A simple construction as starting point

The SLAMDAM^® excels in its simplicity. The highly stretchable EPDM material forms the basis for two connected compartments - by means of a specially developed membrane - that have to be filled with water simultaneously. This will create a very solid emergency dam.

When water exerts external pressure on the SLAMDAM^®, the compartment under stress is pushed 'slightly' upwards, whereupon the second compartment 'slots in', thereby ensuring the requisite counterpressure. This counteracts a lever-effect. Moreover, this will enable the SLAMDAM^® to provide maximum resistance to pressure exerted by high water levels.

A SLAMDAM^® can be erected by two people, using good pumps. When every second counts ...

• Roll out the SLAMDAM^®
• Position the SLAMDAM^® with 2 cm of overlap
• Fill the SLAMDAM^® with water
• Seal the caps
• The water barrier is ready!
