About the Aquacast flood defence system

By overlapping at half block lengths in alternate directions the reverse slots provide a rigid format with a uniformly pitched centrally located aperture. These cavities can be filled with various materials to form permanent or temporary constructions. Steel pilings can be used through the centre of each cast to add additional reinforcement and strength when required. The blocks can be used below the water level rising above water level as needed.  Further blocks can be added to or taken away from the original structure at a later date if required.

The Aquacast blocks have been tested at the Flood Chamber by Aquobex to the PASS standard which is sponsored by the Environment Agency.
