This collaboration marks an exciting expansion of Flood Control International’s product portfolio, uniting proven Italian engineering with a globally trusted provider of advanced flood defence solutions. The Poseidon UP system offers clients a cutting-edge barrier solution that delivers reliable, passive flood protection, with no power, manual intervention, or complex deployment required.
The technology behind Poseidon UP
The Poseidon UP passive flood barrier represents a significant advancement in flood protection. Designed to remain completely hidden when not in use, it integrates discreetly into the landscape or ground surface.
Unlike traditional barriers that require human deployment or external power, the Poseidon UP is always ready. Rising floodwaters alone activate the system; As water enters the barrier housing, the barrier is gently lifted into position, forming an immediate, watertight defence. When floodwaters recede, the barrier is lowered back into its concealed housing, ready for future use. This is flood protection that works passively, silently, and reliably, providing peace of mind to property owners, managers, engineers and communities.
- Passive, rises automatically with floodwater — no power or manual input required.
- Always ready, remains hidden below ground until needed, then deploys instantly.
- Low maintenance, no electrical systems or complex mechanisms to service.
- Versatile applications, suitable for protecting buildings, infrastructure, and public spaces — ideal for both urban and remote locations.
- Lengths and heights to suit most applications
- Reliable defence, engineered for long-term durability and dependable performance in flood conditions.
