Apollo supplies demountable aluminium flood barriers, modular temporary barriers and water-absorbing flood bags for selected flood-protection projects. Product selection starts with the actual water path: river or coastal water, surface runoff, groundwater, drain or sewer backup and wind-driven rain can reach a building in different ways, so opening protection must be coordinated with drainage, deployment and what happens if the primary defence is exceeded.
Flood Protection · Key answers
Apollo's flood-protection pathway combines reusable opening barriers, rapid temporary defence and broader site-water planning so the selected product is matched to the actual opening, flood path, deployment time and property conditions.
The current product families include demountable aluminium flood barriers, modular plastic flood barriers and water-absorbing flood bags. Additional flood-system categories are marked Coming Soon where they are not yet available as a defined Apollo product pathway.
Provide the location, plans or photographs, opening widths or required defence-line length, target protection height where known, wall or ground construction, flood-path information, storage and deployment needs, and any available flood-level or engineering information.
No. Water depth, pressure, leakage, fixing, structural capacity and certification claims remain tied to the exact product, span, installation method and current technical evidence.

Explore flood bagsA door barrier cannot solve groundwater pressure, and a larger drain does not solve a driveway that directs runoff into a garage. The first flood question is where the water comes from, how deep and fast it may be, how long it may remain, and which path it takes to the building.
Reduce water reaching the property where practical. Protect vulnerable openings. Consider drain and sewer backflow. Define the role of pumps and their power source. Then identify the limit at which exclusion is no longer the right strategy.
A demountable barrier can hold back street runoff while rainfall continues behind it. A complete scheme therefore considers internal drainage, overflow, displaced water and the consequences transferred to adjacent parts of the site.
Storage, warning time, sealing-surface condition, access, manual operation and the number of people required to deploy a system all affect whether it will actually protect the opening when needed.
Where water cannot be guaranteed to stay out, resilience can also mean raising vulnerable equipment, reducing absorbent finishes in suitable non-habitable zones, keeping cavities inspectable and making cleaning and drying easier after the event.
Project planning sequence
Map the hazard and building interfaces. Prioritise the interfaces with the greatest consequence. Verify the exact product information and local design requirements. Integrate structure, drainage, power, access and recovery. Maintain the system so the protection remains effective over time.
Project-specific technical review
The planning guide helps identify what to protect and which questions to ask. Structural, flood, electrical, wildfire, drainage and product-performance decisions are then confirmed against the selected system, current project documentation, local requirements and qualified professional input where required.
