AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

If the facade of the building must be maintained, wall anchors may not be available for permanent display
Installing anchors or securing may require skilled labor, which can be an expensive additional cost
In some cases, anchoring and permanent fixation are difficult to use as intended by the supplier, especially in stressful situations such as impending flooding
[0008] Furthermore, US2003433176A does not take into account uneven ground and will result in significantly increased leakage eg if used on slightly sloped or curved walkways

Embodiment Construction

[0017] An embodiment of a portable flood barrier provided with an improved ground seal will now be described.

[0018] figure 1 A flood barrier provided with a ground seal according to exemplary embodiments herein is shown in . The flood barrier may comprise the following components: a bag for storing the flood barrier in a folded state for use during storage of the flood barrier, an anchor for securing the flood barrier to an object when the flood barrier is in use, a main barrier 1 and at least one side closure A side closer for closing the gap between the main barrier 1 and the object to be protected when using the flood barrier.

[0019] The flood barriers in question can be particularly adapted to secure entry points to buildings within seconds. The anchors can be installed on the building before the flood barrier is first used, and the anchors can then be used to anchor the flood barrier to the building. The anchor may for example be mounted in the vicinity of the rel...

Abstract

Embodiments herein relate to a ground seal for a portable flood barrier further comprising a vertical wall. The ground seal is arranged to be positioned on the ground. The ground seal includes a primary seal layer forming the body of the ground seal. The primary seal is impermeable. The ground seal also includes a bottom seal disposed on the ground-facing underside of the main seal. The bottom seal layer is attached to the primary seal layer at a distance L from the peripheral edge of the primary seal layer, the peripheral edge being furthest from the first edge of the ground seal such that the bottom seal layer bottom seal layer has The point of the layer extends towards the free end of the peripheral edge of the main sealing layer, and the bottom sealing layer comprises a highly flexible and / or adhesive material which is malleable and adheres to the ground when the material is soaked in water.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments herein relate to a flood barrier comprising a ground seal having sealing means for providing a seal between the ground seal and the ground to form a localized barrier against floodwaters. Background technique [0002] Flooding from snowmelt, storms or heavy rains causes significant damage to property and sometimes injuries to people every year. [0003] Some urban areas are particularly vulnerable to heavy rainfall that can lead to flash flooding. These floods develop suddenly and last for several hours before dissipating, for example due to local drainage systems that dredge excess water into the ground. During a flash flood event, a short flood window can be sufficient to inflict severe property damage and loss of income on a street-level business if the facility is closed for cleanup and repairs. [0004] Various types of barriers are used as flood barriers. An example of an obstacle is a sandbag obstacle. However, such barriers are ...
