Description
FLOOD BARRIER SYSTEM
FIELD OF TIlE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a flood barrier system such as for buildings and methods of installing the flood barrier system.
BACKGROUND
Many buildings both commercial and domestic have bccn built on flood plains and arc at risk of flooding from rising river levels. Furthermore, localized flooding has also become a problem, in circumstances where the ground becomes saturated and the drains do not have sufficient capacity to take away the rainwater.
Flooding can cause significant damage to properties and the contents therein.
Furthermore, buildings deemed to be at risk of flooding can be subject to prohibitively expensive insurance premiums or, in some instances, may not even be insurable.
Flood barrier systems can be used protect buildings at risk of flooding. Such systems can vary widely in terms of costs, aesthetics and effectiveness.
US 4,693,042 discloses a flood defence system in which skirts of plastic film arc permanently secured to the building in metal boxes, which may detract from the appearance of the property. Furthermore, the skirts have an unnecessary number of joints, which may fail in use.
GB 2,379,948 discloses a flood defence system in which flexible sheeting is permanently secured to the building housed in a box on a roller for deployment when desired. In addition to the box, a grooved track around the periphery of the building is required. As well as being aesthetically unpleasing, the use of a grooved track is expensive to install and may fail should debris get into the track preventing deployment of the flood defence barrier.
GB 2,381,821 discloses a flood defence system in which waterproof sheeting is comprised within a frame. Thus, the frame has to be constructed of at least the size of the area to be protected. This makes it quite expensive and difficult to install at short notice in response to a flood warning.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a flood barrier system (e.g. for a building) which is effective in use and which can advantageously: be installed and removed quickly, is easily deployed, is relatively inexpensive and/or doesn't significantly affect the aesthetics of a building when not in use.
Furthermore, there is a need for a simple and effective flood barrier system which can advantageously be self-erected by the homeowner and/or an installer..
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

DESCRIPTION
FIG. 1 shows a side view of a flood barrier system 1 of the present invention in process of being erected. The flood barrier system comprises an inner plate 2 contactable with a floor 8 in the vicinity of walls of the building 9 to be protected from flooding, an outer plate 3 distal from the floor 8, flexible waterproof sheeting 4 and compressible sealing means 5.
In particular, rawl bolts or the like may be fitted to the ground 8 in the vicinity of the walls of a building to be protected or alternatively into the walls of the building below air brick level. These provide lower anchor points for the flood barrier system 1. The use of rawl bolts 7 is advantageous in that once fitted the sleeve of the rawl bolt remains in place whereas the rest of the bolt can be readily removed. Thus when the flood barrier system is not required the aesthetics of the building is not adversely affected.
Similarly some form of anchor points for the highest edge of the waterproof sheeting 4 are affixed into the walls of the building. Again desirably, the means of establishing anchor points into the walls of the building will not adversely affect the aesthetics of the building when the flood barrier system is not in use.
FIG. 3 shows the sandwich system which is used to provide a watertight seal at the bottom of the flood barrier system 1. This system may comprise a seal 5 which contacts with the floor 8 in the vicinity of the walls of a building to be protected or alternatively into the walls of the building below air brick level. On top of this is placed the inner plate 2 followed by another seal 5, the flexible sheeting 4, another seal 5 and finally an outer plate 3. Tightening of the bolts 7 will result in compression of the seals 5 which provide a watertight seal.
Each seal 5 may be in the form of one seal which extends around the perimeter of the building to be protected. For example, the seal may be in a roll ready to be rolled out around the perimeter of the building as the plates are put in place. Alternatively, for each layer in which a seal is used, the seal may be a plurality of seals which in use are close enough in contact with one another that under compression they will come together to form a watertight seal. The seal can be made of any suitable material which can be compressed to generate the sealing means. One example of a suitable material would be rubber. Clearly the dimensions of the seal can vary and any dimensions which would enable the sealing means to work effectively arc encompassed. In the specific embodiment shown, a rubber seal of approx 2.5cm wide and 5cm high may be effective. This allows for effective scaling despite some irregularities in the walls and/or ground.
The inner and outer plates are comprised of galvanised metal. However, the plates may be comprised of any sufficiently hardwearing and durable materials, such as metal and/or plastic.
As can be seen from Figure 3, the shape of the inside surface of the outer plate 3 and the outer surface of the inner plate 2 cooperate to effectively compress the seals 5 sandwiched between them in use. Likewise, the inner surface of the inner plate 2 is configured to effectively compress the seal 5 situated between this plate and the floor (or wall) 8 in use to provide a watertight seal. The plates 2, 3 used in FIG. 3 comprise a V formation in the central portion of the plates in cross-section. The V formation is advantageous as it aids in quick deployment of the flood barrier system by providing a channel to hold the seal 5 in place during erection of the flood bather system.
Furthermore, the V formation is advantageous when connecting edges of plates together at corners. However, the inner and outer plates 2, 3 may be of any shape in cross-section which can provide effective compression of the seals 5.
FIG. 4 shows a birds eye view of a plate 2, 3. As can be seen, the plates comprise holes or apertures 6 which accommodate the bolts 7. The plates 2,3 may be of any suitable length. For example, depending on the size of the building, the length of the plates could be substantially that of each of the walls or much shorter such that a plurality of plates is used in series for each wall. Advantageously, the plates may be of a length which provides a desirable balance with regard to quick erection of the flood barrier system and ease of handling/storage. For example, a length of approximately 1 meter would allow for quick erection of the flood barrier system when desired, ease of handling and ease of storage convenience when not required. Similar, considerations apply with regard to the breadth 10 of the plates. For example, a breadth of e.g. 10-20 cm may generally be appropriate.
The number of apertures 6 in the plates will depend on the size of plates used and the number of bolts required to provide the desired level of compression along the length of the plates to ensure a watertight seal is achieved. For example, it is envisioned that a platc will typically havc four or more apertures such that efficient compression can be achieved where two adjacent plates adjoin.
FIG. 5 shows a flexible sheeting in accordance with the present invention. The flexible waterproof sheeting 4 is comprised of a material able to withstand thc forccs applied during flooding without tearing. Flexibility is required so that the sheeting can readily adapt to the contours of the building and may be folded away.
Advantageously, Tarpaulin is one example of suitable sheeting. Preferably the matcrial complics with thc standard of BS 3424 with regard to water resistance and cold crack. Suitably, the flexible waterproof sheeting may be Niplex PVC coated nylon.
The flexible waterproof sheeting 4 comprises apertures 11 near the bottom edge of the sheeting which cooperate with the apertures on the plates 2,3. These apertures 11 may be in the form of(e.g. brass) round eyes.
Suitably, the flexible waterproof sheeting 4 may be of sufficient length that one continuous sheet can surround the entire perimeter of the building. In this regard, it is advantageous to reduce the number of overlap points which may require sealing.
However, a plurality of flexible waterproof sheets could be used. Suitably, the apertures 11 on the sheeting may extend along three sides of the sheeting 4 thereby permitting use of the sandwich structure of the present invention to provide a watertight seal where two sides of flexible waterproof sheeting 4 joins.
Suitably, the flexible waterproof sheeting 4 may be provided on a roll for ease of rolling out and putting away.
Suitably, the flexible waterproof sheeting will also comprise some means of attaching the top of the sheeting to the walls of the building. This could be in the form of apertures or in the form of loops for example.
FIG. 6 shows a substantially conical shaped sealing means (FIG. 6A) and a substantially V shaped sealing means (FIG. 6B). Suitably the conical shaped sealing means may be used between the surface in the vicinity of the surface to be protected (e.g. the floor or wall) and the inner plate 2, whereas the V shaped sealing means may preferably be used between the inner plate 2 and outerplate 3. Advantageously, the V formation of the seal may allow for ease of erection.
The flood barrier system of the present invention may be erected as follows. Holes will have been drilled into the house and/or boundary floor and the sleeves of the rawl bolts may be permanently in place inside these holes. These holes will be set at a distance to cooperate with the apertures 6 in the plates 2,3. When there is a perceived risk of flooding, the inner plate 2 is then affixed to the wall or floor with a rubber seal being substantially continuous inside the V formation 12 in the plate 2. Another rubber seal 5 may then be placed over the outfacing V indentation such that it is substantially continuous along the length of the inner plate 2. On top of this is placed the flexible waterproof sheeting 4, another sealing means 5 followed by the outer plate 3 to form a sandwich of inner plate 2, waterproof flexible sheeting 4 and outer plate 3. The rawl bolts 7 are then tightened to compress the sandwich to form a watertight seal.
The sandwich of inner plate 2, waterproof flexible sheeting 4 and outer plate 3 with seals S is constructed around the entire perimeter of the building. This may be achieved by doing sections of the sandwich along the wall in accordance with the length of the plates 2,3 or by doing one layer at a time.
Anchor points on the walls of the building may also be in place such that the top end of the sheeting 4 in use is affixed to the walls of the building.
At sections where the edges of waterproof flexible sheets 4 join, the sandwich system can extend from the below the airbriek level at the point of the join up until the desired height of protection from flooding to provide a watertight seal.
Additionally and/or alternatively, the sandwich system may also be used to provide additional protection at the corners of the building.
The flood barrier system in accordance with the present invention, is therefore, advantageously simplistic and effective. The flood barrier system is very easy to self erect once the holes with rawl bolt sleeves are in place. The use of raw! bo!ts as the fixing system also advantageously allows for ease in taking down the flood bather system as desired so that the aesthetics of the house are not adverse!y affected.
Furthermore, the flood barrier system has been designed to use standard readily available materials to minimise costs, hence, the flood barrier system is cost-effective.
