A NOAQ Boxwall is a self-anchoring, mobile wall that provides flood protection. The NOAQ
Boxwall BW50 creates a dam for water up to a height of 50 cm. The boxwall is so light that
it can quickly be set up to protect buildings and other property against water damage, and
also to keep roads open. A boxwall is designed for use on an even, firm surface, such as a
paved street or a concrete floor. The boxwall is patent-protected in a large number of countries.

A boxwall consists of sections (boxes) that are linked together by means of a simple manual
operation. Each joint is then fixed using a special clamp.

Each box consists of a damming part (the rear wall), an anchor part (the horizontal section
that rests on the ground) and a sealing part (the front edge of the horizontal section. Sealing
strips of cellular plastic are fitted under the front and side edges. Each box is also fitted with
a pair of cellular rubber soles to create a good grip on the road.

A boxwall is built up by snapping boxes one at a time onto the previous one. The easiest
way is to work from left to right (viewed from the dry side). You should avoid working from
two directions, as it is difficult to make the two wall sections meet at exactly the same point.
