Portable flood barriers and flood bags
Product selection depends on the opening width, expected water depth, surface condition, available response time, deployment manpower and the wider drainage and emergency plan.
17 ft flood barrier
A longer barrier for wider entrances, loading areas and temporary water diversion.
Flood bags
Compact water-activated bags for low openings, seepage points and rapid temporary response.
Water-activated barriers
Deployable barriers that expand on contact with water to help contain or divert floodwater.
1
Map vulnerable openings
Record doors, gates, ramps, loading bays, vents, service penetrations, drains and routes leading to basements or critical rooms.
2
Measure the site
Check clear opening width, threshold and wall conditions, ground slope, surface type, obstructions and expected water depth.
3
Plan deployment
Define the flood-warning trigger, storage location, transport route, manpower, installation sequence and target deployment time.
4
Inspect, practise and maintain
Keep drainage clear, check products and seals, practise the operating procedure and replace damaged or expired components.
Singapore flood-resilience context
Use barriers as part of a wider flood-response plan
PUB guidance encourages vulnerable homes and businesses to keep drainage systems clear, maintain flood barriers in good working condition and prepare for safe response during flash-flood conditions.
- Review drainage, pumps, backflow risks and all building openings
- Protect critical electrical, communications and mechanical equipment
- Document warning triggers, responsibilities and deployment procedures
- Plan safe electrical isolation, access and evacuation where necessary
Important: Portable products cannot guarantee a dry building. Performance depends on water depth, flow, surface, installation, seals, adjacent openings and drainage. Developments subject to PUB requirements may need measures designed and documented by qualified professionals.
Frequently asked questions
Flood control FAQ
How should an opening be measured for a flood barrier?
Measure the clear width at several heights and record the threshold, wall material, obstructions, slope and surrounding surface. Include photographs or drawings when assessing the location.
Are water-activated barriers reusable?
Reusability depends on the specific product, exposure, contamination, drying process and manufacturer instructions. Inspect every unit before storage or reuse.
Can one doorway barrier protect the entire building?
Not necessarily. Water may enter through secondary doors, vents, service openings, drains or basement routes. The assessment should cover the whole premises.
What should be included in a flood-barrier operating procedure?
Include activation triggers, responsible personnel, product storage, transport, installation sequence, safety precautions, inspection, removal, cleaning and post-event reporting.
