ABSTRACT:
A moveable flood barrier requires a permanent channel in the path of expected flood waters and is normally closed by a removeable cover. The barrier consists of a series of units dimensioned to be removeably seated in the channel and detachably interconnected. Each unit includes at least one panel disposed to face flood waters and a reenforcement to which the panel or panels are attached. The junctions between panels are sealed and seals extend lengthwise of the barrier and are secured to the panels thereto and detachably secured to the channel wall first in the path of the flood waters. Where required, a brace for each unit is detachably secured thereto and to a permanent normally covered socket on the leeward side of the channel.
