Flood levee and barrier module and system

This invention describes a modular system for building temporary flood barriers. Each module is a hollow prism-shaped container with openings on its top, bottom, and ends. When placed side-by-side, these modules connect using L-shaped locking plates, allowing sand or other filler material to flow between them and into the ground, creating a continuous, stable levee. The top opening allows for filling and monitoring the material inside.

Why it matters: While the core mechanical design remains, advancements in large-scale polymer molding and composite manufacturing since 2006 could significantly reduce the cost and speed of producing these custom modules. This could make rapid deployment of such temporary barriers more economically viable.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom module shells, L-shaped locking plates
