Product Summary
AquaDams® are the ideal tool for emergency flood control! Water-inflated cofferdam flood control barriers have proven to be very effective tools for flood fighting and protection. Affordable, effective, safe and easy to install, they save time, labor and money when compared to sandbags and other flood control devices!
Hurricane Tarp is a wind-proof, water-proof effective temporary roof patch.
Construction and Materials
The Aqua Dam is a robust flood control and storm protection system designed for temporary deployment. Its primary function is to create a water barrier, effectively diverting or containing floodwaters and storm surges. The system is engineered for rapid deployment, making it an essential tool for property protection during emergent weather events.
Construction and Materials
- Outer Casing: The Aqua Dam is constructed with a heavy-duty, high-tensile strength, woven polyethylene fabric. This material is specifically chosen for its durability and resistance to abrasion, punctures, and UV degradation, ensuring longevity even in harsh environmental conditions.
- Inner Bladder: Encased within the woven polyethylene shell is an inner bladder made from a reinforced PVC or urethane-coated nylon fabric. This inner bladder is responsible for containing the water used to ballast the structure.
- Deployment Mechanism: The Aqua Dam utilizes a unique design that allows for easy deployment. It is typically delivered flat and is inflated with water at the site of deployment.
- Sealing and Connection: Interconnecting units are designed to create a continuous barrier. Sealing mechanisms ensure a watertight connection between adjacent Aqua Dam sections, preventing water ingress.
- Anchoring (Implied): While not explicitly detailed, the inherent nature of a water barrier implies the need for stable placement. The weight of the water-filled bladder provides ballast, but strategic placement and potentially ancillary anchoring may be employed for maximum stability in high-force water situations.
Product Features
- Water-Filled Ballast: The primary method of stabilization and barrier creation is by filling the inner bladder with water. This provides significant weight and a stable structure that conforms to the terrain.
- Modular Design: Aqua Dams are designed to be joined together to create barriers of any desired length, offering flexibility for various site requirements and protection needs.
- Rapid Deployment: The system is engineered for quick setup, crucial for responding to rapidly rising water levels.
- Environmental Considerations: The materials are chosen for their resilience and ability to withstand outdoor elements.
