A sectionalized flood control barrier ( 10 ) for mounting on top of a levee or a river bank to prevent flooding. The barrier ( 10 ) consists of a footing ( 20 ) with a series of support channels ( 24 ) that are butted end to end attached to the footing. The support shells are sealed watertight at the interface with each other and also to the footing. A series of primary channel bridge assemblies ( 32 ) and secondary channel assemblies ( 46 ) are disposed within the support channels ( 24 ) and are also butted end to end. Wind protectors ( 60 ) contiguously engage each support channel ( 24 ) and rest upon the footing for diverting the wind over the barrier. Stepped fastening risers ( 62 ) are attached to the footing on each end and over the channel assemblies, and wind protectors hold them securely in place. |
