MHD was awarded £10,000 to commercialise a flood product idea from London South Bank University. The invention prevents water from entering building doorways; which is the main entry point during floods. The product regularly exhibits at the annual Flood Expo event at the ExCel London, the UK's national exhibition centre. The product has been manufactured and sold to several companies including Aviva, which is the UK's largest Insurance company. 

The product has recently passed the latest British Standard, Kitemark PAS 1188-1:2014. Testing included waves and current flow as well as water up to 840mm high against the barrier for up to 7 days with the water level falling and rising to simulate how floodwater could drop and then return in a live situation.
