Hammerhead™ Aluminum Flood Barrier System
The Hammerhead™ aluminum flood barrier system is a durable, stackable stop-log solution designed to protect doorways, entrances and other openings from flooding. The system has been tested and is FM 2510 / ASCE 2510 approved.
U-Channel posts are permanently installed on either side of the opening to be protected. When flooding is expected, aluminum planks are inserted into the posts and stacked to the required protection height.
The Hammerhead™ flood barrier is designed to withstand significant water pressure while helping protect residential, commercial and industrial properties from a wide range of flooding conditions. Its rigid construction also makes it suitable for areas where high winds or debris may be expected.
The system features the patent-pending SureGasket™ and AlumiSeal™ enhanced sealing technologies, designed to improve leak protection and provide a reliable barrier against water infiltration.

How Does the Hammerhead™ Flood Panel System Work?
Hammerhead™ aluminum flood barriers use a series of aluminum planks, or “logs”, that slide into support posts installed on either side of the opening being protected. Depending on the installation environment and site requirements, the mounting bolts can face either towards or away from the water.
The planks feature Rubber EPDM seals on their underside, while the support posts incorporate Rubber EPDM sealing material within the channels. Together, these components help create a durable seal against water infiltration.
For additional resistance against floodwater, wind and debris, the planks are tightened against the internal seals and secured from the top. This helps keep the flood barrier firmly positioned during severe conditions.
As floodwater rises, increasing hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressure helps enhance the sealing effect of the barrier.
Flood Barrier Mounting Options
Choose between inside- or outside-mounted posts depending on your installation environment. Factors such as threshold construction, window or door configuration, wall construction and aesthetic requirements can influence the preferred mounting arrangement. Corner or centre posts can also be added where required.

When a flood is expected, insert the planks into the U-channels on either side of the opening.
Loosen the tightening bolts and top locking bracket before inserting the planks.
Ensure the rubber seal faces downward to create an effective seal against the ground.
Apply appropriate pressure to the lower plank to help establish a good seal.
Continue inserting the planks until the required flood barrier height has been reached.
If reflective warning tape has been selected, place the tape-equipped plank at the top of the barrier.
Tighten Planks Into U-Channel Posts
Use the included Allen wrench to tighten the flood planks against the internal rubber seals.
Insert the top locking clamps into the post top slots and tighten them with the Allen wrench.
Use the tightening bolts on the posts to secure the planks within the U-channel and maintain contact with the internal sealing strips.
After the flood has passed, remove the planks in reverse order, clean away debris, dry the components and store the barrier for future use.
SureGasket™ and AlumiSeal™ Enhanced Sealing Systems
Hammerhead™ SureGasket™ Seal
Hammerhead® flood barriers incorporate the patent-pending SureGasket™ sealing system, designed to improve the connection between the post, bottom plank and ground. The engineered gasket design helps address potential leakage at the intersection between these components and provides enhanced sealing where it is most important.
Hammerhead™ AlumiSeal™ Sill Extrusion
For applications requiring enhanced flood protection, the AlumiSeal™ aluminum plate extrusion is designed to improve the seal between the Hammerhead® bottom plank, sill plate and ground surface.
The arced aluminum extrusion aligns with the bottom plank seal and works with the closed-bottom SureGasket™ configuration to provide an advanced leak protection system.
Powder Coating of Posts Available
For improved aesthetics, powder coating can be added to the Hammerhead™ flood barrier system. Four standard colour options are available, helping the post mounts blend more effectively with the surrounding structure.
