Explore our factory-direct hydro-buoyancy automatic flood gate systems designed specifically for urban rail transit, underground connection channels, and high-load traffic entrances.
In an era dominated by micro-burst storms, urban heat-island precipitations, and global climate shifts, modern underground rail transit networks (Subways, Metros, Rapid Transit Systems) face unprecedented vulnerability to surface water inundation. Metro entrances, ventilation shafts, emergency egress points, and subterranean connection channels represent high-risk pathways where flash floodwaters can submerge rail infrastructure in a matter of minutes.
Traditional flood control measures—such as manual sandbag deployment, stoplog aluminium barriers, or electrically powered vertical lift gates—exhibit critical single-point failures. Electric barriers fail during power grid blackouts (the precise moment severe storms hit), while manual sandbag stacking suffers from delayed human response times and high operational labor costs. Consequently, global procurement mandates from transit authorities in East Asia, North America, Europe, and the Middle East have pivoted toward Hydrodynamic Power-Free Automatic Flood Barriers.
Nanjing Junli Technology Co., Ltd. leads China's manufacturing sector in high-performance hydrodynamic flood control engineering. By utilizing the intrinsic force of incoming water buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure, our automatic flood gates rise automatically as floodwaters reach critical levels, locking securely to form an impenetrable water barrier without human intervention, sensors, or auxiliary electricity.
The system operates on Archimedes' principle. As surface runoff flows into the ground-recessed foundation frame basin, water pressure acts on the interior float chamber. This initiates an immediate self-rising rotational movement that lifts the heavy-duty stainless-steel panel into position within seconds.
To withstand high hydrostatic pressure heads up to 2.0 meters, our barriers feature customized industrial EPDM rubber seals along the side jambs and bottom lip. Under rising water pressure, the dynamic seal expands, eliminating leakage across extended retaining windows.
When collapsed flush with ground levels, the structural panel is rated for heavy-duty pedestrian and vehicular transit. Reinforced internal steel ribs allow heavy emergency vehicles, buses, and maintenance trucks to cross without panel distortion or seal degradation.

Junli Technology verifies every flood control system through rigorous hydrostatic testing pools prior to shipment. Our barriers are installed across rail networks in over 30 tier-1 cities.
During severe typhoon season, including Typhoon Bebinca, multiple underground stations equipped with Junli's hydrodynamic automatic flood barriers experienced zero flood penetration. As surface water accumulated at station entrance plazas, the submerged panels self-deployed passively without grid power, shielding underground concourses and train tracks from devastating water damage.
We provide full structural CAD blueprints, embedded frame templates, rebar spacing guidelines, and concrete pouring notes to seamlessly integrate our products into ongoing underground civil works or existing station retrofits.
Manufactured under strict ISO9001 and ISO14001 quality management regimes. Systems are tested against international hydrostatic pressure heads, meeting standards aligned with EN 13564, ASTM barrier testing protocols, and GB civil defense criteria.
From English CAD drawings and structural calculation notes to remote video commissioning supervision and spare seal kit logistics, we offer full lifecycle technical support for international contractors and engineering distributors.
