Typically, self-activating barriers are installed at openings, roadways, or doorways.

This system has been developed in the Netherlands to provide optimal protection against extreme high water levels. The barrier systems have proved to be the best flood protection and has already been built and installed in several countries around the globe. Rapid onset flooding cost by heavy rainfall causes the greatest damage to underground parking, metrostation and all other lower entrance. For deploy of the more traditional type of manually operated flood-doors and floodgates systems you need warning time and time to set up the barrier which you don’t have in these cases. The SCFB overcomes all the issues associated with these flood defences, and has the considerable advantage of not requiring any intervention during a flood warning, the SCFB using the approaching floodwaters to automatically raise the barrier; effectively using the problem to create the solution.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”pa-inline-buttons” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Dutch Water Prevention is the worldwide distributor of the Dutch Float Dike. The Dutch Float Dike (DFD) is a proven, self-activating flood barrier that combines water safety with an open view and free passage. Using the buoyant force of water, the barrier automatically rises during high water and retracts when levels fall\u2014without manual or mechanical operation.<\/p>\n Designed to be modular and fully integrated into its surroundings, the DFD can protect up to 4.2 meters in height and any required length. When inactive, it remains flush with the surface, allowing pedestrians, vehicles, and even urban life to continue seamlessly. Durable, low-maintenance, and already realized in projects such as Steyl Maashoek, the DFD offers a reliable solution for both cities and critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/dutchwaterprevention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DWP-Dutch-Float-Dike-website.pdf” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Read more” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|10px|||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/dutchwaterprevention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dutch-Float-Dike-Steyl.jpg” title_text=”Dutch Float Dike Steyl” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Self activating systemsSelf-Activating systems and passive Typically, self-activating barriers are installed at openings, roadways, or doorways.
