Abstract: In an embodiment, a control barrier may include a hollow body at least partially defined by a front wall, a back wall, a top portion extending between the front and back walls, a bottom portion generally opposite the top portion, and first and second ends extending between the top and bottom portions. An elongated foot member may be connected to the back wall and a plurality of channels may be defined in at least one of the front wall or the back wall. The channels extend at least in a first direction and are arranged to reinforce the hollow body.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a water containment barrier may include a hollow body at least partially defined by a front wall, a back wall, a top portion, a bottom portion, a first end, and a second end. An external support system may be connected to the front wall of the hollow body. The external support system may include an upper cross member, a lower cross member, a first side member generally extending between the upper and lower cross members, and a second side member generally opposite the first side member. The external support system may be configured to at least partially reinforce the front wall against internal forces and/or external forces exerted on the front wall. The barrier may also include an elongated foot member attached to the bottom portion.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a water management barrier may include a hollow body at least partially defined by a front wall, a back wall, a top portion, a bottom portion, a first end, and a second end. The front wall may include a plurality of raised portions spaced from each other and extending substantially between the top portion and the bottom portion. The raised portions may at least partially define a plurality of channels extending substantially between said top portion and said bottom portion. The raised portions and/or the channels may be configured to help the front wall resist deformation due to one or more forces being exerted on the front wall. The barrier may also include an elongated connection member connection to the first end and a connection recess formed in the second end. The barrier may also include an elongated foot member attached to the bottom portion.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to barriers for managing and/or controlling water. In an embodiment, a barrier may include a hollow body at least partially defined by a front wall, a back wall, a top portion and a bottom portion. An elongated connection member may be connected to the first end. The connection member may have a tapered free end portion substantially adjacent said top portion and a lower free end portion substantially adjacent said bottom portion of said hollow body such that the connection member virtually extends the entire length of the first end. A connection recess may be formed in the second end. The connection recess may be sized and configured to generally correspond to at least a portion of the connection member. The barrier may further include a foot member attached to the bottom portion, and a fill port and a drain port in fluid communication with the hollow body.

Abstract: A barrier for managing and/or controlling water is disclosed that includes a set-up configuration and an in-use configuration. While in the set-up configuration the barrier can be moved and positioned, and while in the in-use configuration the barrier is made to weigh a substantial amount more than in the set-up configuration and to resist the force of flood or other waters. In one embodiment the barrier includes a front wall, a back wall, a top portion, and a bottom portion forming a rigid hollow body with a first end and a second end. A connection member is formed or otherwise placed on the first end, and a connection recess formed or otherwise placed on the second end. The barrier can further include a fill port and a drain port such that the barrier can be filled with, and drained of, a pourable material.
