Made using innovative high pressure Air Beam Technology and military grade weatherproof, waterproof material Flood Defense Systems inflatable flood barriers won’t rot, fatigue or degrade over time. They’re mold and mildew resistant, collapse for easy, stackable, dry storage and withstand temperature variants from 113⁰F to – 40⁰F.
Flood Defense System flood control barriers are 58” in height and 4ft, 12ft or 24ft in length and can be connected together to form a continuous barrier of any length. They are easily erected and dismantled, in under an hour, using only an air compressor and common hand tools.
Quickly and easily transported, Flood Defense Systems small-pack-volume means easy storage and transportation to any site. Two barriers measuring 58in x 24ft fits in the bed of a pickup truck, delivery van or emergency vehicle; enabling immediate response when flooding strikes.
Deflation of any part of the FDSL food protection barrier does not significantly effect performance. Should any part of the flood protection wall deflate, there’s no need to dismantle to effectively and quickly repair in place with a simple fabric patch and water repellent adhesive - like a pool liner repair kit.
After witnessing firsthand the catastrophic damage caused by flooding, Flood Defense Systems Ltd. developed a lightweight, rapid response, air-inflated system to replace sandbag walls for use across multiple applications.
Engineered to protect critical infrastructure, shorelines, transportation routes, buildings, businesses and property; FDSL patented flood barriers are built to hold back thousands of gallons of water, accompanying waves, wind and debris associated with flooding.
Designed with variable height and multiple connection options, you can configure your protective barrier to fit the shape and size of your site without impeding access, time after time.
FDS barriers are height adjustable with multiple connection options and are completely reusable.

Flood Defense Systems Barriers CEO Robert Parsons on new flood protection technology, climate change, water management, and the growing need for flood planning.
An investment in flood control measures now mitigates the high cost of repairs and insurance after the fact. Flooding has become a commonplace, almost yearly event in major cities and towns across the USA and around the world. We offer an immediate solution; pending longer term flood management and shoreline protection measures.
With a lower cost of ownership than competing systems of similar quality, this investment is significantly less than the cost of devastating damage to communities.
Helps to eliminate the need for thousands of hours of labor and special disposal of contaminated sandbags or contaminated food water used in other barrier methods.
