The Boxwall^® commercialised by Buysomething® and Bluemount® are the best mobile flood barriers to protect commercial properties and projects in urban areas.  The ease of assembly and transport, long-lasting durability, and unmatched performance have made them barriers one of the most popular flood barriers used by companies worldwide.

A Better Option Than Sandbags for Floods

You might already know that using sand bags for floods is the old-age practice to protect properties. When you pile sand bags, one on top of the other, they act as flood barriers and divert water away from the property instead of letting it through.

However, the deployment of sand bags is time and labor consuming, and they are also not completely effective. What’s even more problematic is that you can only use them once.

Boxwall^® is the big breakthrough we all needed to tackle these issues! As a modern and innovative solution for sandbagging, these mobile flood barriers make your life easier. You no longer have to worry about filling bags with sand when a flood hits your area.

All about Boxwall^® Flood Barriers

The Boxwall^® is a freestanding, mobile flood barrier that requires only a couple of people to deploy. These commercial flood barriers are ideal for urban environments suitable for schools, municipalities, commercial properties, factories, and roadways. They stand up great on rough and even surfaces of asphalt or concrete. Moreover, Boxwalls^® anchor themselves using the weight of the water alone, fighting water with water!

This “book-end principle” technology has made it possible to build these flood barriers extremely light in weight. However, that doesn’t mean it’s weak. We have tested our Boxwall^® against flash floods, and it remained steady and stable throughout.

How Are these Flood Barriers Better than Sand Bags for Floods?

In addition to being lightweight, these mobile flood barriers are faster and quicker than sand bags at work. You can transport them easily to the desired location and start building a temporary flood protection wall by fixing the units together.

You can also use the +/-3° flexible couplings to create curves and bends wherever necessary. Use ‘corner units’ to create sharp corners, and you can form a 90° corner using 3x corner units.

Cleaning is no-brainer either, unlike sand bags that become a huge mess after floods. All you have to do is wash the units using a garden hose, dry them, stack each unit on top of the other, and store them!

Just two people can set up a 100m long flood barrier in under 25 minutes using these units! They are better than sand bags for floods in every way!

How does Boxwall® work?

As a modern alternative for the hefty sandbagging method, the Boxwall® helps you protect your valuable commercial properties from flood damage. The self-anchoring mobile flood barrier is an essential tool for areas that are more prone to floods. These flood protection barriers are ideal for use on hard, even surfaces such as paved streets, grass pavers, and concrete floors. Now, you might be thinking, how do flood barriers work? Keep reading!

Impressive Functionality 

Each Boxwall® unit consists of three components, as shown in the image below. All three play a vital part in preventing commercial flood damage, saving you money and time.

• One is the rear wall. Also known as the damming part, this prevents the water from flowing into the protected area.
• The second is the anchoring part (the horizontal section that rests on the ground) that is responsible for holding the unit firmly onto the floor. This base section of these flood protection barriers gets pressed onto the ground with the weight of floodwater. In other words, the higher the pressure, the better it works!
• The third is the sealing strip (the front edge of the horizontal section) made of rubber that keeps water seepage to a minimum.

Ease of Assembly 

The Boxwall® units are temporary flood protection barriers built by joining one unit with the other. The medium size creates a barrier for water up to a height of 500mm, while the large size creates a barrier for water up to a height of 1200mm.

All you have to do is simple. Transport Boxwall® units to the flood-prone site and begin to build a wall by clicking the units together. Use as many units as required to get the desired barrier length. You can create a 2-meter or even 2000-meter long flood barrier from them.

Rapid Deployment 

Deployment is quick, and you can build a 100-meter long barrier in under 25 minutes! Although one person can build a wall easily, two can make things quicker and easier. The number of people really depends on the length and time you have.

Isn’t that just great?
There is absolutely no requirement for shovels, sand bags, or tedious effort! Who thought that fixing a flood barrier could be such a breeze!

Where Can You Install Boxwall® to Prevent Commercial Flooding?

The Boxwall® is primarily suitable for urban areas and works well on hard and even surfaces like asphalt and concrete. They are widely used by businesses and industries to control commercial flooding. Even local governments use it to protect their flood-prone areas. Various tests over the years prove that the Boxwall® is also ideal for controlling flash floods in the streets.

So, ideally, you can use the Boxwall® in,

• Streets and pathways
• Homes
• Roads
• Car parks
• Industrial sites
• Commercial buildings
• Schools
• Shopping malls
• Harbours
• Airports

A Much Better Option than Flood Control Sandbags

Engineered to replace sandbags, Boxwall® comes as units that can be attached together to form a lengthy barrier of your requirement. They come in small, medium and large sizes to tackle floods over 1 meter in height! One unit of 500mm, weighing just 3.4kg, is equal to 5 sandbags stacked on top of another. The 1200mm unit is 15.2kg in weight.
