The Tubebarrier can be placed on soft (e.g., grass) or hard surfaces (e.g., concrete, asphalt). The flap can be fixed to the underground to prevent seepage /piping. The rising water enters the barrier through small holes on the front side. When the water level falls again, the water leaves the barrier through the same holes. The TubeBarrier can be bought or leased and Tubebarrier offers a 24/7 service including storage, maintenance and deployment in case of an incident or an imminent flood.
