Spill Barriers

1. System Description

Löschwasserrückhaltung

General

Löschwasserrückhaltung

Spill barriers and barrier systems are suited for quickly locking and blocking building openings and yard entrances to prevent uncontrolled spilling of water-hazardous substances in case of an emergency or fire. This also concerns contaminated spill water leaking from burning buildings. IBS barriers systems enable the fast and economic protection of regions prone to floods.

Spill Barrier - Principle

Löschwasserrückhaltung

In principle, IBS' system consists of two components: The end posts, which are installed in the building's opening or in front of it and the dam beams mounted between the end posts.

A ground track is not required. The system is connected with the ground by means of an extremely flexible ground seal. Vertical tensioning tools press the ground seal onto the installation site.

Flexibility

Löschwasserrückhaltung

The outstanding features of the IBS systems are their fast application, easy handling as well as the large-dimension special seals with an outstanding compensation of ground unevenness of 15 mm, which also allows their application on contaminated and rough surfaces like pavement, button or diamond pattern plate and for special cases, e.g. track beds.

By manufacturing its own spill barriers, IBS is capable to provide special solutions and modifications of standard models in a short time at economic prices.

IBS has developed its own automatic barrier variant. This is based on certified locking systems fed via gas pressure cartridges. Extensive and costly external energy supplies like compressed air or electric energy are no longer required.

IBS also offers mobile support posts or additional braces for larger distances.

Materials
