No Matter What The Weather

No Matter What The Weather

Made using innovative high pressure Air Beam Technology and military grade weatherproof, waterproof material Flood Defence Systems air-inflatable flood control barriers won’t rot, fatigue or degrade over time. They’re mold and mildew resistant, collapse for easy, stackable, dry storage and withstand temperature variants from +45⁰C to -40⁰C (113⁰F to – 40⁰F). 

Designed For Flexibility

No Matter What The Weather

FDSL flood protection barriers connect to any length.

Flood Defence System flood control barriers are 1.45m (58”) in height and 1.5m (4ft), 3.5m (12ft) and 7m (24ft) in length and can be connected together to form a continuous barrier of any length. They are easily erected and dismantled, in under an hour, using only an air compressor and common hand tools.

Quickly and easily transported, Flood Defence Systems small-pack-volume means easy storage and transportation to any site. Two barriers measuring 1.45m x 7m (58in x 24ft) fits in the bed of a pickup truck, delivery van or emergency vehicle; enabling immediate response of safety equipment when flooding strikes.

Deflation of any part of the FDSL food protection barrier does not significantly affect performance. Should any part of the flood protection wall deflate, there’s no need to dismantle to effectively and quickly repair in place with a simple fabric patch and water repellent adhesive - like a pool liner repair kit.  

Flood Defence System

Our Flood Protection Products

After witnessing firsthand the catastrophic damage caused by flooding, Flood Defence Systems developed a lightweight, rapid response air-inflated flood barrier system to replace sandbag walls and waterfilled barriers for use across multiple applications.


Engineered to protect critical infrastructure, shorelines, transportation routes, buildings, businesses, and property; FDSL patented flood barriers are built to hold back thousands of kilograms/gallons of water, accompanying waves, wind and debris associated with flooding.


Designed with variable height and multiple connection options, you can configure your protective barrier to fit the shape and size of your site without impeding access, time after time.

Flooding - The New & Costly Global Norm

Flood Damage Costing Billions

Offset Remediating & Repair Costs

An investment in flood control measures now, mitigates the high cost of repairs and insurance after the fact. Flooding has become a commonplace, almost yearly event in major cities and towns across Canada, the USA, and around the world. We offer an immediate solution; pending longer-term flood management and shoreline protection measures.


With a lower cost of ownership than competing systems of similar quality, this investment is significantly less than the cost of devastating damage to communities. Helps to eliminate the need for thousands of hours of labour and special disposal of contaminated sandbags or contaminated flood water used in other barrier methods.
