| (54) | Flood barrier arrangement |
| (57) The present invention relates to an improved barrier arrangement to inhibit fluid
passing through a structural opening. The barrier arrangement comprises a main frame
structure which is expandable in a first direction to engage the barrier arrangement
with a structural opening and the arrangement further comprises a frame expansion
element which is moveable relative to the main frame structure between a contracted
and an expanded configuration to enable expansion of the barrier arrangement in a
second direction to further engage the barrier arrangement in a second direction with
a structural opening. In the expanded configuration a separation opening is defined
between the main frame structure and the frame expansion element and as such a projection
is provided which is arranged to substantially occlude the separation opening, wherein
the frame expansion element, projection and main frame structure each comprise outwardly
facing abutment surfaces facing the first direction and being coplanar in the expanded
configuration.
