Our water inflated flood control systems can meet the demands of a wide variety of protection requirements and site conditions. The AquaDam works by constraining water-tight tubes within a woven outer sleeve. In conjunction with the stability baffle, this design creates a temporary non-rolling water-filled barrier which is able to control up to ¾ of its height in flood water depth when filled.
Less expensive to purchase than alternative earth- or water-filled flood barriers. Low-impact removal. No HazMat disposal fees.
The dry weight of a transported AquaDam is about 0.0025% of its filled weight, easily handled by a 1-2 person team.
Installation can take from 1 to 8 hours. Removal may take 3-8 hours. Timeframes are dependent on site-specific conditions.
Can follow the twists and turns of nearly any deployment path, over uneven terrain.
EPA compliant, designed to conform to all the requirements of the Clean Water Act
Lower Labor and Equipment Requirements than traditional alternatives
Over 30 years of experience in flood control
AquaDams can mitigate flood damage by creating an impermeable barrier around homes and property. Installation is 10 times faster than sandbag dikes and requires much less manpower. Generally, 2 people and 2 pumps. AquaDams can be drained and stored for reuse, making them a great option for protection from annual snowmelt or rainy seasons. AquaDams have a high potential for reuse, but reuse is not guaranteed. Protect your home and investment with the innovative solution developed from over decades of experience.
"I was the crazy guy. Everybody was kinda going by, laughing at me. But today they are really impressed with this AquaDam. $8,300 is to me, a small investment on a house that could have two feet of water in it and cost me $150,000 in repairs."
"We saved the house three consecutive years, so we think the AquaDam is pretty cheap protection."
