Deployment Time and Personnel Required for Various Lengths of Flood Barrier

The time and personnel needed for deploying different lengths of the NoFloodsFlood Barrier (PRO 125) are as follows:

  • 100 Meters: With a team of 2-4 people, approximately 20-40 minutes are required for deployment, which involves laying out tubes and connecting terminals. Inflating with air takes approximately 5 minutes, and filling with water 20-40 minutes depending on pump capacity. For air and water-filling, only 2 people are needed.
  • 200 Meters: Deployment time for 200 meters is similar to 100 meters. An additional 1-2 minutes might be added, as deployment can be done directly from the storage box or hydraulic winch. The process involves laying out tubes and connecting terminals. Inflating with air takes an additional 5 minutes, and filling with water doubles up the amount of time.
  • 1,000 Meters: In optimal conditions, deployment of 1000 meters can be accomplished in approximately 4 hours with 6-8 people and the assistance of a vehicle and high-volume pumps. This efficient deployment involves connecting terminals and tubes, inflating with air, and utilizing high-volume pumps for water filling.
  • Water-filling example: TwinTube PRO 125 Volume = 2,350 l/m, 235,000 l for 100 meters. Water-filling time at 12,000 l / min = 2,350,000/ 12,000 = 19,6 minutes.

It’s important to note that pre-assembling tubes and terminals in advance, such as in a warehouse, can significantly reduce deployment times. The deployment process can be expedited by having the components pre-connected and ready for deployment.

Ultimately, the deployment time and personnel requirements depend on factors such as the length of the barrier, the level of preparation, wind velocity (above low velocity is assumed), the availability of equipment like pumps, and the experience of the team
