TURBOswiss

THE FLOOD CONTROL SYSTEM WITH THE SHORTEST ASSEMBLY TIME EVER

TURBOswiss Flood Control Systems fight floods by means of water-filled barriers that can be set up at just any place in a minimum of time and with a minimum of efforts. One barrier consists of two parallel tubes made from special, heavy-duty tarpaulin, featuring a barrage height of 94 cm. As standard, the tubes are 25 meters long. A unique, patented coupling system / lock element allows for setting up barriers of any given length and facilitates changing directions into all 3 di-mensions at any given point, without the need of deploying any specific components. TURBOswiss barriers can be set up in any kind of terrain and on any kind of surface without any fastening or support. TURBOswiss Flood Control Sys-tems stand out by extremely short assembly times, most easy handling, smart details, and premium quality. They were de-signed by a team, which contributed its longstanding experi-ence, profound product know-how, and unique expertise in order to achieve various improvements:

• quick and simple assembly (no time-consuming blow-up operations – extremely short assembly times)

• most simple handling (assembly/disassembly without any efforts thanks to TURBOswiss Caddy)

• improved watertightness of joints

• in- and outlets freely accessible at any time

• minor staff requirements – only 2 people needed for assembly

• easily storable even in confined spaces

• field use without any fastening

• requires no elbow elements and doesn’t comprise any loose parts

• allows for leaving passages that are closed shortly before the flood

• ATTRACTIVE HIRE-PURCHASE OPTIONS AVAILABLE

TURBOswiss means the consequent advancement and improvement of existing systems – faster to assemble and easier to handle!

element is the core of TURBOswiss System:

intuitive handling and reliable function

Smart and Stable Construction plus Intuitive HandlingTURBOswiss System’s centerpiece is the BIG BOX lock element. Intuitive

handling and reliability are basic conditions for a system’s quick and suc-

cessful deployment in disaster situations.

Tried and tested prefab components ensure a high level of functional reli-

ability. For rescue forces, this means well-known interfaces, familiar and

frequently rehearsed procedures, and fast assembly – in short: safe and

intuitive handling! The main element consists of high-quality, anodized bent

aluminum sheet components, riveted to a high-tensile construction by means

of various cross-beams. The smart combination of prefab components and

specifically designed elements facilitates most efficient design and produc-

tion efforts and expenses.

In the Field

—–––––––––––——————TURBO Caddy serves

to transport the large barrage tubes to the terrain endangered.

—–––––––––––——————… into BIG BOX lock

element.

—–––––––––––——————The tubes are laid out

in parallel…

—–––––––––––——————Positioning the hand

gears serves to fill the tubes as required.

This allows for lea-ving passages open as long as possible.

—–––––––––––——————… and connected to

each other by the lock.

—–––––––––––——————A spraying fountain

indicates that the operating pressure has been achieved

and filling is thus completed.

—–––––––––––——————Standard components

facilitate easy and intuitive handling.

—–––––––––––——————After only 50 minu-

tes, the 75 meter long and nearly 1 meter high barrier of 100

tons is ready to face the flood.

—–––––––––––——————Carbines serve to connect both

tubes to each other lengthwise; the ends

are equipped with outlets.

—–––––––––––——————The flooding has

been reached – and the barrier stands up

against it.

—–––––––––––——————The commander

orders the water pumps.

—–––––––––––——————The commander is

checking the system.

—–––––––––––——————From waters nearby,

water is pumped through the fire hoses

…

—–––––––––––——————When the flood has

passed, the water is drained from the

tubes. Within 30 minutes only, the

entire system is being disassembled.

TURBOswiss Flood Control Systems are an internation-ally patented flood fighting advancement by tubes. 6 men, equipped with 2 pumps, will need about 50 minutes to set up barriers of 75 meters length and a protective height of 94 cm. A similar bank made from sand bags requires approx. 80 tons of sand to be trans-ported, filled to 4500 – 5000 sand bags, and then piled up. Without having any recreational breaks, 60 men will need about 8 hours to realize this.
