The Need For Industrial Flood Barriers In The UK
Flooding can cause severe damage to your industrial property or commercial assets. Whether it’s thousands of pounds worth of structural damage, the loss of machinery and stock, or the biohazards associated with contaminated water, it’s not worth taking the risk when it comes to protecting your business and essential assets. The investment you make in effective flood management will save you thousands in potential water damage, especially if you operate in a flood-prone part of the UK.
Looking ahead over the next few decades, the prospect of flooding in the UK looks set to continue rising – and at a rather alarming rate. Which means that there has never been a better time to put money into flood prevention systems, whether you operate a storage facility at Thames Estuary or an industrial unit in the North West.
Fortunately, at Lakeside, we are able to offer flood protection systems for all types of industrial settings. Whether it’s a flood protection system for an entrance or a comprehensive flood protection system that encircles an entire industrial complex, Lakeside is the only company you need for reliable flood protection in the UK.

Demountable Flood Barriers
Our most popular industrial flood protection system, our demountable flood barriers, as their name implies, are very easy to install and remove in case of a flood. This makes our flood protection systems highly convenient. Because of their innovative interlocking system, along with our custom-designed ground U-channel, they create a continuous sealed system which is designed to withstand floods.
Designed with sophisticated technology and a unique set of features not found in other systems currently on the market, these barriers provide powerful protection you can count on.
Key Characteristics of our demountable industrial flood barriers:
Fast Deployment: The devices do not require any tools for installation; therefore, they take seconds to deploy and are ideal for last-minute flood warnings.

Self-Closing Flood Barriers
Our self-closing flood barriers also offer automatic and hassle-free protection that instantly activates once floodwaters rise.
Functioning perfectly in situations where floods can occur unexpectedly, these types of barriers can be installed in buried steel or concrete reservoirs that then elevate once floodwater reachea a certain level. When the water recedes, the wall retreats smoothly into its inactive position. Customisable in length, they are the preferred choice for the protection of factories, storage spaces, and other sensitive infrastructure.
Key features include:
- Automatic activation when water levels rise
- No manual configuration or deployment necessary
- Robust design to withstand severe flood conditions
- Applicable in industrial, commercial, and public premises
- Designed for flood protection situations that require rapid assistance, peace of mind, and swift defense
