Floatation Device

The flotation device is an engineered support system designed to protect mobile structures from flood-related damage. Mobile structures such as temporary housing units, construction site offices, or warehouse equipment are highly vulnerable in flood-prone areas. This technology addresses that vulnerability by providing a base platform that both stabilises and elevates structures during flood events. The device consists of interlocking modular units made from durable, high-strength plastic materials. These units are assembled to form a solid base, which can be anchored securely into the ground using support poles. Under normal conditions, the device functions as a stable foundation. However, in the event of rising water levels, the flotation base lifts, causing the supported structure to rise above the floodwaters. The anchoring system ensures that the elevated structure remains balanced, stable, and in place.
