxwall – Rapid Temporary Flood Barriers
The NOAQ Boxwall is an innovative temporary flood barrier system designed to provide rapid protection against rising or flowing floodwater.
Rather than relying on a traditional heavyweight flood defence, individual sections connect together to form a continuous barrier. This makes the system particularly useful when a longer temporary flood defence needs to be established quickly.
NOAQ Boxwall systems can be considered for commercial premises, warehouses, industrial facilities, public buildings and other vulnerable sites, providing businesses and facilities teams with a reusable flood-protection option that can be stored ready for future emergencies.
Floodstop – Modular Flood Protection for Larger Areas
Floodstop barriers offer another highly versatile option for protecting buildings, entrances and larger areas from floodwater.
The modular system allows individual units to be positioned together to create a temporary flood defence appropriate to the area being protected. This can make Floodstop particularly valuable for businesses requiring more extensive protection than a conventional doorway barrier can provide.
For sites with large entrances, car parks, loading areas, warehouses or extensive boundaries, a modular barrier system can form an important part of a wider flood-preparedness strategy.
Protect Property, Stock and Valuable Equipment
The financial consequences of flooding can extend far beyond the initial clean-up.
Water entering a workplace can damage machinery, electrical systems, computers, stock, racking, furniture, flooring and building interiors. Businesses may also experience considerable disruption while affected areas are cleaned, dried and repaired.
In serious cases, operations may need to stop completely.
Having appropriate flood protection equipment ready to deploy can help businesses respond before water reaches vulnerable assets. The cost of preparing for flooding can be small compared with the potential cost of replacing equipment, losing stock and dealing with prolonged business interruption.
Don’t Wait Until the Water Arrives
One of the biggest challenges with flooding is the limited amount of time businesses may have to respond.
Waiting until floodwater is approaching a building before sourcing protection equipment can leave very little time to act. Businesses in vulnerable locations should assess where water is most likely to enter and consider what equipment would be required to protect those areas.
Flood barriers, water absorbents and temporary flood-defence systems can then be stored in an accessible location and incorporated into the site’s emergency response plan.
Staff responsible for deploying the equipment should also understand where it is stored and how it should be used.
