How do you use the NOAQ Boxwall Flood Barriers?

Using the NOAQ Boxwall Flood Barrier system is straightforward and efficient:

1. Prepare: Assess the area where flood protection is needed and ensure that the surface is flat and even.
2. Position: Place the boxes in the desired configuration, ensuring that they are aligned to create a continuous barrier. Gradual curves can be created by connecting the boxes at a slight angle, and specific corner boxes are available for creating corners.
3. Connect: Snap the boxes together to form a stable barrier. No tools are needed for assembly, making the process quick and hassle-free.
4. Deploy: Once the Boxwall is assembled, position it in the desired location to provide protection against flooding. The system is freestanding and does not require external fastenings.
5. Anchor: As floodwater comes into contact with the Boxwall, it automatically ballasts itself by the weight of the water, pressing firmly against the ground to anchor in place. The higher the water rises, the harder the barrier is pressed against the ground.
6. Monitor: Keep an eye on the water level and the performance of the barrier. Adjust the positioning or add additional Boxwall components if necessary to maintain effective flood protection.
7. Reuse and Store: After the flood threat has passed, dismantle the Boxwall system and stack the boxes for storage. The boxes are stackable, requiring minimal space for storage and transportation.

By following these steps, the NOAQ Boxwall Flood Barrier system can be quickly and easily deployed to provide effective flood protection in urban environments and other vulnerable areas.
