The NOAQ Boxwall BW52 is a freestanding temporary flood barrier. It is designed specifically for the urban environment, with even surfaces like asphalt streets, but it works as well on lawns etc.
A NOAQ Boxwall BW52 is able to dam 50 cm of water and is self-anchoring. It is automatically ballasted by the own weight of the flood water. The higher the water rises, the harder the barrier is pressed firm against the ground. Utilizing the weight of the water, the barrier itself doesn’t need to be heavy.
Individual ”boxes” weigh only 6,1 kg each and the barrier not more than 6.8 kg per meter. This makes it easy to use, and very fast. Two people can build 200 linear metres of boxwall in an hour. A Boxwall is built by snapping the boxes together. No tools are needed
Gradual curves are made by connecting the boxes at a slight angle, and for corners there are specific corner boxes. The Boxwall can also be used during a flash flooding event to divert water away from vulnerable areas. A number of boxes are put in the flowing water and will stick directly to the ground.
The boxes are stackable, which means they require very little space for storage and transport. 26 boxes (23 m) fit on a standard pallet.
There is also a higher Boxwall model, the BW102, which is able to hold back 100 cm of water.

NOAQ Boxpool
NOAQ Boxpool BP50 is a temporary basin for storing liquids of different kinds. Clean water, contaminated water, firewater, dredged material etc. It can also be used for temporarily storage of dry matter like sawdust, wood chips and pellets.
A NOAQ Boxpool is assembled by the same components (”boxes”) as the NOAQ Boxwall, our mobile flood barrier, which means the same device can be used for two quite different purposes.
A NOAQ Boxpool can be any size. Here are three models, BP50-1, BP50-8 and BP50-38, containing 1, 8 and 38 cubic metres resp.
