About this user
U.S. Flood Control Corp. is embarking on an exciting venture with the hope of becoming a world leader in emergency flood control.
It is our intention to get rid of sandbags completely and replace them with the safe use of the Tiger Dams emergency flood protection system in the prevention of floods. Attitudes toward flood prevention in the U.S. are changing quickly so that our tubes are becoming as common as the chain link fence. Our Tiger Dams water diversion system is the answer to emergency preparedness -- whether it is to protect personal, commercial or resort property, or any other structures at risk of flooding.
U.S. Flood Control Corp. offers products and systems that are easier to use, more environmentally sensitive and less expensive than conventional methods.
The core business of U.S. Flood Control Corp. is to provide emergency flood protection services in the United States and worldwide. The U.S. Flood Control Corp. is involved in the manufacturing, distribution, sales and rental of the emergency flood control equipment. By using "water to fight water" the need to erect sandbag dikes during or in anticipation of a flood has been eliminated.
The unique, affordable and effective Tiger Dams system, which replaces sandbags, is comprised of a series of engineered interlocking flexible tubes that are inflated with water to form an impervious temporary dam. The tubes are reusable and are constructed from an extremely rugged and puncture resistant material. The dam may be configured to control floods of varying depths by stacking and joining the segments in a pyramid shape. Also, the segments can be linked together seamlessly to form any length of dam required.
Property damage from future floods is inevitable, predictable and largely preventable. Global warming is causing a wide variety of climate changes and all experts agree we are going to experience more floods in more areas in the years to come. The time is now to take proactive measures to mitigate flood damage. By adopting and integrating this emergency flood control equipment into existing flood control strategies a significant amount of property damage can be avoided.
This Tiger Dams system has already proven to be a valuable tool in fighting floods and many government agencies, large corporations and individuals have adopted its use. By expanding the products and services of the company, it is management's hope that the emergency flood control system will become the primary method of providing temporary dams when emergency flood relief is required in the future.
BP OIL SPILL RESPONSE
Experts at the National Guard, Army, and BP -- with clearance from the EPA -- have chosen Tiger Dams to attempt to protect Louisiana's coastal areas from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
The Tiger Dams can be laid out in a straight line or zig-zagged in any shape to avoid or go around sensitive wetlands, beaches, and barrier islands as not to interfere with local wildlife or fragile ecosystems.
Tiger Dam's primary function is to act as a barrier between the ocean and the land. They will attempt to hold back oil at the dam so that it's not washed further on shore onto wildlife and property. The dams are being filled with the water directly from the Gulf of Mexico using a safety screen as not to harm any fish or crustaceans from being sucked into the pump, using water to fight the oil.
The top tube on the pyramid is a special containment unit that is initially pumped with water, but may be emptied in less than five minutes, ready to be pumped full of gooey oil and muddy debris that may wash up against the dam itself.
Made from American fabric and delivered directly from our warehouse in Kenner, Louisiana, Tiger Dams are fifty foot by nineteen inch cylindrical tubes that can be stacked in a pyramid shape up to thirty-two feet high and interconnected to form a barrier along the shoreline of infinite length.
Their environmentally-friendly design is a major benefit for this application in that they can be removed without leaving any footprint.
