What users say about Haawal

“It was incredibly successful. Compared to sandbags, it is tighter and far less likely to be carried away by the current.”

Reinhardt Sørensen, Fire Chief

“400 meters of Haawal were efficiently installed within the planned four-hour timeframe, and we were impressed by how fast it was to set up.”

Our Story

A simple solution with an enormous impact

Haawal began with a question: Why were communities still fighting floods with sandbags — or, worse, with nothing at all? As young engineers, we set out to create a simpler, faster, and more accessible solution. What followed were years of testing, failing, learning, and improving until we finally had a prototype ready to face real floods. Today, Haawal’s mobile flood barriers protect communities across Europe.

  • Haawal is a flood barrier that can easily be set up to protect along rivers and coastlines, individual buildings, or be used in other use cases. Several municipalities, emergency services and private businesses have invested in the Haawal Flood Barrier, and has been used in a different cities across Europe. 

  • The Haawal Flood Barrier is designed for emergency services, municipalities and private businesses that needs to protect either local communities, buildings or other infrastructure against flooding. Different use-cases like building pools for water storage under forest fires, or building temporary dams have also been done by our customers. 

  • Haawal flood barriers are modular and temporary. This enables a public or private entity to purchase the Haawal system and use it different places and for different use-cases.

     

    While permanent flood protection solutions are great, they are usually expensive and can take years to implement. Temporary barriers, like Haawal, can be purchased once, and used immediately. It can also be taken down, stored and used again the next time there's flood. 

  • The Haawal Flood Barrier is a modular, self-stabilising solution. This means that the floodwater stabilise the barrier, and takes away the need for anchoring. This again makes it very simple to install, where no tools are needed. This video shows how the system can handle strong currents.

  • Every case is different, but we usually say that 100 meters can be installed in 1 hour, but of course it depends on conditions and how many people are present. This video shows how easy two people are setting up Haawal for a flood.

  • Yes! The fact that the Haawal Flood Barrier has been used in several floods is one thing that sets Haawal apart from many of its competitors. You can read testimonials higher up on this page, or visit our case studies to read more case studies about when Haawal has been used in real flood events. 

  • There are several temporary solutions on the market, and while all solutions have the same aim, there are strengths and weaknesses with all systems. Haawal is not the fastest system to set up, but when comparing speed to flexibility and reliability, Haawal is often the preferred choice for both public and private entities.

     

    Compared to sandbags, Haawal is much easier to both set-up and take down, while also being more water-tight.
