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.

Pictured is a metropolitan shopping centre that has experienced repeated flooding during major storm events. Sites like these require purpose-engineered flood mitigation solutions that are reliable, reduce impact on daily operations, and support rapid recovery. This image was taken during the overnight installation and commissioning of a passive tilting flood barrier. Contact our team for flood barriers tailored to your flood risk profile.
