We are based in Salisbury, Wiltshire and are part of the Alfagomma group.
We are the sole supplier for the UK and Scandinavia for our water inflated flood defence system “ALFA WATER BARRIER” in co-operation with our Canadian sister company.
The Double Dam & Triple Dam barriers from Argus are water-inflated dams that quickly deploy and are filled with any available source of water and are very friendly where environmental impact is a concern.
They are reusable, provide flexible layout options, do not cause substrate damage, and are suitable for worksite dewatering and flood protection in waters up to 3’ (0.9m) deep (Double Dam) and up to 6’ (1.8m) (Triple Dam) as well as pond segregation and being retaining structures for liquids during drought conditions.
They are ideally suited for Agricultural / rural flood defence as well as commercial / industrial property and housing / community protection.
The “flood dams” have been specifically designed to be modular and can be joined together to obtain any length required. The “double dam” is easily deployable by a single person and the “triple dam” by two people. The sections are totally 100% reusable and fold up effortlessly for minimal storage space requirements.

Are they repairable?
Yes. Minor holes and tears can be easily repaired.
How do they work?
Double/Triple Dam use any available water source for filling. When the dam is full and the water level outside of the dam is up to 3/4 of the filled height (25% freeboard) that makes the filled dam heavier than the surrounding water. The integral stabilizing panel(s) force the dam to maintain an oval shape so it cannot roll.
