Flood Protection – Water Wall by Swedfan
A robust, flexible and rapidly deployable flood protection system
Extreme weather, rising water levels and increasing climate impact place growing demands on durable flood protection solutions. The Swedfan Water Wall is a mobile flood barrier manufactured from high‑performance PVC fabric – developed using the same proven materials and production expertise as our most heavy‑duty ventilation ducts.​
Why choose the Swedfan Water Wall?
The Swedfan Water Wall is manufactured using our strongest PVC fabric, Titan – a knitted base fabric with very high tensile strength, designed for demanding industrial applications. This is the same fabric used in Swedfan’s most heavily loaded ventilation ducts.​
Rounded end design for maximum strength
The Swedfan Water Wall is designed using a rounded end design, allowing the full tensile strength of the fabric to be utilized. This construction minimizes point loads and significantly increases durability. ​​

How the Water Wall works
The Swedfan Water Wall is a flexible PVC flood barrier that is filled with water. Once filled, the barrier forms a stable wall where the weight of the water itself provides anchoring and stability against the ground.
​
The flexible construction allows the barrier to:
-
conform to uneven ground surfaces
-
remain stable without extensive ground anchoring
-
be quickly drained, relocated and reused
Designed to meet high requirements from authorities and emergency services
Technical requirements
Temporary flood protection systems are often subject to strict performance criteria. The Swedfan Water Wall is designed to address key operational requirements such as:
​
-
Flood retention heights of at least 80 cm (depending on dimension)
-
Low weight and compact volume for transport and storage
-
Rapid deployment in emergency situations
-
Modular design for long, continuous protective barriers
​
These characteristics make the Swedfan Water Wall well suited for municipal flood preparedness, industrial facilities and critical infrastructure.
