The Rapid Deployment Flood Wall (RDFW) is a modular, collapsible plastic grid typically used as an emergency protective measure in flooding operations.  It serves as a direct replacement for sandbag walls, forming an impermeable barrier.  The walls are assembled in place to the desired height and then filled with sand with a loader, requiring minimal labor. Typical dimensions are 8” tall x 3’-6” long x 3’-6” wide.

“This is one of my favorite entries. Such a simple holistic solution to a labor intensive, complex and increasingly persistent problem. Thorough testing has shown that the solution is more effective than traditional flood barriers, and has clearly helped to design a product that is so easy to install, scale to different situations, remove, store, reuse and recycle.”  –Isabel Ancona
