  • Publication number: 20230407587
    Abstract: A structure for use with a liner such as for use in a rapid deployment flood protection system for diverting a liquid. The structure may include frames connected by horizontal link bars. The frames may include a dam face, a base, and a brace, and may include a collapsed configuration with the braces and the bases aligned with the dam faces, and a configuration with the dam faces inclined at an acute angle relative to the bases and the braces extending between the bases and dam faces. The frames may include the base having a bump stop and a quick release pin for connecting the brace to the base. The frames may include a C-shaped brace and a sleeve extending between legs of the lower end of the C-shaped brace, and a quick release pin extendable through the C-shaped base and the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 11486107
    Abstract: A system for use in diverting a liquid includes a substantially impermeable liner and a plurality of supporting structures connectable to each other and configured for supporting the liner and a liquid when the liquid is received in a portion bounded by the liner. A first supporting structure of the plurality of supporting structures includes a first dam phase, a first brace and a first base connecting said first dam face to said first brace. A second supporting structure of the plurality of supporting structures includes a second dam face, a second brace and a second base connecting the first dam face to the second brace. The first base is configured to be located on a ground surface to support the first supporting structure and the second base is configured to be located on the ground surface to support the second supporting structure. The first dam face and the second dam face contact and support the liner.

  • Publication number: 20120261414
    Abstract: An above ground liquid storage system includes a substantially impermeable liner bounding an interior for receiving a liquid. A plurality of supporting structures and a base support the liner and the liquid when the liquid is received in the interior. The liner extends from the base over a top end of the plurality of supporting structures and descends to the ground to form a cavity under the plurality of supporting structures. A temperature controller in communication with the cavity controls a temperature of the cavity to control the temperature of liquid in the interior.
