Eco - Dam - Water Filled Barrier
The Eco-Dam is a water filled barrier fabricated from High Tensile European produced PVC and manufactured using Computer Controlled High Frequency Welding Techniques. This ensures structural strength as well as both water proof and gas tight seams. It consists of two sections separated by an internal partition. This locks into place when the barrier is exposed to uneven water pressure, as demonstrated by the diagrams below. The patented design ensures stability by preventing rolling, whilst allowing the water to move freely inside.
There are many benefits to the Eco-Dam that make it an effective and efficient alternative to more traditional methods of flood defence such as sandbags.
- Easy to use
- Can be deployed in less than 10 minutes with the use of a pump
- Minimal storage required
- Reuseable
- Recyclable
- Cost effective to purchase and use
- Versatile
- Overlapping modular design that can afford protection to large areas.
- No extensive clean up required
The Eco-Dam is a versatile, water-filled flood barrier that can be used in a variety of ways. It can protect homes from impending flooding, act as a cofferdam on construction sites or during the reconstruction of rivers and create large reservoirs. Some of the applications include:
- Repairs to watercourses and river crossings
- Creation of temporary reservoirs
- Hazardous spill containment
- Dredging and sediment control
- Shoreline restoration
- The ultimate flood protection barrier
