Your Advantages
Compared to sandbags, TIGER DAMS are ...
- more ecological, because TIGER DAMS do not leave any contaminated waste,
- reusable, so you save money for acquisition costs and waste management costs,
- more ergonomic, because less manpower is needed to build up the flood defence, in addition this protects the health of all helpers,
- easier to transport,
- faster to build up and to remove,
- usable without any preparation, because you do not have to fill the bags with sand,
- easy to store, because the tube only gets its high capacity, when fulfilled with water,
- flexible in applications, e.g. for property protection or as impoundment reservoir,
- multifunctional, e.g. as storage for drinking water or other liquids,
- cost-effective, even if you just compare it with ordinary sand bags material costs,
- That means: No disadvantages!
With 100 TIGER DAMS you can manage...
- a 1.500 meters tube line with a protection height of 0,45 meters
- or a 500 meters tube line with a protection height of 0,85 meters
- or a 240 m tube line with a protection height of 1,25 meters
- or a 150 m tube line with a protection height of 1,60 meters
- or the possibility to crate a maximum of 33 circle dams
Comparison between Tiger Dams and sandbags on a length of 150 meters
Protection Height | 0,45 m | 0,85 m | 1,20 m |
|---|---|---|---|
Number of TIGER DAMS | 10 | 30 | 60 |
Build-up time for 1 person | 4 h | 8 h | 12 h |
Number of sandbags | 5500 | 14500 | 32500 |
Build-up time for 1 person | 125 h | 350 h | 800 h |
- One TIGER DAM replaces ca. 550 sandbags*
- After using the tiger dam one time the costs will be amortized compared with normal sandbags.
- At least 26 times faster to build up compared to a sandbag dam.*
- Less transport capacity needed.
- Less environmental pollution by multiple usage.
- Less storage costs.
- UV resistant
- Chemically resistant**
- Saving resources due to less needed manpower.
- Assigning new tasks to helpers.
*Cost calculation for one sandbag calculated from “Bundesanstalt technisches Hilfswerk”. Including costs for putting the sand in the bags. Transport costs have to be calculated on top.
