FloodFree Flood Barriers

22/04/2026

Concerned about water damage from flood events or stormwater overflows? Knowing your options matters.

If your property is exposed to flood risk, the right flood barrier solution can help protect your home, reduce damage and provide peace of mind. To be effective, it needs to suit your site, respond to local flood behaviour and align with how you live and use your property.

FloodFree’s 'Design Considerations for Home Owners' page of the new website, explains what to think about before choosing a flood barrier, including:

* How floodwater may affect your property
* What types of flood barriers are available
* Manual vs self-deploying systems
* Practical, long‑term protection for your home

Flood ready. FloodFree Barriers hide in plain sight.

This FloodFree Retractable Barrier integrates seamlessly within the levee system, ready to protect the community when floodwaters rise.

When deployed, the barrier seals the road access, forming a complete flood defence line that safeguards the township from impending floods.

FloodFree Tilting Barriers are passive flood protection systems that harness the principles of buoyancy; no mechanical intervention required. With a minimal footprint of shallow depth, they’re ideal for “drop-in” installations within existing infrastructure.

Each tiling floor barrier is custom-designed to suit greenfield sites or integrate seamlessly into brownfield developments, enabling developers to incorporate effective flood mitigation at any stage of a project.

The outcome: reduced flood risk and improved protection for people and property at any stage of a project lifecycle.

Today we came together to celebrate R U OK? Day

Checking in with the people around us is so important. Sometimes it’s hard to know when someone is struggling, but starting with a simple “Are you OK?” can open the door to real support and connection.

Here, we value not only the work people do, but also their health and well-being. Together, we’re building a workplace where conversations about mental health are encouraged and supported today and every day.

At this new 'greenfield' site, a concealed passive flood barrier has been installed early in the construction phase; the ideal time for integration when permanent vertical installation below the high-traffic pedestrian walkway is required.

This community-based flood protection solution is 'passive' or self-activating. As water enters the drain at the front of the barrier, the barrier rises automatically using buoyancy principles, creating a watertight seal that protects the entrance from water ingress without the need for manual intervention or power.

Proudly Australian-made, FloodFree barriers provide reliable flood protection for critical community infrastructure. Contact the FloodFree Team for Early Contractor Involvement.
