Aquaverter: Thoroughly Tested and Certified Flood Protection

Aquaverter underwent a comprehensive three month testing program conducted by Underwriters Laboratories to validate real world flood performance under controlled conditions.

Independent Full Scale Testing of Certified Flood Protection System

The Aquaverter flood barrier system was tested at full scale inside a dedicated laboratory environment. Custom test frames, reinforced structures, and controlled water systems were built specifically to simulate real flood conditions.

This setup allowed engineers to evaluate the system exactly as it would perform when installed on an actual building opening.

Waterproofing performance up to six feet

One of the primary evaluations focused on water tightness. The barrier system was subjected to sustained water levels reaching up to six feet in height.

These tests verified that Aquaverter maintains a consistent and reliable watertight seal without leakage under prolonged exposure.

Structural pressure and width height resistance

Pressure testing evaluated how the barrier panels respond to hydrostatic force across their full width and height. This ensured that performance remains consistent regardless of opening size or configuration.

These evaluations confirmed the structural strength of the panels and mounting system under sustained pressure.

Impact testing to simulate debris

Floodwater often carries debris that can strike barrier systems with force. Impact testing was performed to simulate debris contact during active flood events.

These tests confirmed that the Aquaverter system maintains integrity and alignment when subjected to sudden and repeated impacts.

Aquaverter flood barrier evaluated under dynamic water and wave simulation

Wave and movement simulation

Additional testing simulated wave action caused by wind and turbulent water movement. Unlike static pressure tests, these evaluations introduced dynamic forces against the barrier surface.

Aquaverter demonstrated stability and sealing performance even under moving water conditions.

Instrumented measurement and verification

Throughout the three month program, sensors and measurement equipment were used to record performance data in real time. This ensured that results were precise, repeatable, and verifiable.

Certified performance backed by proof

Every test conducted during the three month Underwriters Laboratories program was successfully passed at one hundred percent. As a result, Aquaverter achieved Underwriters Laboratories certification.

This certification confirms that the system meets strict international standards for flood protection performance, durability, and safety.

When flooding threatens your property, confidence comes from knowing your protection has been tested, verified, and certified.
