Known as the specialists in temporary flood defence and water diversion, Hydro Response provides cost-effective flood protection products and water containment solutions to emergency services, government, utility companies, construction companies, and commercial and residential property owners in flood-prone areas.
Its product range has been formulated on its ability to cater to New Zealand’s specific conditions with minimum environmental impact, and includes the Geodesign Barrier, Water-Gate™ barrier, the Flood International product range, the Floodgate door and vent sealing system, the WIPP™ system, and more.
One of its most popular products is the Swedish-designed Geodesign Barrier, which has been used throughout Europe, Australia and New Zealand for more than 24 years for civil works projects and flood protection operations. The barriers are deployable on any surface, providing a self-anchoring method of stability, and are a cost-effective alternative to other methods like sheet piling.
‘We provide our clients with the ability to fight floods, build temporary dams and reservoirs, and divert streams and other waterways.
‘Our products are easy and safe to use, and have no negative impact on the environment.’
Hydro Response is based in Christchurch and runs product demonstrations throughout New Zealand at various times.
