GENERAL   EQUIPMENT   INC.                    

Easy Installation:

The system  is stored on pallets stacked nine (9) high that can be delivered on the back of a pickup truck from your warehouse. A crew can install 150 linear feet in one hour.

You do not need any special equipment or additional materials to make the system work.  The system is a complete system designed for flood protection and designed to store easily.

Easy Dismantling:

After the flood waters have receded the system is quickly folded and stacked and stored.

Easy Disinfection:

“Flood waters and standing waters pose various risks, including infectious diseases, chemical hazards, and injuries.”

– CDC, U.S. Government

All flood protection products have been exposed to sewage, infectious disease, and chemical hazards and must be disinfected and cleaned following a flood.

In systems that require any filler materials such as sand or water they must be disposed of as a Level 3 contaminant which will add dramatically to your cost.

The system is a self contained system with no additive and can be washed down like other equipment without special disposition.

The system is easily washed with a commercial disinfectant and is ready to go back into storage immediately after.

Easy Storage:

The system is designed for easy storage. Each panel folds in half and is stackable to 9 high. We provide a palletized storage case for the nine panels. This storage case is capable of being stacked 4 high. You can store 36 panels in 28 sq feet of real estate or store on your warehouse racking.

If you chose to store outside we suggest covering with a tarp.

Multiple Uses:

The system is made of the world finest marine hardwood. Marine hardwood is a 7 layer birch ply with no air pockets and passing extraordinary strength tests. All hardware is tested aluminum and steel and can withstand the pressure of water. This is simple system that is engineered beyond the forces that flood waters will exert on it.

The storage design allows the panels to store easily, safely and stackable so that they can be warehoused between uses.

The system is designed in a way that all parts are replaceable if damaged.

The system is a onetime purchase with years of use and reuse.

MOBILE & EASILY TRANSPORTED

Flat packs are easily transported to flood sites by crate and lifted into place.

COST EFFECTIVE & REUSABLE

Cost of initial deployment is comparable to sandbags, but may be reused up to 60 times.

UNIQUE PATENTED DESIGN

The only flood protection system that becomes stronger when flood waters reach it.

RAPID DEPLOYMENT & REMOVAL

A team of 10 people can install or dismantle 150 feet of barricade per hour.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Quickly and safely cleaned after deployment.

SELECTIVE FORTIFICATION

Customizable barriers defend structures of any length or shape from flood heights up to 8 feet.

A proven lost cost protection for entrances. When a flood is forecast the system can be quickly erected in front of an entrance. In less than an hour the fence is in place. When the flood water recede the fence is quickly taken down, easily cleaned and disinfected with a garden hose, stacked and stored. An easy fast solution to getting your building opened again.

In all Flood barriers it is most important to be able to have a water tight seal where the barrier meets the building. This unique  system  designs and builds a custom closure when a standard closure will not work.

Reuse and Storage: it is designed for easy storage. Each panel folds in half and is stackable to 9 high. We provide a palletized storage case for the nine panels. This storage case is capable of being stacked 4 high. You can store 36 panels in a foot print of only 28 sq feet or store in your warehouse racking system.

Rapid deployment around a building or opening within hours of a pending flood event. Constructed of marine grade laminate, stainless steel, aluminum and reinforced PVC canvas, AquaFence systems become stronger as floodwater pressure is applied.

A team of 8-10 people can assemble 150 linear feet of 4-foot high panels in less than one hour.

This flood protection barrier systems perform effectively without the need for anchoring to the ground. In high-wind situations however, anchors will provide added stability and enhanced performance.

Corners

Corner panels of 30°, 45, 60° and 90° allow for sharp turns from one direction to another. Special corner panels can be produced upon request to accommodate unique angular requirements.

V1200 Inside Corner 45 Degrees

Side closure panels provide an effective tie-in to a fixed surface and a starting point for a string of panels in a barrier system.

They can be used in multiple configurations and are fully removable after a flood event.
