flow of liquid are installed worldwide for many diverse
applications. Flood barriers are well suited for low-lying
areas and others that are prone to flooding.
POP-UP DESIGNS PROTECT AUTOMATICALLY
These unique FM-approved pop-up designs are fully
automatic and require no external power or compressed
air supply. They are constructed of solid welded stainless
steel for chemical resistance and long service life. The
self-contained one-piece design is factory-adjusted,
lubricated, and easily installed in existing doorways. When
not in use, barriers are stored horizontally on the floor,
permitting normal vehicular traffic. NFPA, IFC, and OSHA
approve Denios US Pop-Up Flood and Spill Barriers. Built
to order in Louisville, Kentucky, and proven in thousands
of installations worldwide, they are ideal for use anywhere
that flooding is a concern or where spill or sprinkler
discharge containment is possible.
HOW IT WORKS
When not deployed, the Pop-Up Barrier stores flat on the
floor, so there is no need for berms or ramps. When a liquid
flow reaches the barrier, it is collected in the sump that
houses the barrier wall. As the volume of liquid increases,
it displaces the wall from its horizontal position. The builtin
mechanism then brings the barrier to its full locked and
upright position, containing or holding back the impending
liquid. This lightning-fast response to a spill or flooding
event can save time and money on cleanup operations. After
the event, Pop-Up Barriers can be easily reset and reused.
ESSENTIAL FOR SPILLS AND SPRINKLER
MANAGEMENT
Federal and local regulations mandate that sprinkler water
mixed with regulated or hazardous materials must not be
allowed to enter sewers, streams, or soil, which could lead
to severe environmental contamination. In the event of a
release, the associated fines and cleanup costs can be
substantial. Pop-up spill barriers are critical for containing
such spills within the facility, allowing for effective
management and mitigation.
These barriers are custom-built to fit doorways and
come in various sizes, ranging from 3 to 16 feet wide
and with heights of 12, 18, or 24 inches. Their robust
construction supports vehicular traffic of up to 6.5 tons of
axle weight when not in use.

ELIMINATE INSURANCE CLAIMS FROM
FLOOD DAMAGE
Over 80 percent of flood damage is caused by less
than 15 inches of water. FM-approved (FM Approvals
Class 2510 2012) Pop-Up Barriers offer automatic
protection for lower-level building access points and
facility modifications. Their flexible design allows for
the installation of both inside and outside exterior doors.
Available in widths up to 20 feet and heights of 12, 18, or
24 inches, these barriers remain flat when not in use and
can support vehicular traffic up to 6.5 tons of axle weight.
MANUALLY OPERATED VERSIONS AVAILABLE
The newest addition to the Denios family of spill and flood
barriers, manual containment barriers allow the practical
and cost-effective retention of polluting fluids. They are
ideal for warehouses and areas with few pedestrian or
vehicle doors to protect, and indoors without excessive
pedestrian or vehicular traffic, the barriers can remain
horizontal and avoid possible leaks. Various styles and
sizes of manual spill control barriers are available,
including manual insertable, pivoting, loading dock
barriers, and step-ramp style barriers.
