| 405115000 | Flexible | 10 |
| 20100003081 | Water containment structure - A water structure that includes at least a pair of sleeves or tubes formed from a puncture resistant flexible material that are each joined to an edge of each of a pair of divider skirt sections that are, in turn, joined to one another along their opposite edges, for installation within an outer sleeve. Which connection of the divider skirt section edges to the sleeves or tubes and to each other is preferably by sewing, but may be provided by heat or adhesive bond, clamping, riveting, or other appropriate method. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100322712 | FLOTATION STRUCTURE FOR BUOYANT FLOOD PROTECTION BARRIER AND BARRIER INCORPORATING, SUCH A STRUCTURE - A flotation structure for a buoyant flood protection barrier includes a flotation body ( | 12-23-2010 |
| 20120269577 | Apparatus for and methods of stabilizing a leaking dam or levee - An apparatus | 10-25-2012 |
| 20130094906 | WATER BARRIER - Water barrier including a frame having tow posts and at least one sill extending therebetween, which posts and sill bound a passage that can be closed off against water, further including a flexible water-retaining cloth, a storage space for the cloth and a transfer element for transferring the cloth from a storage condition accommodated in the storage space, wherein the passage is open, to a water-retaining condition, wherein the passage is at least partially closed off by the cloth. | 04-18-2013 |
| 20130108372 | PORTABLE WATER-INFLATABLE BARRIER | 05-02-2013 |
| 20140363233 | SELF-RAISING DRIVE-OVER ENTRANCEWAYS FOR CONTAINMENT BERMS - Self-raising drive-over entranceways for containment berms are disclosed. The entranceway includes a horizontal bottom panel and a collapsible sidewall that is held in a partially collapsed position forming a void between the bottom panel and sidewall. During a spill or the filling of the containment berm with a fluid, the void area between the partially collapsed sidewall and the horizontal bottom panel fills with the fluid and exerts hydrostatic pressure against the partially collapsed sidewall, forcing it to rotate upward. The higher the fluid level, the more hydrostatic pressure is applied against the sidewall, forcing it up higher until the sidewall obtains a vertical orientation. The sidewall may be restrained either by straps, braces or the like to prevent the fluid from escaping the containment area. | 12-11-2014 |
| 20140369761 | BLADDER-CONTAINING WALL ASSEMBLIES FOR CONTAINMENT BERMS - A bladder-containing wall assembly for use in containment berms is disclosed. A bladder contained in the wall assembly communicates with the interior area of the containment berm via one or more inlet ports. The bladder self-deploys from the wall upon a substantial spill or leak inside the containment berm in order to increase the fluid containment volume of the containment device. The bladder-containing wall assembly may be substituted for a wall section of either permanent or portable containment berms. | 12-18-2014 |
| 20150023733 | REUSABLE AND REMOVABLE FLEXIBLE BAG OR CELL FLOOD WALL PROTECTION SYSTEM - A method of constructing and a system of utilizing a removable flexible bag or cell by providing a flexible bag or container or cell of the type having sidewalls, a sloping front wall and a vertical rear wall to define a space for holding material, such as sand; forming a bottom, which comprises a pair of panels, each panel extending two feet under the bag when the bag is filled with material; folding each panel back onto itself to end at the nearest edge; securing loops onto the end of each panel, which extend from out of the front and rear of the bag; securing the ends of the bag beneath the bag while the bag is being filled with material; pulling the loops away from the bag to pull the panels from under the bag so that the contents of the bag are exposed to the ground beneath the bag; and lifting the bag upward and way from the material contents of the bag, the material contents to remain in place on the ground upon which it had been set to continue to function as a barrier wall. | 01-22-2015 |
| 20160083918 | DEPLOYABLE FLEXIBLE FLOOD MITIGATION WALL - A novel design and construction method for the creation of a deployable flexible flood mitigation wall manufactured from textile and membrane materials. The flexible flood mitigation wall system comprises a textile/membrane wall and support posts configured to be movable between a stowed position and a deployed position and wherein, in the deployed position, the wall forms a leak-free barrier against flood water or other fluids. A series of posts that are manually deployed is used to support the fabric wall when hydrostatically challenged, and transfer loads to the ground. The wall is stored at the point of use in a surface box or trench box and keeps the loading from the flood water off the building, structure or equipment being protected. The flexible flood mitigation wall can be configured for use in many applications including entire buildings, building entrances, transit system passages such as ventilation shafts or elevator shafts, windows, stairwells, and other openings that can be threatened by flooding. It can be continuous such that it surrounds structures such as buildings and power substations, homes, or segmented, such that it can be used to seal openings of all kinds including human or vehicle doorways. It can be tailored to fit any opening and water height. | 03-24-2016 |
| 20160122962 | STAND ALONE WATER DEFENCE APPARATUS - A Stand-Alone flood barrier apparatus that bolts to the ground through anchor bolts (See FIG. | 05-05-2016 |
