[Case Study] Preparing for Flooding in Factories Due to Intense Rainfall with Foldable Flood Barriers

Anyone can easily, quickly, and conveniently implement flood prevention measures with the foldable water barrier F-shield.

This is a water barrier made by Furukawa Electric that replaces sandbags to prevent flooding damage from typhoons, floods, and sudden heavy rains. It can be stored compactly when folded during normal times. In the event of a disaster, it demonstrates excellent water-stopping ability and stability simply by placing three components on the ground. It can quickly respond to sudden flooding damage. 【Features】 ■ Easily and securely prevents flooding into buildings! - It has an excellent water-stopping performance with a height of 50 cm and a leakage rate of approximately 200 liters/(h·m²). (Note) This result is based on internal tests referring to JIS A 4716. (Note) The values are experimental values at a water level of 50 cm and are not guaranteed values. ■ Can be stored compactly and managed easily! - It can be folded and stored in shelves or narrow spaces, so it does not take up much space. ■ Anyone can easily and quickly transport and assemble it! - It can be quickly and easily installed in various locations such as in front of entrances, factories, underground parking lots, and garages without the need for construction. - It can be set up in about 2 minutes for a 2-meter opening. - It is lightweight, making it easy for women to carry.

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."

**Expert in Power Distribution Board Manufacturing: Takahashi Electric Co., Ltd.** Mr. Watanabe works in the General Affairs Department of Takahashi Electric Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the manufacturing of power distribution boards that are indispensable in modern social infrastructure. **Risk of Rainwater Infiltration into the Factory! Safety Measures and Risk Management at the Sheet Metal Factory** "At the entrance of our sheet metal factory, a small hill forest is encroaching, and during typhoons or heavy rain, there is a risk that rainwater will flow from the forest into the factory entrance. Since there are expensive equipment such as laser processing machines inside the factory, it was necessary to implement risk management to prevent rainwater from entering the factory entrance. We considered stockpiling sandbags, but they are heavy and deteriorate quickly, causing the contents to spill out. Therefore, we concluded that sandbags were insufficient as a safety measure for the factory." **Preparing for Flood Damage to the Factory with the Folding Water Stop Board F-shield** "The folding water stop board F-shield is easy to handle because it is foldable, allowing for timely storage and movement. Additionally, its bright yellow color enhances visibility, which is also appealing. I appreciate its sturdiness compared to sandbags, making it more user-friendly."
