LENOIR® Protection Systems
Your expert for flood and heavy rain protection systems
Climate change is increasingly confronting us with extreme weather hazards, including floods and heavy rainfall events. The risks, hazards, and damage patterns are extensive and diverse, ranging from minor inconveniences to major damage to infrastructure and assets, and also encompassing tragic personal injuries and emotional trauma.
Traditional flood control measures such as sandbags or structural modifications are time-consuming and expensive to implement, require significant resources, and are often neither ecologically nor economically sustainable.
LENOIR® Protection Systems, a globally active Swiss family business with roots in mobile, location-independent flood and heavy rain protection dating back more than 20 years, has been successfully producing and distributing the renowned LENOIR® water barriers since 2011. These barriers hold the undisputed quality leadership in the world of self-erecting barriers.
The flexible systems can be handled without heavy equipment. Customers worldwide rely on these proven systems in the fight against floods, high water, and heavy rain.
The focus is explicitly on solutions for disaster relief that represent reliable, proven tools under the most difficult conditions. Key system requirements are therefore:
- No compromises on quality and reliability
- Deployment exclusively with readily available and deployable resources
- No electricity, heavy equipment, wheel loaders, cranes, reels, gantries, etc. required
- Assembly is achieved solely by muscle power
- Simple, easily understandable technology
- Minimal personnel required
- Fast, effective, flexible
- LENOIR® barriers, in particular, can be used on almost any surface and are characterized by their mobility in rough terrain for all locations.
- No loose parts, complicated connectors, or multi-component system components such as logistics aids, unrolling aids, nets, tarpaulins, guy wires, etc.
- LENOIR® barriers automatically erect themselves upon water ingress and require no further intervention after installation
- All systems are infinitely extendable and compatible with other systems
- Low maintenance
- Repairable
- Small storage space requirement
- Reusable for decades, making it economically and ecologically sustainable
LENOIR® self-erecting water barriers is the only system of its kind certified by the EVH European Association for Flood Protection in the disaster relief category. This gives you the peace of mind that, in addition to decades of experience and thousands of references, independent bodies have also tested and confirmed the performance of the systems.
Development and production of the LENOIR® water barriers takes place in our production facilities in Switzerland. Even under regular, harsh operating conditions, the dams have a lifespan of decades. That's why countless leading industrial companies, fire departments, operators of critical infrastructure, high-value facilities, civil defense organizations, and armed forces worldwide rely on LENOIR® protection systems.
LENOIR® Protection Systems not only delivers proven and reliable protection systems but also provides training and operational consulting.
