Rescuevation: As seen in the trade press
Rapid deployment
Light, mobile flood protection
The Beaver Flood Fence is a rigid, ultralight mobile flood protection system for level, solid ground.
It consists of only two main components (straight and corner). The elements are positioned tool-free, connected to each other and immediately form a tight barrier up to approx. 45 cm damming height. At only 4 kg per element, small teams can transport and set it up in seconds, ideal for fast property protection in urban areas.
Intuitive angle barriers
Flexible expansion
Using identical straight and corner elements, the Beaver Flood Fence can be quickly configured into individual protective lines.
The modules are joined together tool-free, so lengths and routes can be adapted to buildings, driveways or road layouts.
Thanks to the simple two-component system, setup stays clear and error-proof even with complex site layouts, ideal for urban property protection with variable runs and angles.
No ground anchors or additional nets are needed; the modules are simply joined together.
Stable footing on uneven ground
Firmly grounded
The Beaver Flood Fence stands firm because, on level, solid ground, the design works with a disproportionately long base plate: the foot length (approx. 58 cm) is greater than the system height (approx. 45 cm).
This creates a long lever arm and a wide contact surface that counteract tipping moments. The elements are connected in line, which additionally distributes stability across the entire structure.
Important: rigid systems are designed for sealed, level surfaces; on open terrain there is a risk of undermining, and they must not be used there.
Note: where high flow velocities, floating debris or uneven ground are expected, folding or tube-based alternatives (e.g. Lenoir, Beaver tube dam) are the more robust choice.
Flood protection, even in frost.
Cold-resistant
The Beaver Flood Fence is ideally suited for use in cold conditions because it works as a rigid, ultralight system without water-filled components.
It does not need to be filled or drained and contains no media that could expand, freeze or damage lines/fittings in frost. As a result, it keeps working even at sub-zero temperatures, setup is tool-free in seconds and there is no risk of icing at couplings or valves: a clear advantage over water-based systems.
In addition, the system is designed for level, sealed surfaces and needs no ground anchors, which can be problematic in cold weather.
Flood protection stored compactly
Easy to store
The Beaver Flood Fence is considerably thinner and, at only 3.7 kg per element, much lighter than comparable rigid flood protection systems.
This makes handling and transport easier, and above all storage logistics: more modules can be stocked in the same space, so longer protective lines can be called up quickly.
The simple two-component design (straight + corner) without complex add-on parts keeps storage clear and ready for use, ideal for municipalities, businesses and fire departments with limited storage space.
Years of experience
Proven in the field
The Beaver Flood Fence has been used for years by fire departments, civil protection and industry for urban property protection.
The system is EVH-certified, extremely quick to set up and specially designed for sealed, level surfaces: qualities that have proven themselves in numerous real and training deployments.
Sandbags: hazardous waste
Cost savings
After a deployment, sandbags cause high disposal costs because they can count as contaminated waste:
After contact with floodwater, mud, oil, sewage or chemicals, sand and bag can no longer be cleanly separated or reused and must be disposed of properly in accordance with EU legal requirements.
Replace sandbags
Beats sandbags on cost
Sandbags involve high overall effort: they are slow to set up and dismantle and require many responders, logistics and material. One linear meter of sandbags costs around 690 € including disposal, with approx. 70% of that accounted for by disposal.
Beaver Flood Fence elements are reusable, need no heavy equipment, fewer personnel and almost no disposal, so their life-cycle costs are significantly lower than those of sandbags.
