Lightweight, quick, easy, and convenient flood prevention product compared to sandbags: Folding water barrier F-shield.
Mr. Kamiyama is involved in the management of two companies: Miyauchi Construction Co., Ltd., which is engaged in the construction industry, and Koshiki Fruit Garden Co., Ltd., which handles the production, processing, sales, and café operations of passion fruit.
"The area around our company is at a low elevation, and the sea level can rise and fall repeatedly in a short time due to 'abiki,' causing the roads to flood. Three years ago, for the first time, we piled sandbags in front of the fruit processing factory, but it was a huge task. The occurrence happened around 8 PM, and I had been drinking, so I couldn't drive a truck. Therefore, I asked someone from work to transport the sandbags stored in the fire department's warehouse by car. 'Abiki' can raise the water level in about 30 minutes. I felt that it would be too late to go and get the sandbags and stack them."
"The foldable water barrier F-shield takes up little space when stored folded and can be set up quickly. It is lightweight, making it easy for elderly women working in our processing factory to handle, and it looks better than sandbags, so it can be placed in visible areas without worry. I want to be well-prepared for sudden 'abiki' with the foldable water barrier F-shield."
