Salient features

  • Light weight

  • Excellent abrasion-resistant

  • Highly impermeable material Instant installation

Performance Capabilities:

  • Replacement Ratio: 1 unit ≈ 1,000 Sandbags.
  • Deployment Speed: Rapid (can be installed by a single person).
  • Surface Compatibility: Effective on asphalt, concrete, and relatively level compacted ground.
  • Stability Factor: Stability increases proportionally with water height (Rising water level = Higher
    downward pressure).

Usage Limitations:

  • Mechanical Damage:While durable, barriers should be protected from sharp objects and extreme debris impact.
  • Extreme Terrain:Stability may be reduced on very rocky or severely uneven ground without proper site preparation

Key Features:

  • Superior Efficiency: Significantly faster to assemble and remove than traditional sandbags.
  • Terrain Adaptability: Semi-liquid water content allows the barrier to conform to uneven ground
    surfaces for a better seal.
  • Modular Design: Patented joining system allows for continuous dams of any length.
  • Scalability: For extreme water levels, a third single hose can be added on top of the twin-element
    base for additional height.
  • Reusability: Fully portable and easy to store; a one-time investment for recurring flood risks.
  • No Infrastructure Needed: Completely independent; requires no permanent ground fixings or
    supports.
  • Rapid Installation: Easy to deploy and inflate within minutes.
  • Modular Design: Booms can be joined seamlessly to achieve desired length.
  • Extended Front Frock: Enhances sealing efficiency and minimizes seepage.
  • High Durability: Resistant to abrasion, puncture, UV rays, and extreme weather.
  • Compact Storage: Deflates and folds for convenient transport and reuse.
  • Comprehensive Accessories: Includes all necessary tools for setup and maintenance

Operational Process:

  • Deployment: Layout the empty sleeves in the desired position. If using pneumatic models, initially inflate with air to shape and position the barrier.
  • Connection: Join segments using the patented link system to achieve the required length.
  • Filling: Fill the tubes with water from a nearby hydrant or pump. The weight of the water anchors the barrier to the ground
  • Removal: Once the threat subsides, drain the water, clean, and fold the sleeves for compact storage.

Applications

  • Airport Hangars
  • Industrial Complexes
  • Warehouses and Annex Buildings
  • Power Plants and Refineries
  • Emergency Flood Response Units

Other Services

  • Mass Decontamination Unit

    Mass decontamination (abbreviated mass decon) is the decontamination of large numbers of people, in the event of industrial, accidental, or intentional contamination by toxic, infective, caustic, polluted, or otherwise unhealthful or damaging
