The NOAQ Tube Wall consists of air-filled tubes of reinforced plastic, interconnected by ordinary zips to form a chain. Each tube has a ”skirt” attached alongside the tube, on the ”flood side”. When water start rising the skirt is pressed firmly towards the ground, hereby anchoring the tube. We call it ”The Bookend Principle”, as it works in the same way as an ordinary bookend. The bookend is supporting the books, but is in its turn kept in place because of the heavy books standing on it.
The NOAQ Tube Wall weighs less than half a percent of a correspondent sandbag barrier, and is easily handled by 2 - 4 people. A Tube Wall works as good on lawns and meadows as on gravel roads and asphalt, and does not require any preparations or abutments. Instead it utilizes the weight of the flood water for anchoring.

Aqua Levee is a water-filled emergency solution to large-scale flooding. It can take the place of sand-bag walls, and is compact, light, and easy to use. In pyramid form, with anchors in place, the current design can retain over 1m of water, and with proper storage and care can be re-used over and over. It has the benefits of easy deployment, easy re-use (just rinse it down and stack it away) and, with anchors in place, a high factor of safety.

• Aqua Levee can intervene in active flood waters. In October 2002 Aqua Levee was successfully introduced in 40 cm of flowing storm surge from Hurricane Lili.

• Empty Aqua Levee units are easily handled, weighing just 30 kg. Once in position, weight is added to the flood barrier from any water source, including the flood waters themselves. No ground preparation is required for standard deployment, and no assembly is required on site.

• Rigid sides withstand impact from floating debris, whilst the flexible ends and bottom provide the seal.

• Aqua Levee's modular design allows flood barriers to be extended in height, and strengthened, to meet changing flood conditions. The units are structurally stiffened to withstand lateral pressures and the gravity loads of stacking.

• Constructed from non-absorbent materials, the Aqua Levee is resistant to UV degradation, and with proper handling and storage can be deployed over and over. Storage is simple, each unit folding into a space approximately 80mm high by 800mm wide.
