Technical Description The standard SCFB consists of a prefab steel or concrete basin and a polyester floating wall. Its height depends on each typical site, where it needs to be deployed. Standard protection heights are 500 mms, 1,000 mms, 1,500 mms 2,000 mms and the new 2,500 mms above level, with alternative heights on request. The steel elements are prefab fabricated and measure 1,000 – 6,000 mms. The elements are protected by a two-compound coating (Redox EP Ferroflake) and a Cathodic Protection (PC). The side plates are welded on the soul plate and find their balance and support from support plates at the outside. The width of the soul plate prevents the basin form floating up in subsoil water. The concrete basin is prefab made or can either be built on the job site in a mould.               SCFB with a steel element             SCFB with a concrete element The wall itself is prefab polyester made, with a thickness of 120 – 200 mms. It is laminated in a climate controlled hall with permanent humidity and temperature control to guarantee a consistent lamination process. In the order to minimize collision damage by flotsam, endangered areas in the floating wall are protected by Kevlar with impact strength. The wall is reinforced by laminated steel strips. The wall is filled up with a PUR-foam core in a very strong sandwich construction and hence does not absorb water, while retaining its floating power. The walls are coupled in lengths of 990 mms by means of a rubber bib. So, the Barrier is constructed as a solid body. Two rubber elements at the wall side close off the chaser in that the system operates waterproof. The  strength of the wall is calculated in terms of a minimum of 10 times the sideways water pressure.  By coupling  2 side plates together, it is feasible to cover any angle and corner in this system. The stainless steel lid closes off the entrenchment area to prevent any inflow of waste or debris. As said, under normal conditions when the SCFB is not in operation, the entrenched ‘wall’ is not visible and hence cannot cause any obstruction to any kind of traffic. In case of emergency, the entrenched wall comes up instantly while its lid operates like a breakwater to break the upcoming waves.

There are two types of Pits, a standard Pit and one with a pump. Which one is needed  depends on the situation where the SCFB will be installed When the surface water is not low enough a Service Pit with a pump is always required. The pump switch on automatically once there is water in the system and prevents the system to come up if there is no need for it. Also in situations where water subsides slowly, the pump switch once the flood is below flood level.  More about the working principle of the Pits Application possibilities The SCFB application possibilities are varied. It can be used as additional dyke protection, walk doors, sectional doors, flood wall, drive way, parking entrance, storefront, etc, etc. The SCFB is fabricated under: TCVN ISO 9001:2000 / ISO 9001:2000 Questions and Answers Warranty Each SCFB installed system carries a warranty of 1 year against fabrication as well as installation faults including any incurring leakages of more than 0,1  l/mtr/min. The world's most effective flood protection
