Project Overview

Residential Flood Protection Project

Flow Defence supplied and installed demountable flood barriers across multiple entry points at a residential property in Bald Hills QLD. The system was designed to help prevent floodwater entering the property during creek flooding and heavy rainfall events.

Because the property is located adjacent to a creek that regularly floods, multiple access points created pathways for water to enter the site. A dependable whole-of-property solution was needed to reduce the risk of water ingress across driveways and pedestrian entry points.

The Problem

Flood Risk from Nearby Creek

The property is situated next to a creek that frequently overtops during heavy rainfall, causing floodwater to flow toward the site. Multiple access points, including driveways and pedestrian entries, created vulnerable openings where water could enter the property from several directions at once.

This posed a risk to:

Vehicles and outdoor areas
Internal living spaces
Personal belongings and storage
Overall property condition

Without protection, floodwater could enter through multiple locations, increasing the likelihood of widespread damage.

The Solution

Demountable Flood Barrier Installation

Flow Defence installed a demountable flood barrier system across all key entry points to provide site-specific residential flood protection. The barriers were designed for multiple openings, including driveways and pedestrian access areas, with a barrier height of 0.84m.

This system was chosen because it:

can be installed across multiple openings
provides flexible protection for different entry points
is well suited to residential properties exposed to recurring flooding
offers a practical and reusable flood protection solution

The Outcome

Whole-of-Property Flood Protection

The completed installation provides flood protection across all key entry points, helping reduce the risk of water entering the property during creek flooding events.

The installed barriers help to:

protect the property from multiple water entry points
reduce the risk of widespread flood damage
provide flexible protection for driveways and pedestrian access
improve overall property resilience
provide a practical long-term flood protection solution for properties exposed to creek flooding

The result is a dependable residential flood protection system designed to help protect the home during repeated flood events.

How It Works

Demountable Barriers Across Entry Points

The barriers are installed across driveways and pedestrian access points when flood conditions are expected. They create a physical barrier that helps prevent water entering the property, protecting both external and internal areas from floodwater ingress.

Once the flood risk has passed, the barriers can be removed and stored for future use. This makes the system well suited to residential properties that require flexible, reusable protection across multiple vulnerable openings.
