The Question is… How do we protect this?
3
To avoid this? The Question is…
4
Without using this? The Question is…
5
To preserve this? The Question is…
6
The answer is… The Invisible Flood Control Wall
7
The IFCW goes up when waters rise…
8
And the IFCW comes down the 99% of the time that waters are down… A permanent solution to a temporary problem.
9
Reportedly the largest removable floodwall project in the world. St. Paul Downtown Airport, St. Paul, MN
10
How does the IFCW work? Base plate embeds are sunk deep into a poured concrete foundation. The anchored embeds secure vertical parting support posts.
11
How does the IFCW work? When wall is down, nothing but the storage bolts are visible. Storage bolts are either headed or headless, depending on access requirements.
12
How does the IFCW work? Vertical parting supports are lifted into place, and anchor bolts are secured into embeds In a typical installation, 3 workers can erect 1200 sq. ft. in 2 hours
13
How does the IFCW work? Unique base planks are fitted with specialized gaskets, and orient the wet/dry side. Gaskets are on dry side, so planks fill during flooding, increasing stability and integrity
14
How does the IFCW work? The patented plank design features a tongue and groove system Side thrust resistant
15
How does the IFCW work? Extruded aluminum planks simply stack vertically Planks weigh 5 lbs/lf, easily handled by two people No cranes or heavy machinery required for typical erection
16
How does the IFCW work? Compression channels attached to posts are ratcheted into set position, forcing the plank face into tight contact with the vertical seal.
17
How does the IFCW work? Hold-down clamps are used to squeeze the planks against each other, sealing the system horizontally
18
How does the IFCW work? For an IFCW™ over 6' in height, diagonal braces are positioned on both intermediate and parting supports A pin connected floating foot is threaded to accept the tension rod for adjusting the parting supports.
19
How does the IFCW work? Wall dimensions – 3500 lineal feet, 8 - 10 ft. high Project also includes specially designed half wall area

21
How is the IFCW stored? The easy stacked and palletization of IFCW components translates to minimal storage requirements Warehouse requires only cover, no heat
