Vlotterkering® is a flexible barrier that closes automatically.
Vlotterkering® is designed to be a temporary water barrier integrated into a dike or embankment that protects the land and its inhabitants from extreme water surges. Vlotterkering® is a flexible barrier that closes automatically. It consists of a cement basin and a float with a steel panel lid on top that serves as the water barrier. When water enters the basin it pushes up the float and steel panel lid, which then functions as a barrier to the water.
