NOAQ Boxwall BW50

A NOAQ Boxwall is a self-anchoring, mobile wall that provides flood protection. The NOAQ

Boxwall BW50 creates a dam for water up to a height of 50 cm. The boxwall is so light that

it can quickly be set up to protect buildings and other property against water damage, and

also to keep roads open. A boxwall is designed for use on an even, firm surface, such as a

paved street or a concrete floor. The boxwall is patent-protected in a large number of countries.

A boxwall consists of sections (boxes) that are linked together by means of a simple manual

operation. Each joint is then fixed using a special clamp.

Each box consists of a damming part (the rear wall), an anchor part (the horizontal section

that rests on the ground) and a sealing part (the front edge of the horizontal section. Sealing

strips of cellular plastic are fitted under the front and side edges. Each box is also fitted with

a pair of cellular rubber soles to create a good grip on the road.

A boxwall is built up by snapping boxes one at a time onto the previous one. The easiest

way is to work from left to right (viewed from the dry side). You should avoid working from

two directions, as it is difficult to make the two wall sections meet at exactly the same point.

This is how a NOAQ Boxwall works The base section of the boxwall is pressed firmly against the ground by the weight of the flood water.
Page 3 If it connects at a right angle or at a sharp angle, a gable section (a section of the NOAQ Gablewall) is recommended. Another option is bolting a plank to the façade, as support, or placing something heavy behind the last box.
Page 4 If there is a risk that surface water drains or culverts might divert the flood water under the wall and into the protected area, these channels should be plugged or blocked in a suitable way in order to reduce the need for pumping capacity. NOAQ BW50 1.4 140723...
Page 5 5. Combine boxwall and tubewall. A NOAQ Boxwall can be combined with a NOAQ Tubewall. The walls are laid so that they overlap by a metre or so, ideally with the tubewall closest to the flood and the boxwall beneath and behind the tubewall.
