Maintenance and replacement parts

Given the remarkable resistance of our aluminium alloys to corrosion, there is no need for maintenance, no greasing or tightening… with the exception of power-washing the equipment if soiled by mud or other dirt.

Apart from the joints, the other materials used in the manufacturing of our barriers are not subject either to corrosion or wear and tear in the normal way. Obviously, where there is incorrect use of the components of the mobile flood barrier (handling or storage without precautions…) or inappropriate usage in regard to the purpose of the product (for example impacts or collision from vehicles, wheeled or afloat, flotsam etc.), the damage may lead to replacement.

Sealant gaskets, which are uviosensitives ( dryness and premature ageing ) must be checked annually and, if needed,  be replaced. The presence of fissures or cracks will be a sign of this ageing, which will reduce their mechanical properties and therefore their water tightness.

In all events, the equipment must be stored in a covered area.
