Flex-Gate Flood Barrier
Point-of-use flex-gate barriers use a high-strength, durable fabric wall to provide watertight, scalable flood control. This patented design is fully customizable for flexible flood protection lengths and challenging water heights – even surrounding difficult structural corners or angles. Barriers are designed for simple, rapid deployment during emergency flooding situations – and can be deployed by minimal personnel in 30 minutes or less.
Flex-Gate Flood Barriers In-Action
Orange Flood Control, LLC has installed resilient, low-maintenance, and rapid-deployed flex-gates at facilities across the United States. These high-strength, fabric walls can easily be deployed across vulnerable building openings, window walls, stairwells, and pedestrian doors – typically by a single person in minutes – even when heavy rainfall or high wind conditions are present. After deployment, these devices are stored at the point-of-use with all the necessary hardware, materials, and components.
Stored On-Site For Rapid Deployment
Bottom-Deploy Flex Gate
Bottom-deploy flex gates are stored in a covered trench at point-of-use – ensuring all critical deployment components, materials, and hardware is accessible during a flooding emergency. Trenches can be designed and shaped to surround any vulnerable structure – even those with curves, tight angles, or rigid corners. These barriers can be deployed and stowed by a single person within minutes – even during high winds or rainfall conditions.
Available, Point-Of-Use Storage
Quick Deployment – 1 Person Required
Watertight & Corrosion-Resistant
Fully Customizable For Any Opening
Hidden Below Building’s Grade
High-Strength, Dry Floodproofing Protection
Side-Deploy Flex Gate
Side–deploy flex gates are stored at the point-of-use – in a container holding all necessary tools, materials, and components. During deployment, the barrier is anchored to the ground using clamp bars or integral weights – creating a reliable watertight seal. This customizable, scalable design can be engineered to fit any at-risk vulnerable opening – preventing flooding and high-wind debris impacts.
Minimize Disruptions & Downtime
FM Approved & Vetted
Seepage Less Than 0.5 GAL/MIN/FT
Compact, Point-Of-Use Storage
Anchored Skirt Deploys Quickly
Protect Vertical Stairwells & Critical Infrastructure
Stairwell Flex Gate
High-strength flex gates create a watertight seal along vulnerable stairwells, ventilation shafts, basement doors, or other at-risk openings of any size, length, or orientation. When not in use, these devices are stored in a convenient, accessible container at the point-of-use. When flood risks are imminent, the barrier can easily be rolled out across the opening by a single person in minutes. Compared to other barriers, the stairwell flex-wall requires fewer moving components – reducing maintenance requirements and life-cycle costs.

Flexible Protection Walls & Barriers
Flex-Gate Barrier Installation
During severe flooding events, flex walls and barriers can surround entire facilities and valuable free-standing equipment or machinery. Orange Flood Control, LLC has installed these flexible barriers to protect glass storefronts, at-risk doors, loading docks, and entire building perimeters. Once flood waters recede, these systems can be easily retracted and reused for future emergencies – preserving architecture and building aesthetics.
FM Approved
FM Approvals is the most trusted, industry leading certification authority that analyzes flood mitigation barriers and products.
Versatile Configuration
Flex-gate barriers offer versatile, 100% customizable configuration options – depending on flood elevation, wind conditions, and seepage allowance.
Durable Components
Flex-barriers are engineered with water-resistant, tamper-proof, and damage-tolerant fabric, containers, intermediate posts, and receivers.
Rapid Deployment
Stairwell, bottom, and side-deploy flex barriers are rapid to deploy – typically requiring 1-2 facility personnel a maximum of 60 minutes.
Stored On-Site
Deployment hardware and components are stored on-site – using an above-ground, tamper-proof metal box & secure door panel.
Scalable Design
These point-of-use flood barriers have a scalable design that can be configured to fit any vertical opening or required building perimeter length.
