Access Flood Protection

Access into and out from a building or structure is a fundamental requirement and covers a wide range of needs however access openings are often the easiest point of entry into a property if not protected.

At M3 Floodtec we have solutions that can be installed to prevent flood water inundation across any access point regardless of size to protect against the devastation of a flood event.

See our range of passive and deployable flood protection that can be tailored to your exact needs.

FloodSax® Alternative Sandbags

FloodSax®, The Innovative Self-inflating Flood Defence System.

FloodSax^® are a lightweight, flat, absorbent product which can be hydrated on-site to 20 kilos to mitigate against commercial and residential flooding.

They are designed to mould into doorways to keep floodwater out.

Lightweight, portable and quick to deploy
Self-contained
Super absorbent – allows liquid in and keeps it in
5 year shelf life
96% biodegradable by weight

The absorbent technology within FloodSax^® means they are as useful in their ‘dry’ state as they are when soaked in water to turn them into alternative sandbags.

FloodSax^® resemble large pillowcases before they come into contact with water and are ultra-thin which means they can be slipped into the most inaccessible places around homes and businesses to soak up water.

FloodSax^® store neatly away in boxes of 20 so can be easily stored.
